"Well, I think I'd like to go too. Just in case something happens, you might need a level head around. And Hxaptos, I think you're right, I really do just need to go to House Jorasco, it won't do me any good if I die from filth fever before the month is out, what an embarassing way to go! Say Mel, did you find anymore out about Terrik? I did a little legwork on him, and you were the one that pointed me in the right direction in the first place. Maybe we could pool our resources?" Arimat say casually, keeping his voice low. "And Rayni, I wouldn't worry about the Houses. Those two are entertainers, not agents of the Aerenal government! The Houses are politically neutral, you know. Don't let them dictate what you can and can't do!" he adds to the elf girl, his expression both mischevious and kind.

"You do have an interesting collection of friends, that's for certain," Forge remarks as Tondrek points out the party's table. "And if they are interested in going on an expedition, we wouldn't say no to the help. But we have to raise the money for a letter of marque, and they're not cheap. It's also possible... there may be closer sources for what we seek. We're going to be doing some research and fund-raising, as there's no sense going off all different directions at once. If you want to join us, or ask your friends if they'd be interested in a trek to foreign lands, please just ask," she adds.

The group can finish up their conversations and then move their little get-together back to Bail's apartment (though some people may prefer to go to other places).
OOC: I believe Shenystari has something she wants to talk to Rayni and Mel about, and visa versa. And if anyone wants to set up further meetings/conversations at Bail's place or otherwise, go ahead.
