"You said you wanted to assist me, or something to that effect," he said after a sip.

"You said it was de proper ting, non? I have found myself many a ting to keep busy with dese past few days, mais dey are personal projects; not ones which will endear me to de freehold. It has been long enough dat I sulk in my room, alone. Non?"

"I make no judgments on how you choose to spend your personal time," he replied.

"Biblos will be reborn in time, but if you seek to help the Freehold then there may be a task or two available for someone of means and skill. Are you adverse to dealing with goblins?"

"Words are often useless with goblins, and their demands can be onerous... all I need is for ye to be a courier with a particular goblin I have had previous relations with.

[Samantha Hayne]

"In fact I do," he said rising to his feet and looking around the book shelves.

He smiles and says, "Here it is... the broken heart of a child." He hands her a small glass jar with a porcelain facsimile of a human heart. He added, "I don;t wish to hurry you but it would be advantageous to have this done before [Date in two days time]."

[Samantha Hayne]

"I may have business to attend today," she said, taking glass jar in hand with a curious eye, "but I shall see it done by the end of tomorrow regardless."
