He laughed, not a condescending or mocking laugh, but a jovial, happy sort of laugh. He didn't really know why he was laughing, just that he found her question highly amusing. My family is very large my Lady. John is the Police Commissioner for Bretonia, William is on Her Majesties Privy Council, Victor is fast on his way to becoming Director of Intelligence, the current Director, Sir Harry is my Uncle and Edmund is the First Sea Lord of Bretonia. I myself am only the Vice Chancellor of the University. But yes, to answer your question, I am very much related to Edmund. His laughter faded, leaving only a smile.

My Brothers are...not very diplomatic, you must accept my apologies for any blunt comments they make but they are, as I'm sure you understand, under a great deal of stress.
