Melania mentions about how nice Nanse-kam was and I decide that delivering a thermometer to the Abbey will be the first errand she runs for the Tavern. She drinks the Firewhiskey and I try not to chuckle as I watch her reaction. It's strong and now she knows it. She won't make the mistake of drinking it lightly again and I lay out details of the job for her.
Melania's happy as she says, "Everything sounds great, Verdandi. Better than I hoped for, actually." I smile and nod, "You can start today then. I'll show you around later and then set you up on my couch tonight. The Tavern's pretty easy to maneuver thorough and we also have a cellar I'll need to show you. Oh! and I need to get you a key. Don't let me forget," and I touch her hand briefly and smile.
I ask Verite if she knows any carpenters and she has that cute smirk again before she answers, "Sorta. My older brother is head Roustie. They do lotsa construction type stuff an ain't that busy right now. I c'n ask him to come see you 'bout a job." I beam at her and slide the Candied Apple cider to Melania as I say, "This calls for another toast. Send him over, Verite, and I'll make it worth his time. I'm so excited," and I laugh as I pull the Poisoned Apple mug my way and take a sip.
Melania says she has no questions and pauses before saying, "...What sort of crime has been happening around town at night? Nanse-kam warned me that it it wasn't safe to walk around at night? I kinda like going for walks at night." She's smiling but tense and I notice that Verite is too. I begin gently, trying to not scare her but not wanting to lie either. "Excolo's attracted a lot of unusual people lately and some of them are very dangerous. I'm not telling you that you shouldn't go walking at night but you should understand that you might attract the wrong kind of attention."
I gaze at her, hoping she'll take me seriously as I continue, "That wrong kind of attention could you get killed. Try not to go out alone at night. During the day is fine but we've had some murders that haven't been solved yet and the killer or killers are probably still around."
