Hinjo grins at the thought of Dogrynn flirting.
"Its a better plan than anything I can think up," he says quietly, once he has his mirth under control.
"Someone should stay here as well, keep an eye on the one in the corner. Don't want any trouble coming unexpectedly from that direction."

Arcata's eyes widen slightly, but she manages to emit a light laugh and playfully hit Hinjo on the shoulder. "Don't be mean and try to fluster her like that. She's been very nice." She grins and says in a stage whisper to the girl, "I think he likes you."
Then, dusting off her hands she adds, "I think we're done here for now," she says brightly. "I'll settle the tab...I hope you accept tips; the service was wonderful." She shakes out more than enough money to settle accounts and gives it to the server.
As the money jingles, she meets the barmaid's eyes and says in a quiet, almost-whisper in which her lips barely move, "Town square. Tonight."
She waits for a sign of recognition and agreement before saying or doing anything else.

The rest should be thankful Dogrynn didn't actually get the chance to hit on the barmaid as it might've gotten them all kicked out rather than a meeting arranged. Having seen the look Arcata gave him for asking for another rum earlier he keeps his mouth mostly shut (ie he continues to talk about completely innane things) until they are all ready to leave. He'll not stay behind, wanting to be where he thinks the action is going to be.

The party spends some more time then head out to catch what sleep they can before meeting the barmaid at the dock's market square in the morning.
The broad lane leading from the docks to old town is the path of commercial products offloaded from ships heading into the better parts of the city. Wide enough for large cargo to be transported it is a stark contrast to the twisted alleys and narrow streets common to the rest of the docks. Entrepreneurs long ago learned to set up temporary stalls along this route of commerce in the city to get first crack at the goods and customers coming off the many ships. Merchants off the boats learned to set up their own stalls along the lane if they did not have buyers previously lined up. By decree of the Captain's Council the Lane must be kept clear to allow goods to flow into Old Town. Therefore all merchant stalls here are taken down each night lest the Watch pull them down and confiscate left over goods. Every morning local merchants set up their stalls, then later in the day those fresh from boats move in after having berthed in the harbor under the light of day.
Carts, tents, donkey pulled conveyances move about the Lane in the early morning light, attempting to secure good positions for their business of the day. At the north end of the broad lane the lane opens out into a full market square at the walled entrance to Old town. Short otterkin peddlers lay out crafts they claim are made by various undersea folk, there are foodstands, elven purveyors of what they claim are magical trinkets, a dwarf selling blades, people manning silk and cloth stands, clothes shops, artwork, tattoo tents.
It is early for customers, mostly the varied shopkeepers and streethawkers are setting up in the morning, only the food vendors and those selling alleged hangover cures do more than light business before the rush of commerce that the later day brings.
The red-haired Jinny can be found loitering near a cloth merchant's stall, a large tent with a donkey and cart behind it.

Arcata tries to catch Dogrynn's arm by looping her own through it, as a rather jealous lady friend might.
"A moment, dear," she says to him, her tone a bit strained. "I need some new fabric. It will only take a moment."
She then escorts him to the cart and asks Jinny, "Good evening, is this cart yours? Perhaps we have some business to share?"
