While things are getting better a lot of things are still a trainwreck on my end.
While my cat has responded to the thyroid medication, she can’t take it as a pill which is the prime reason for all of her side effects (including being vomity as all hell)
So the mighty 15 year old furball is going to be getting a topical gel in her ears, and is on anti-nausea medication and a reduced dose of the pills until she can get on the gel.
That’s one thing that’s getting better…on the other hand, the day after I posted my message about things going on pause, an elderly family member banged themselves up in a fall and is still recovering.
So we are still in wait and see mode over here. When we know more, you’ll know more. š
Thorondor āIanā Caladharas is the 18 year old heir to one of the first of the Merchant Houses. An intelligent, independent teenager; Ian has a tendency towards irreverence and and frustration. In all honesty, he doesnāt care what his grandfather says he is heir to, he just wants to have a normal life. Or at least as normal a one as possible. (As my skills improved I made some revamps to this characters appearance to reflect aging and such as well. The top picture is how he is currently modeled. )
Julia Wells, significant other of Ian Caladharas. Julia co runs the Wells Hotel in Erechās Clocktower District. For those people who have rpgād in this world: The Wells Hotel is now known as Cytheronās. Julia and Ian tied the knot in the City of Greyrest in the Crossing Territories.
This is still within a moth after the coupe of the Olde Guard?
Most folks would know, on sight, the leaders of House Mebhe and House Caladharas. And, considering the circumstances, they would also know the leaders of the merces and their families. That comes with power.
Heh, sometimes the maĆ®tre de KNOWS you even if you are a not “known person” and if the story is good. i.e. he sees clearly the old “Oh he’s got it bad” signs. Well, sometimes even the stuffiest one will help out in little ways.
I see several things in Julia’s face. Love for her husband. A bit of amusement that he didn’t even know the maitre d’hotel would recognize him (he was Tanaiste at the time — or was that supposed to happen at his next birthday? I might be wrong about this bit). Appreciation that he doesn’t throw his weight around.
Well, I’m wrong about the “recognize” part. Yes, Ian was Tanaiste, but I forgot that he prefers privacy. In fact, I should have remembered the time when Ian was out walking at night and was checked out by Officer Briana Cook (comics #848/2007-01-07 through #852/2007-01-12). Cook had no idea who he was, even though he was second in command of his House.

The incident that Ian and Julia are referring to took place 5 months before the beginning of the comic.
