Her questions made Audric laugh. "If I begin telling you about my soldiering days, I'm afraid you won't be able to get me to shut up." True enough, true enough!
"My sisters jointly inherited the Cat's Eye Merchant Company after my mother passed away. It's one of the biggest in the region, in fact. Relena -- Lena, we call her -- has her nose in the books, usually. She has two sons, Brice and John. Their father was killed shortly before John was born, and Lena hasn't remarried. I doubt she ever will." That made him frown a bit. He loved his sister dearly, but without a husband, it seemed she was married to her work. It hadn't particularly been good for the boys, but they were sweet enough, if a little rambunctious.
Continuing his narrative, Audric added, "The Company will go to Susannah's daughters. She has two, as well as a son. They're a little bit wild, my sister included. I think she could even out-run me."
That pretty much rounded them out! Ah, except she wouldn't know... "My parents are both dead -- nothing tragic, I assure you -- so my sisters and their families, and Calent, of course, are all the family you'll have to meet." His smile was genuine as he added, "I think you'll be a great addition, however."
