"Thank you! It is an honor for me to be your ally."
I nod back at Jax with a smile and thank him too, then follow Nyla out of the tavern.

When Meenah turns to nod a goodbye at Jax, the barkeep is busy sweeping Nyla's ten gold crowns into his apron pocket. Jax flashes Meenah a distracted goodbye then scuttles back behind his bar.
Standing outside the door to Ghelve's Lock Shop is Celeste, her cropped champagne-hued hair burnished bright in the lantern light of the early evening. "I've come to pay a visit. You weren't home, so I was about to leave. Happily, you've returned." Contrary to the last time the companions saw Celeste at the Cusp of Sunrise private club on Obsidian Avenue, this time the woman isn't wearing silks heavily overlaid with embroidery. Celeste is dressed in finely tailored brown woolen breeches and a cream-colored silk blouse with mother-of-pearl buttons. A pair of chocolate brown knee-high riding boots and a blood red woolen cloak complete her attire. "May I come in?"
Noticing Meenah, Celeste extends a hand in greeting. "I'm Celeste. How do you do?"

As I walk to the shop I notice Celeste. My cheeks immediately glow pink and my eyes turn to the ground. I quickly move to the door and unlock it. I slowly open the door "Yes, please do come in what can we do for you." Looking back to Meenah then back to Celeste sorry though we don't have much time."

Celeste waits for the others to enter and smiles kindly at Bollaron. The woman replies somewhat airily to Aaron. "Oh, I've simply come to see where you stand in things, whether you're interested in Davked's offer for work, that kind of thing." The blonde woman fingers the glass top of one of Keygan's counters, under which locks of various grade are displayed. Looking up from her idle admiration of the locks, Celeste affects a steely glint in her eyes as she pinpoints each person in turn with her gaze. "Have you any questions? It's been quite a while since last we met."
Nyla eyes Celeste questioningly, but then smiles and says "We have been quite busy preparing to go down. If we find anything out, we will be sure to notify you right away. I am sorry that we can't do more than that, but you have my word that we are working on it as quickly as we can. Is there something you know that you're not telling us?"

Meenah very briefly but politely responded to Celeste's greetings, but since she doesn't know yet who the woman is, and doesn't know about Davked's offer, she simply listens to the conversation between her and the group without saying much unless asked personally.

Taking Celeste's hand and kissing the knuckles,...
My lovely Celeste, please refresh my memory as to what a woman such as yourself is doing in association with someone as grizzled as Darkved? I am sorry but my memory is poor sometimes and I can't remember the connection and I must admit I am not quick witted enough to come up with a plausible explanation on my own. Darkved is .....Well actually I do not remember how old he is perhaps you could refresh my memory on that as well. I do remember that he is wanting us to find his son and that by all accounts the son would be of an advanced age at this point. Some might even think that Darkved has lived beyond his natural years at this point. But I am getting off the subject...perhaps we could meet for a horse ride sometime and we could get to know each other better. I can easily arrange for some of the finest horses in the area and the ride through the country this time of year can be quite lovely. As for how we are fairing, we have made considerable progress in getting things ready, but you must understand that something as dangerous as travelling through the underground corridors in the darker reaches of the world must not be taken lightly and requires a good deal of preparation and readying of contingencies. Things are never as easy as run in get what you need and run out. We do assure you though that Darkved's request is at the foreront of our thoughts and we will find his son if we can.
