1899 - The Hidden Hands of the Aether
Esther:
Josie picks up the gentleman's bowl. She takes another good look at his face, making sure she will remember him. She takes the dirty dishes to the kitchen, then walks up to the bar and gestures to Albert she needs a water and Hugo's regular.
Klear:
"Well, they're beautiful," Hugo continues in the conversation. "Beautiful, but dangerous. But I'm sure there must be a way to make them safe for indoor use, and not just by limiting their potency... there's a lot of potential in this line of research, I assure you.
LuckyDee:
As Josie places the order with Albert, he looks over to the table to see Hugo flaunting his showman routine and grins. "I think we'll have another bunk in the dormitory filled tonight," he says as he hands josie a glass of water and a mug of goat milk. "I wasn't too sure about him at first, but a chat with Mr. Muscles over there always makes them show their true colours, whether they like it or not." With a vague smile on his face, he stares into space for a couple of seconds, then turns to Josie as if he just remembered something. "What do you think about him, though?"
Jonathan meanwhile continues "Indubitably. And with your day job here, do you run into a lot of trouble? You seem a bit out of place, if you don't mind me saying so. The guests look decent enough, and with an establishment like this I'll bet both the Guild and the long arm of the law are extra careful and diligent when it comes to protecting it and its reputation...?"
Klear:
"Ha! It's the people who look the most innocent that are usually causing trouble, Hugo replies. Why, we've had a gentleman trying to leave without paying just a moment ago. You must have seen him. You never would have guessed... but I was vigilant and he won't try that again any time soon, I bet.
Esther:
Josie looks at Albert and shrugs her shoulders as to say she is not sure. She makes the gesture for "okay" and then looks puzzeled and makes the gesture for "secrets". She then points at herself and places a finger under her eye to indicate that she will keep an eye on him. Then she takes the drinks over to the table.
