We pick up at the Inn - where Zintris is trying to wrap their head around these two strangers saying they know her.
 
Molly explains the consecration process to Zintris. They aren't qualified to help with the meditation process of anemisis. That perhaps heading back to the Dynasty will allow them to recall their previous lives.
 
Zintris asked what happened to Melech's mother.
 
Marya gives a brief explanation of how the preceding events went down - someone offended a family who had enough connections to hire an assassin.
 
Marya says since Zintris is a family friend, they should be interested in helping take the Pahla's down. Komaria should want to help too, as Zintris could be in danger working with them.
 
Vera says that's actually why Komaria is here - they already had goals of taking down the Pahla's. Komaria says she was hired by Nible? family.
 
Zintris says the whole story is TOO good, and they remain suspicious.
 
Molly makes remarks on Zintris being so... weak looking. She used to be able to cleave someone in half with one swing and now.... Molly hands Zintris a sword and asks if she can even wield it. Zintris gives a swing and it's easily blocked. Molly then leaves - stopping to tell Komaria to keep the rest of the group out of trouble.
 
Komaria says "I just came here to cause a ruckus, and I've been ruckussed."

In the meantime - Seb is keeping watch at the Lavant's.
He sees a man in clothing that is a little too nice for the area and stands out.
 
Seb waits for the person to turn away and slips up behind him unseen. At his side, Seb says "Might not want to walk around here alone - bit rough here." He questions the gentleman about his interest in Melech's family. While initially denying, he quickly folds and says he's there by requst of the Pahla's. He claims no knowledge of the hit - Seb retorts "Now you do."
 
The Lord asked him to come out. Seb says he can return with GOOD NEWS - they have definitely sent a message.
