1. King Brydan grows busier and busier as the situation with the Summoned escalates. Talks circulate of the King making a few public appearances across Thorne to placate citizens and Summoned alike, to assure everyone that the crown is doing all it can to ensure people's safety. Any time the topic of the Queen is raised, Brydan only ushers his advisers and associates to continue to give her their full support. He believes that she will make the right decision for the kingdom.
2. Kyle won't need to go far to hear about the Rhett siblings. Their distaste for one another is the first thing that most people mention, only after discussing their expertise in magics. The twins attempt to be civil in front of larger audiences, but they frequently talk about one another whether or not their sibling is out of earshot. One rumor has it that once in their youth, they got into a fight that ended with Ambrose suffering a great indignity which he refuses to confirm.
Despite their differences, they manage to work together for long hours and can be seen coming in and out of a sanctioned conference room. Why they are using that rather than Ambrose's office is not immediately clear. Anastasia herself appears to be on good terms with the mages who studied in Hayle, especially Jolene Sybell.
3. Kyle would be granted permission to take a look if he'll be in the area regardless for a typical delivery. He'll have a few opportunities for this since Nott often needs packages delivered. Thorne would request he take a guard with him for safety. The guard would not hinder him from looking around and would simply be there to make sure he returns to Castle Thorne in one piece. If Kyle wants to give the guard the slip for about an hour or so, he can observe that the guard is overworked and has a penchant for drink. The guard can be convinced to take rest around noon, during which he will fall asleep. He will be grateful if Kyle is still there when he wakes up, especially if Kyle promises not to tell anyone about the guard's lapse.
