She also kept checking the two daggers she had hidden in the wide sleeves of her garment. I smiled at his nervousness. I had my longsword, but doing legwork as we were meant forgoing the armor and alot of the hardware we might want to take. I think it made Bynara feel a little naked.Our vessel wound to the north, away from the city center. It finally gained altitude and ran parallel to the river for a while. We could see Cliffside from this point and the dark shape of ships heading into port. The sky was dotted with other skycoaches and a few flying beasts. Lights from the Towers flickered from the darkness of the Lower City, and from the highest spires.After about 10 minutes we arrived at our first stop, the City Watch District Headquarters.It took us a while to find the records office, a dark little room in the lower part of the building. The office was manned by a rather small gnome who sat hunched over a ledger behind a high counter. Behind him through a door, we could see shelves and shelves stretching off into darkness. A single lamp of continual light illuminated the office. We entered. It was quiet save for the gnomes scribbling. We stopped at the counter, and he ignored us. His downcast expression soured. It didnt take keen observational skills to see this gnome didnt get many visitors, a state of affairs he was most satidfied with."Yes?" he said regally, not bothering to look up.I gave the little squint the particulars about Hennet. I wanted infromation regarding missing persons, recent deaths, suicides recently reported. I flashed my identification and my Medani credentials. The squint wasn't impressed. Bynara floated a few gold to grease the wheels of research. "One moment" the gnome said. He climbed off his stool and disappeared into the back. The moment lasted fifteen minutes. He finally emerged, hidden behind two large ledgers almost as tall as him. He plopped them on the counter, and then went back to his scribbling.Everything was organized so it didnt take long to find what we wanted. Hennet Onaan was not wanted for crimes in the Kingdom. No other governments were requesting his arrest. No one fiting his description had recently been murdered, committed suicide, or fallen off any bridges. So much for simple.We left, which made the gnome happy, he smiled for the first time. We decided to walk to Henent's place, which wasnt far. The walkways and bridges werent crowded this time of day and we made good time."So he's a good citizen," Bynara mused, "he stayed out of trouble.""Working with Morgrave University, I had thought maybe he had had a run in or two." I replied.We both agreed that of the types of work we could be doing, missing persons had to be the worse.</blockquote>
