Isn’t that the 2nd Tyger this reign, though?
Alexandre was made in the last reign, by Edward and Thyra.
Ah, right. Thanks. It’s actually the EK Gazette header that always throws me, as I keep thinking it’s Alexandre getting his Tyger at NRWC, even though I was AT Mudthaw and saw him get it.
I should probably drink less.
Drink less???? Heretic!
