Pursuit of the Sun 1.2

Cassius's latest post:

-- First, tell me more about your lands, Baron. Castles, vassals, movable property, and other mundane aspects of life.

- Former lands. It's not a very happy story. After departing for the Void, my father left our lands in a rather poor state. The castles were sold during his lifetime, the serfs and vassals scattered, the estate fell into disrepair, and the treasury was almost empty. I was too young and foolish to fix anything. I only had the sense not to make things worse. Later, as I grew older, I began to gradually restore the former glory. My beloved helped me with this. However... it was not meant to be. Everything burned to the ground, including her," - although Cassius embellished the story, the thoughts of Laura added an emotional component to his speech, making the story much more believable. - And now I am here. A miraculously surviving wanderer, albeit of noble birth.

The performance was indeed quite good.
Returning to her seat, the alchemist suddenly remembered that she sometimes had to prepare a remedy for cockroaches because clients suffering from them categorically refused to use spiders and other natural enemies of these insects. I wonder what this cockroach in armor would prefer - to be eaten or poisoned?

Gauthier returns to the table.
-- My brother told me everything. Imagine, almost last! Did he think I would abandon him? Or that I would refuse the most daring venture since the Empire? Pfft. Of course, I will go on the expedition.

- I see... What are the plans for now? Are we just sitting here and watching?

-- Or one of us can check out the brothel... -- Arno pondered. It is unlikely, but possible, that people are being lured from there as well. -- Do you know anyone there?

Hargen can, in principle, leave the next day.

- Such an offer from you is worth a lot. I'm not in a hurry," he nods. - That would be wonderful.

-- Feel free to ask. There are too few musicians in this world to let talent go to waste.
-- I swear, he has a grudge against me," Amadeo, who finally returned his lute, returns to the orchestra, as usual, with a goblet in his hand. -- I just don't understand why. But let's give the scoundrel credit - he has a good ear. Okay, let's get back to the program. Gunnlaug, are you ready?
-- Like, f***ing never. Let them start crying.
