Yesterturn's menu for Blaze the Flame Serpent included Pirate grub and Pirate ale. I listened closely in hopes of hearing a bit of an "Arrrrr!" from him, but Blaze was silent as usual.

This morning I brought him a meat pie and a mug of MSG. Ah! The MSG disappeared very quickly! It took a half-marc longer for him to consume the meat pie.

This is an encouraging event.

I wonder . . .

We are still awaiting announcement of another meeting before the advance. I pray that is is scheduled soon. Very soon.
