The event wraps up, leaving a few hours to rest before the party. Eivor escapes to her rooms without incident.
Kat hears much of the same talk as yesterday. Still, with the shock of Gerard's death passing, the conversation leans more toward the navy - opinions on Calvera's fitness to be Admiral (mixed opinions), the need for more ships (all are in favour), the business of ropemaking and the need to refurbish the city's ropewalk (all in favour especially when there is money to be made and Chatham's ropes are inaccessible from Shadow), lumber for the ships (mixed here as even some of the most rapacious investors and merchants balk at cutting down the trees of Arden or Garnath). Levying or impressing the poor of the city into this new fleet is considered good practice by all.
Some also talk of King Rinaldo and his command of Arden's Rangers (mixed), the need for revenge against Lady Vada and Kasaba (combined), and Princess Flora's expansion of noble estates into the lands surrounding Kolvir (great approval). Dorian's mother, the Lady Chantris, has difficulty sitting through the funeral, twisting and stewing like a caged tiger, and can not sit through the meal but paces up and down the room while the other guests dine and talk.
