[QUOTE="Dr Simon, post: 5439750, member: 21938"] The two men become agitated when Hans walks away across the square, with one of them repeating the ear-scratching motion in an ever-exagerrated effect. Suddenly they see something else across the square and step into the crowd. By the time Hans is ensconced in the Cat and Fiddle, the men are nowhere to be seen, nor is there anything to suggest who or what they saw. Meanwhile, as Garold and the dwarves follow on behind, they are accosted by the door of the Cat and Fiddle by a man with a huge beard overlying a huge belly. [COLOR="YellowGreen"]"Master Garold!"[/COLOR] he exclaims. [COLOR="YellowGreen"]"What a pleasant surprise!"[/COLOR] [sblock=Hans] The men were obviously trying to give some kind of signal, but it isn't one that Hans recognises. [/sblock] [sblock=Garold] This is Josef Quartjin, a former retainer of your father. He left a couple of years ago to fulfill a long-held dream of buying a boat and travelling the waterways of the Empire. He is an old friend, and still drops by your father's estate from time to time when his travels on his barge, the Berebeli, take him there.
