The young man beamed reassuringly at Froud and removed a small orb from his pocket. "Yes, coaxing him out would be an excellent idea. I write for the Tidings, you see, and I would love to get the, inside scoop as they say on this whole case. I'd be quite grateful for any help you'd be able to provide."
At this point, Forge emerges from the back and mutters an apology.
"Ah, excellent. I may get a story after all!"

Piper watches the young elven bard with an unreadable expression before continuing. "You will be part of an epic achievement, the likes of which will be sung by the musicians for ages to come," she tells Aery. "Of course, if that is unacceptable, what if I were to give you part ownership of the place? Would that be reasonable, friend?"

"Am I so transparent?" Ain replies with a coy grin and a chuckle. "I really do mean to discuss other matters of importance with you - masquerades, gentlemen's sports, hunting, gossiping about the courts - but I am just as interested in passing my exams this year." He lifts his wineglass and sips gingerly, his piercing grey eyes locked on her face. "I'm quite pleased that you have said yes. If I owe you a boon, name it."
