The Queen stood on the balcony when she saw her sisters falcon land on the ledge. She apporached him and gently removed the note it carried. She read it thorughly. The bird sat waiting and she went into her chamber and sat at her desk picking up a quill and a fresh sheet of Papyrus she wrote:
Lady Kingston,

I have received word from my sister that you wish an audience with me. If you can please meet me at the Palace tomorrow night at 8 past the eastern sun. Please send a reply.

Thank you,

Lady Wicked Rose
Queen of Ra, Hand of Ra
Regency Justicar

She gently rolled the letter and smtood walking back outside. She tied it to the falcon's left leg an he flew off into the night sky.

She had just checked on her sister, Molly, and reported on the meeting. Will was resting comfortably in their room, when the falcon landed on the arches of the garden wall. The bird then hopped to a branch then to the table, it's wings making wide shadows as it flew the short distance to the table near her. She pushed a dish of dried fruit towards it as she coaxed it soothingly. It looked at it oddly trying a piece that resembled raw meat. It seemed disapointed but allowed Kathleen to take the message from it's leg. She looked at Molly and smiled.

It's from Wicked Rose. she related to her sister.

Good. Molly replied. We need to make our statement. You will have to write it as I don't have use of my arm yet with this shoulder out of kilter.

Kathleen nodded and wrote as Molly related her statement to the court.

Now I need to send a message agreeing to the meeting time. she said to her sister and smiled excusing herself.

As Kathleen passed her sister she touseled her hair and laughed.

Molly said, You wait till I can move this arm again. and laughed teasing her sister. Don't you know I am supposed to be dignified?

They both laughed at each other as Kathleen offered a gauntleted arm to the bird. It hopped onto the gauntlet. She took him to the kitchen and found him some leftover meat from dinner and placed a dish of it on the table. The bird hopped down and ate while as she went to the writing desk. She wrote a reply to Lady Rose.

Dear Lady Rose,

Thank you for your quick response. I do hope this letter finds you well. I will be pleased to meet with you at eight past the noon hour tomorrow. I am unsure of the location of the palace so if you could send an escort or some directions I am sure that I will be able to find my way there at the arranged time.

Sincerely,
Kathleen Kingston, Officer of the Court, RCL, Luna.

She carefully rolled up the note and replaced on the leg of the bird after it had it's fill of leftovers. It seemed to give a nod of thanks and then spread it's wings heading for the opened windows and disapeared. Kathleen then went to look for Mo who had this shift of guard duty.
