I am sorry that I could not stay as long as I'd planned, but when Our Lord calls... preparing for Court now.
Gossip would not bother me in the least, as you well know; what others think of me is immaterial. But I had thought to protect your reputation with the witches, dearest. It would be most difficult to find your next lady-love if she believed you were being unfaithful for the very asking!
(I should ask Narcissa to find me a proper escort for the holiday season who will not importune me and who can at least carry on a conversation about something. It will likely save me heartache later; apparently I am also thought to be paying court to Razzer's intended, and you know the rumors that spring perpetually up around me and Narcissa. It's enough to make a man want to enter a monastery; at least there he would not be thought to be copulating with everyone he seemed to have a close friendship with.)
But if you are not concerned about the gossip -- must admit, the protectiveness does warm my heart, lapushka. (However, do not kill the trainees. Much, much more fun to retrain them. Pointedly.)
