| His return to Black Cliff Hold was uneventful. Edric had maintained his duties as best as he could for the duration of his contract and that made a return to normal life much easier. There were, of course, plenty of trips to be made to the outlying cotholds - but that was why certain contracts to certain greenriders existed. There were plenty of other trips to be made. Trips in the wee hours. Strange hours. Hours that begged questions that could not be asked. The work was done. The carefully maintained machines continued to run smoothly. Turn's End went off without a hitch - a tasteful affair, all in all. Elegant but not extravagant. Well-attended. Finely decorated. Exquisitely catered. It was as it was every turn. And that was purposeful. Still. Visits to Fort Weyr were necessary - Erinta would not ask for him and he knew it, but there were still things that he wanted to do. Needed to do. X'vin was still there. Z'riah, too. Rhiannon. Loose threads, all of them, in their varying ways. The taxes. The budget. All of it. The Weyr should be reaching financial solvency by the third month of the new turn if his calculations - and the reports he was able to get from the Weyr - were at all correct. Eight months after his initial budget was implemented. Not quite perfect timing - but close enough. He had anticipated a better response from the riders; had anticipated a higher level of compliance with the taxes. No matter. He snorted to himself, shook his head, studied the blank paper on his desk. One more report to write. One more set of recommendations to make. And from there? Plenty else to be seen to. Plenty more to be done. |
