[QUOTE="Telsar, post: 1653123, member: 18837"] While everyone discusses leaving town, even though most have been here less than 24 hours, Algernon pulls out a vial, opens it, walks over to the mutilated celestial corpse, and with one hand grabs a handful of tissue, squeezing blood from it into his empty vial. He wipes his hand on one of Brie’s couches, then looks around and says, “Well, since everyone was grabbing souvenirs, I might find a use for this. And I should be off, except, I guess I’m due a share of that money; I do believe the celestial fool did slightly feel my dagger when I hit him. But if you will all tell Brie that I expect my next few visits to be free-of-charge, I think the excitement was payment enough.” He turns to Lydia and says, “Unless of course you’re still working here when I come around again; I’d think time spent with you should always cost me something, and yet would always be worth the price. I’m sure we’ll see each other again someday.” He smiles at Lydia, bows slightly, and turns and leaves through the front doors. Meanwhile, Accalon tries to console Valasia, but it takes a little while before she can be understood. Then she says, “She said… she said it didn’t matter if anyone recognized me. If they were a client here, they… they wouldn’t say anything. But that man wasn’t a client, was he? By Corellon, why didn’t I just do what she said. She’s been so good to me. She’s right… I’m stupid.
