It was before he got employed by the Baron, when he was simply an helper for his uncle. He was wondering why the Baron had asked him to come. Generally, the Baron didn't ask for any one in particular. His uncle used to send his second. He had never expected to recieve this offer. The offer that finally got him in the situation of yesterday. But he was aware of the risk when he accepted the job.It wasn't the time to use the emrchant entrence. He used to come that way only to deliver a written message. He use to send some tindertwigs to the Baron once in a while. It was a nice way to pratice his skills, provide the Baron with some cheap ressources, as he gives them at teh cost to produce it, and also was perfect to pass a writtent message when needed. And with a small trap in it, someone unaware would most likely burned the pack ebfore he even know there was a meesage hidden in the box. That was normal for a tindertwig box if badly manipulated, and it bring enough attention that the person who want ot intercept the message needed to steal the box, which was a bit harder.But he needed to see the Baron itself, so he will need to pass by the servant gate, as he is use to do. Officialy, he was an helper at the different hunting ground, even if he knew that many rumors was now running on him. After many years of work under the Baron, people who was always near to him could be hardly fooled. but his status had officially never changed. But today, officialy, he was supposed to be in Elk River, not Stalagmite. For most, he would only be out of town for the Baron's service, and to a few persons, he was at Devil's Hand. He needed for the moment to let the people think that......or do I want? If I show up in front of everyone, I could have the first reaction of everyone. Someone might have a reaction that would allow me to have a clue on who was knowing I was at Devil's Hand and that i should be coming back. But that mean teh news of my coming must not be spread among the servant. I hope the Wall will be there.The Wall was one of the rare guards Venial was trusting. Today, he had doubt, but if he had to choose, he would rather fall on the Wall than any other guards at the Gate. The Wall is an aster who is working almost every day at the Gate. He was one of the best to detect hidden object on a person. Because both was an Aster, they had a good relation between each other, and the Baron had taken care of giving him some advantages to let pass more easily a few people who needed discretion. He knew how to keep his mouth shut. And he always have doubt he would be an informant to anyone except the Baron. It is that kind of discretion he needed.</blockquote>
