Aedon had given James a castle, but he was in a bit of a rut after finishing the little garden, the pooka wasn't all that sure what to do next, the castle was nice, but so much more space then he ever thought he would have to work with! There had to be a way to make it his own. And there was the Rest. It would be sacrilege to let it close and leave Aegis without a proper tavern! Where would people drink? What if knights needed rest? But Aedon was right in that running two taverns was probably not something he could manage, and he did not have it in him to let Que's doors close either. That was when he learned about the Knight's Rest moving! To right next door! It wasn't ready yet, but the tavern will not close. That just leaves the other problem: What to do with the castle?
Well, talking with his friend also provided that answer too, he mentioned what Eli and Phaen would think of him owning a castle...that itself was not answerable, the creature wasn't all that sure what he thinks about owning a castle much less what his friends thought. But it reminded him of when he first joined their freehold, and the little hutch they made him. And it gave a solution.
The luck of pookas provides many things. There are things that others have to worry about, the pooka usually do not. One of which is a roof over their heads, it is rare to find a pooka that cannot manage to find a place to stay for the night when it was truly needed. And for more years then he can count, the pooka now called James had stayed with friends, strangers, in half-abandoned storage spaces, caves or whatever haven he could find for a night, a week, sometimes months.
That is until Aedon gave him a place to live more permanently in Aegis years ago, which started a chain leading to his home in the Freehold, and being made into a trooping Fae.
The Freehold.
There are many concepts these places have, but one he thinks is among the best is the right to safe-haven for Fae (though he knows from personal experience it is not always honored--otherwise courtless wild Fae would be coming in and stealing glamour-he had done that often enough as well).
James did like setting a room aside for the first person who needed it.
Aedon liked the idea of a haven for pooka. But wasn't Cara the one who ended up needing that room for a time? So why not take that further? Yes, he would definitely be the one to provide a place to stay now, but not just for pookas, not just for Fae, but a safe-haven for ANYONE who might need it!
It isn't ready yet, he could probably fit another three or four bedrooms in that castle, it isn't much, but he also isn't all that sure who would want to stay there.
But those are more problems for later, a place where anyone who needs a roof over their head for a time sounds great. It certainly can't be called "the Knight's Rest" though. The Knight's Rest would be "the Knight's Rest". Luckily Aedon had an idea for a new name as well-one that will show what the place is, it even had a pun!
The designing rut is gone, now there is much to do! Rooms to set up! Storage to move somewhere out of the way! Walls to build!
It will take time, but once it's ready, with luck, the doors of "Innis Free" will always be open.
