Blaise smiles as he answers, “It sounds like an exciting evening, madame.”
He places a hand on the small of her back as he leads her towards where he left Etienne. Recognizing that they were in the open air, Blaise continued to whisper while speaking in vague terms, “However, the reason you found me as you did was that I hoped to keep a low profile this evening. The man who arranged for the circumstances of our mutual goal is someone that I have a keen interest in understanding and ideally not upsetting. If you simply want to have a conversation like myself, then I’m hopeful that we can accomplish that easily enough without much complication. If you are set on changing the circumstances before the morning, we’ll need quite the plan and somewhere to point the blame away from us. That’s a lot to cover in an evening. Luckily for you, I didn’t set out alone.”
They turn a corner to see Etienne waiting, “Madame Sophie, allow me to introduce my comrade, Etienne. Etienne, it seems fate has given us an ally for our little excursion. Madame Sophie, here, shares a mutual goal. It is possible that we may need to take a few moments to acquaint ourselves with one another and privately discuss our plans for the evening. Would you happen to know of a place where we could talk?”

With tongue firmly planted in her cheek, the Dutch dwarven proprietress raises her brows at Jacques. "Oh her? Be thankful you've found her in a pleasant mood. She has a bad reputation, this one. Fair, but don't cross her. A real pirate's pirate, and I mean that quite literally, meneer (Mr) Jacques. Blackbeard's own daughter. Wanted twice over by the Viceroyalty of New Spain. Bestowed with the Devil's own luck." Ulsta tops off everyone's ales, before resting the pitcher on her hip with a wry smile, "That there is Katerina del Corazón. And she owes me 5 florions, shilling, ecús, or reales (silvers), take her pick."[/SECTION]
Sophie Trémiere remains as courteous as she does inscrutable. "Un plaisir Monsieur," she gives a nod to Etienne and a slight bend of her knees, the sort of informal curtsy that proper ladies used in the Caribbean. "Oh, that wasn't my friend, Monsieur. Simply a woman on her way to mass and our paths chanced to cross," she adds in a reassuring tone, catching the way Etienne's eyes followed the other woman into the church.
