"Even more chaotic than usual. How well do you know a guy called Cody? Claims to be from Amber, likes to hang out in parts of the Courts where the skies don't shine? They say that he is being hunted by assassins."

<OOC> It's a good thing that Cody is in Rebma surrounded by water because his ears just burst into flames! </OOC>

[[OOC: Did Cody and Hammett ever meet? If I remember right Cody once said that he went briefly to Amber after the war ended, and Hammett returned to the castle a little while after the war ended. Did their paths cross? Hammett returned about a year after the war ended and was there for a few months, before moving on again. After that he was back and forth to the castle every now and then, for important events (parties, galas, and so on) and occasional personal and private visits.]]

<OOC> The short answer is no. Very unlikely unless Hammett had any interaction with Dierdre in her chambers. Then Cody would have been introduced as Dierdre's paige and not by name. </OOC>

"I've never heard of him, I'm afraid to say. But then, that's not so rare. There seems to be a lot of unknown family turning up these days. Why does someone want this Cody dead?"

"For one or all of the usual reasons one would be assassinated," he says with a little laugh.
"Maybe our new king is less patient than the former? Maybe he is less willing to have a child of Deirdre's fomenting unrest among the lowest orders of society? Or it could have been by someone from your side trying to get rid of a claimant to the throne? I hear that you're all kingless over there."
[[OOC: I had to look up foment. All my life, I thought it was forment. Similar to how I always thought the guy's name was Rod Sterling, it was only a few years ago I really looked at the name and discovered there is no t.]]

Hammett, "Just another day then, I guess. Hopefully the assassins won't be stupid enough to try anything at the castle, if that is where this Cody is staying. That wouldn't be good for relations between the two kingdoms. I was going to ask if this would be a good time to come and finally visit you, and the courts, maybe even meet with the new King, if he has the time and inclination, but if things are so chaotic there, maybe I should wait. What do you think?"

"Cody fled the realm, so they say, so his assassins aren't about anymore. We are back to the usual death rate while Merlin becomes king. There has been a lull in the deaths over the last few turns. I think this is an excellent time to visit."

"Wonderful!" Hammett holds out his hand, "Pull me through." He steps through with Xinith's help. Well here goes nothing...
