Some more editing, and ~300 words more on the Firiel story, but then I reached the end of the scene and couldn't decide what the next scene is so am rather stuck for now. Hopefully tomorrow with bring new ideas.
Later in the same scene "That reminds me. As we are talked about arrangements, would you like to see the other bedrooms? Some of your ladies will be expected to sleep here with you while I am away. I will not insult you by demanding that one share your bed, but it would excite too much gossip for you to be up here alone." "I would not wish to be alone - it would be too quiet." She got to her feet. "So, finish the tour? After the earlier interruption?" She said teasingly. He laughed and she joined in. He got up and put an arm around her, drawing her down the corridor. There were another four full bedrooms - each with sleeping space for two people, plus a small room that looked to be suitable for Elwien, as well as another bathing room. "Very nice. I assume in time that these will come to be for our children." "Yes," Arvedui said, pulling her closer and kissing her deeply.
