[Fortunately, along with the matters of expeditions, other political affairs have picked up again with the return of warm weather, so Hendrik is spared a meeting with the king as soon as he returns. He is in his room, being helped out of his armor by attendants, when the aide reports Jasper's location. The report along is enough to make him smile, as it shows interest in the fact that he's returned home.
He thanks his little retinue before dismissing them, grabbing the sack of supplies he had bought from the merchants before heading towards the gardens. It's not every day he gets to bring home gifts.
The gardens are not yet in full bloom, but they offer a decent preview of what will be flourishing for the upcoming month or so. Even coming from the "kingdom of flowers," Hendrik cannot say his knowledge of flowers and gardens is rudimentary at best.
...But the flowers aren't what his eyes are on as he steps through the archway denoting the start of the garden.]
