Quin: *gives him a nod, then…glances at the door before whispering* Inriomai? *doesn’t want to look/sound the fool if he’s wrong*

Dox: *lifts his head* Yes. I was wondering if you knew, but didn't want to frighten you if you didn't. Well met, friend Harlequin.

Quin: *grins, relaxing* Well met indeed, Dox. Are you and Warrik bonded or just close?

Dox: We are bonded. *proud of that* Have been for nearly three years now.

Quin: *small grin and a nod, though there’s a faint guardedness to it – he…still hasn’t really reconciled the “positivity” of that with his own personal biases* I’m glad for you. I assume Warrik is happy with this too?

Dox: *nods* We developed a friendship over four years before bonding. He wanted to be sure of me first.

Quin: *just…nods again* I’m happy for you both. *will slip into bed*

Dox: Thank you. Sleep well, friend.

*Vashti has approved the plan for Quin to join his family and offer a performance at Kadar’s place, assuming Kadar accepted the offer Tam and Ziomi would be making today. Quin and Scraps will head back for the town, and in the meantime, Tam and Ziomi are reaching the place they agreed to meet Mitham and Naijah before going in to Kadar’s, just to see if they’ve learned anything yet.*

Quin: *stands and bows /low/* Blessings upon you and your household, Lord Kadar. *and he’ll head out, /relieved/*

Kadar: Thank you. LifeLight shine upon you.
Scraps: *outside, worried. She wasn't allowed to follow Quin. She /perks/ when she sees him* Harlequin? *concerned and relieved at the same time*

Quin: *gives her a nod and a grin, leading her away in the direction of meeting the others – only once they’re away, quietly* He’s been on to things since Rai was asking around. He knows I’ve been in and out of town, and that Tam and the others have been asking around as well as performing there a /lot/. He . . . seems to be okay with things. He knows that a rumor of some “terrible, damaging secret” got out of hand despite his efforts. Apparently, three months ago, one of his bookkeepers went to him claiming that Lady Vashti may have cheated him on a business deal. He had his people go back over their numbers carefully before saying anything to her. They found the error – it was on their end. He hopes after all this that she’s still willing to do business with him in the future. And that the Pranksters are welcome to continue performing at his home if they wish.

Scraps: *deep sigh of relief* LifeLight, that's good to hear.
Ziomi: I'd say. He sounds like a good man, I'm glad there's nothing more to worry about.

((I'm assuming that "meeting up with everyone else" is the other Pranksters likely heading in for more work and performing.))
