I brought word that last night's avalanche had blocked the southern road, and I saw His Grace's face freeze for the first time. It didn't look like he was worried about the road, so I just closed the door and left.

• RaimundThe road clears in five days. Don't go spreading rumors.
  IreneFive days? I was standing right there when you reported fifteen to His Grace.
  Raimund...Go to the kitchen.
