Darnell: *nods, frowning* With how far-reaching I already know his influence to be, I'd be surprised if he /hasn't/ already achieved a stranglehold first on the major city closest to him. *sits back and runs a hand back through his hair - Life Light, what should he do now? This is sounding bigger and bigger than he can truly hope to deal with...not that he won't fight to anyway*

Rafa: *will rest a hand on Darnell’s shoulder.* I’ll do what I can to help and I’ll let you know if I think of anything else.

Darnell: *covers the amin's hand, giving it a squeeze* Thank you, Rafa. It's good to know that I have at least one ally I can trust in this city. *sighs and puts away his journal* I should get home. *reaches into his coin pouch and pulls out a handful to offer Rafa - it's a generous amount for a healer's services* Please accept this.

Rafa: That is far more than is warranted for my services, Detective. *he’ll pick out only as much as he’s owed unless Darnell stops him and insists*

Darnell: *shakes his head, catching one of Rafa's hands and placing the whole amount into it, holding the amin's hand between both of his* Rafa, I insist. One, I owe you my life. Two, you may have just made yourself a target for it - I pray that's not the case. And three, I'm sure you've treated many who couldn't pay. Let me help your coffers so you can continue to pay your own expenses and treat those who need you.

Rafa: *studies Darnell for a long moment...and then nods, giving him a small smile* Thank you. *he'll pocket the money and stand up. He'll put it away and then come help Darnell to his feet* Keep that wound covered for a few days, cleaning it twice a day until the stitches dissolve. I'll mix up an antiseptic for you to take with you.

Darnell: *nods* My adoptive father is an amin healer. *in other words, he's familiar with things and knows to comply*

Rafa: *little smile and a nod* Then I’ll not bore you with instructions and will trust you to do what’s needed.

J’har: Is Master Gordal expecting you, sir?

[neverasked4this]

Darnell: *small, humorless grin* I highly doubt it. Please tell him that Master Detective Barrett is here to speak with him.

J’har: *bows* Of course, sir. If it please you, sir, we have a sitting area for you to wait in. *she’ll step back, opening the door wider to offer him entry.*

[neverasked4this]

Darnell: Yes, thank you. *will step through the door, softly touching her arm as he passes as a brief thank-you and just for a point of contact and acknowledgement of her presence and personage since he can't say too much directly*

J’har: *glances up at him at the touch, then drops her gaze again with a blush.* There are seats here if it please you, sir. I will let Master Gordal know you are waiting for him.

[neverasked4this]

Darnell: Yes, thank you. *will go have a seat*
