Ask Finnius what the hurry is for.
From Lord Of Utterdom
"Whatever is the rush?" You say, as you get tugged along by Finnius.
"Your father has important guests and wishes you to attend his company. His guests have news, and they are an impatient lot." Finn says as he pulls on your arm, desperate to get you to the throne room. "A Baron, I believe."
A Baron? Well, that certainly is quite a thing. They hardly ever leave their counties, and should one be here to meet with your father, it certainly means something extradorinary is bound to have occured.
You hurry in your step, and now it is you that pulls Finnius along.
