Mal listens absent mindedly as Eveiret explains the history of the watch fire and spends most of the time gazing down the cleavage of a beautiful red haired lady who is talking to a friend nearby.

But when Eveiret starts talking about the Families, Mal turns back his attention on the Dragoman.

-''Yeah, so these are the founding fathers. Quirinus is the reigning family while the Caelinuses control the watch and perhaps the army. But what about the Viminalius, Aventinius and Esquilinius families? How much weight do they carry around here?

A short while later, Kaiambus joins Mal Malenkirk

"I'm sure you won't mind my travelling to an inn with you." says Kaiambus

-''Especially if you chip in to pay the Dragoman!''

Mal says it so matter of factly that it's freakishly hard to determine if he's serious or not. As Kaiaumbus joins the small group, Eveiret talks to the newcomer in a way that lead Mal to believe they know each other.

-''My, twice in a day. So where did you two meet?''

Yunalesca watches with slight curiosity... and almost speaks but holds her tongue when Mal switches gears... and listens intently...

"Why is the standing of different families so important? I just don't understand all the pomp and glamour attached to soemthing as small as a name... big city folk are strange..." she says aloud... Valis growls in acknowledgement...

Yunalesca continues to walk amidst onlookers and gawkers...

Mal smiles to Yunalesca.

-''Yula, you really need to be escorted! You are dangerously naive. The standing of these families is important to them. And given their power, believe me: they can make it very important to us.''

Well, that was a real trip for biscuits.

Kaiambus grins a curt grin at Mal, hopefully communicating that he has no clue who the Dragoman is or how they met. He pops a couple gold coins out of his pocket, and tosses them to Mal.

"I trust that should cover what you've already paid?"

Conditional: Should the Dragoman see this and make any sort of noise looking for more money, Kaiambus will toss him a gold coin as well, saying

"If you can spare a moment when we get to the inn, I'd like to speak to you for a bit. You will be well compensated for your time and information."

Eveiret smiles at Mal's explanation of the Five Families.

"Ahh, if it were only that simple... Each of the Five Families is equal in standing. As the statues indicate, all support each other, and the lack of one would cause the whole to fall..." Here he pauses to glance back at the watchfire, a slightly wry expression on his face. "Well, that is the theory anyway... " He glances back at the group. "The position of Primus is bestowed upon a Family for a 20 year term by the Advisory Council. The head of that Family is then made Primus. He then bestows the titles of Marshal on the heads of the remaining four Families. Presently, it stands as follows: Marcus Aventinius is Marshal of the Guard, Severus Viminalius is Marshal of the Coin, Julia Caelianus is Marshal of the Watch, and Gregory Esquilinius is Marshal of Entertainments." He pauses a moment and watches the group carefully. "To put it simply, Malenkirk, any one of these people carries enough to crush you like an insect if they have mind to--even that harmless sounding Marshal of Entertainments..."

Eveiret glances at Kaiambus and whispers to him. "You keep trying to attract my attention. When we get to the Gargoyle, I'll need to talk to you. We have much to discuss..."

The captain scowls at Kelvin's question. "Look, sir, why don't you just hire a dragoman? I'm a watch captain, not a guide..."

He listens warily to Sirath's explanation. After casting a glance at Valentius, he nods, and lets him through. The entire watch glances at the Quaesteri with open dislike and even fear. But they let him pass.

To Eveiret:

''Crush me like a bug? Ain't we melodramatic. I just asked you about their standing, not which family was on vermin control duties.''

To Kaiambus as he gives Mal a couple of gold piece:

Mal's eyes widen slightly as he sees the coins.

-''Huh, well yes. It does cover it.

Then he discreetly pockets the two gold piece.

Eveiret makes a slight bow. "I'm simply saying, sir, that all of the Five Families are powerful. At the moment, Quirinius is a bit more powerful than the others, but even they are not overwhelmingly so..." He frowns at this. "Of course, the Regent is another story..."
