The little ha! made Jeremiah laugh himself, warm and happy, despite the topics at hand. He shook his head, mostly at himself. This was not the weirdest thing his conclusion his mind had jumped to before. "I suppose I could ask if you were born a Mercer, that would make it easier but ..."
It would be let go for now. "You're family and the details of that can wait for another time. When you can sign and it'll be understood properly."
Jeremiah fell quiet for a moment, looking at her and then looking to the water. "What does this mean for the court?" he asked softly. If the Court was not in her control, if Melany and Ezra were missing, then there was a power vacuum, almost, and that could not mean well.
"There's already things going on back in Ashdown again, I can only assume there's going to be more changes, if there's something wrong with a Principal." Especially given what had happened last time.
There really never did seem to be a break. Never mind worry for Pax, Noeh, and Pride.

Noeh did chew on the end of the pen this time. She paused for a long moment, and then bent her head over the notebook and started to write. And write and write and write. She turned the page, and wrote some more.
Then she passed the notebook over.
The Court grew from my involvement with Ezra and Melany, Noeh wrote. It became my Court once Adoelle gave it structure and power. With me no longer capable of the binding magic, Adoelle dead, and Ezra and Melany missing, I assume it is the property of the nobles we created. Your powers are already shaped and formed, and you're in the first blush of your ability, so it's still drawing from you and not me or Adoelle or anyone else. Your tithes and fetches are stable as long as you don't do anything stupid, like die.
This is your chance to re-create the Court. To change it, if you like. But you must have cooperation from other nobles.
A few lines are scribbled out, too dense for Jeremiah to make sense of.
I would like to see the Court remade into something less abusive. The way things run was necessary at the time. It might not be necessary any longer.
