“Great place,” the adventuress said with satisfaction as the couple left the “Drowned Maiden,” “but they’re really lacking in the booze department.”
“Yeah, the food was amazing,” agreed Guyon, “but we’d go broke eating here every day.”
“We have a kitchen in our room. You can cook.”
“Me?!
“Well, I could, of course…”
“No, you couldn’t,” Guyon quickly interrupted.
“Oh, come on, that omelet was almost edible.”
“We almost burned the hotel down, actually.”
“Well, not the whole thing, just the curtains and a couple of chairs…”
“I. Will. Cook.”
“That’s my girl,” Beata patted Guyon on the head, to which he just rolled his eyes.
The couple strolled along the promenade.
“I was thinking,” the adventuress said, carefully studying the map, “should we pay our artist a visit? It’s strange, Her Majesty mentioned the 11th district, but I don’t see it on the map…”
“Maybe because you’re holding it upside down?” Guyon pointed out.
Beata scoffed and turned the map around.
“Nope, still don’t see it. Oh well. We need to walk to the mansion, but it’s better to do it in the evening, even at night. For now, we need to figure out what else we can do.”
“Well, I don’t know… Earn money through honest work, for example?”
“If you need to, then you go ahead and earn it.”
“Are you serious?”
“Yeah. Just remember, at any moment, I might need you as a man. Especially at night.”
“I’ll keep that in mind and ask not to put me on night shifts. I’ll say that I have a demanding mistress waiting for me at home, who needs someone to keep her warm on long nights…”
Beata made an unintelligible sound, but quickly regained her composure. She didn’t even blush!
“Yeah, something like that. Or just keep me informed so I can include your availability in my plans. So, go to work, the sun is still high. And I’m going to go relax. I hope they haven’t turned off the hot water at the ‘Hearth’…”
Beata heads to base, while Guyon walks to the Guild of Workers of the Empire.
