Richard is out and about, enjoying the winter in the country. He misses London in some ways, but in others, the clear air of the grounds never ceases to amaze him. He's perhaps a bit restless indoors these days, after all. But he's also optimistic. There are people he misses, surely. But there are people here too, worth seeing and caring about

"You seem to be in good spirits, Mr Carstone."

[jarndyceheir]

He smiles. "Leftover Christmas spirit, I expect. How are you, Mrs Strange?"

Well, Sugar and Sophie's door is constantly ajar these days, so should Richard wish to say hello, he's more than welcome.

[jarndyceheir]

He will probably at least pop his head in to wish them both a happy new year.

"And to you," replies Sugar as she comes closer... and is almost run over by Sophie - who unfortunately has a bit of a sugar high going on, no pun intended. "Mr. Carstone!!!"

It's been a while. It shows.

[jarndyceheir]

He grins and catches her in his arms, swinging her up into the air for a moment. "Happy New Year, Miss Sophie."

Pascal usually doesn't notice people much, but he will pick out Richard's silhouette, and give him a wave.

"Bonne Annee, Monsieur Carstone."

[jarndyceheir]

"Hello, doctor." He comes over with a smile. "Have you been well?"

[doctor_pascal]

"I have, my thanks. And yourself?" Pascal is friendly, open.

[jarndyceheir]

"Well, thank you. I hope you're having a good Christmas season."
