The weather was starting to truly heat up for the summer months, and Tazikel was taking full advantage of the long daylight hours to spend as much time outside as possible. He'd spent the morning riding down to the Fishercraft Hall, on an errand for his father to bring a message to the Masterfisher. Lord Barenkel wanted to confirm that the usual seasonal change in fish locations was progressing as usual and there was no reason for concern that would prompt him to pad the food stores more than usual just yet. The fires in Ista of the turn before were not forgotten, and Tazikel's father had been excessively worried about food stores recently. Not the most exciting message, but the Masterfisher had shown Tazikel on some of the maps where different types of fish were plentiful, and one of the Masters had promised Tazikel he would take him on his boat someday soon if he wanted to go (Tazikel did). It also got him out of the meeting with the Lord of Wherever that his father and older brother were stuck in. Hah. Promises of boat trips were much more fun.
Errand complete, however, Tazikel decided to wander the shops, chatting with merchants and shopkeepers, reminding everyone that the Lord Holder - through his son - was present and cared about the people. Or whatever, that's what his father and tutor were always on about and it was the excuse Tazikel always gave to justify all his exploration. He was getting to know the people and reminding them the Lord and his family gave a shit about them. A little jewelry shop holds his attention for a while, as he debates getting a small gift for his youngest sister, or perhaps his brother's newish wife. His brother was very focused on learning to be a Lord and had little time for Tazikel anymore, and Taz somehow doubted he gave as much attention to his lady wife as she deserved. The young women is quite nice, and Tazikel doesn't want his brother to give her a bad opinion of the entire family.
