I never worked the Back,” answers Kam.Madam makes her entrance. “Leon, how good to see you.” She says to Kam. She has on her professional smile, but her eyes are cloudy. “I knew that you would return. So, tell me what brings you back to me.”“I’m here to make you a proposition.” Kam responds.“Tsk, that old line, surely you can do better than that. After all, your mother was one of our finest ‘performers’. She was a significant asset to 'The Relief'. You had the potential for even greater success.” She tweaks his nose on the last comment.“I think success may have come looking for me." he says as he rubs his nose. "My friend here is called Model, and he makes amazing sculptures. With his puppets, and my storytelling, I think we could make a name for ourselves. Unfortunately we have run into a few problems.”“Oh really?” she says with little surprise.“Well we need a storefront, and supplies, and some help with working through the red tape. In short we need a sponsor.”“And what do I get if it doesn’t work?” she asks, her eyes on Kam.Before Kam can answer, Model makes a sound similar to a throat clearing, yet also a bit like a rusty hinge. Model opens the case he is carrying and takes out one of his puppets. It is a miniature warforged wearing a simple brown cloak. On its hip is a scimitar, the left hand holds a stout walking stick, the right hand holds a tiny red velvet pouch.“Oh my, that is impressive work,” she says.“Unfortunately it took him several months to make that because he lacks the proper tools.” Kam mentions as she continues to gaze at the puppet.“i, call this one, Warforged Traveler.” Model informs her, “i would, like you to have it.”“So if I invest in this crazy scheme I get to keep the puppet, is that it?” she asks with a heavy tone.“no, you may keep it either way, think of it as a Gift.” She gives Model a sharp look, and then turns on Kam, “Did you tell him to do that?”Kam looks equally shocked, “I swear I didn’t know.”Madam assesses Model, really considering him for the first time. “I never could resist a challenge. I’m in.”</blockquote>
