*Addis' eye twitches as he hears where Callimpsest is. Back there, eh? Great, what did I do to anger you, my Queen? I could probably take them if I need to, but I rather not waste time and energy.*
"When does he usually set up his stall?"

*Though Ann-Marie seemed distracted drawing up the map , she kept her gaze on the stranger as often as possible, catching the sight of the other customer discussing more together but unable to hear exactly what was said over the din of the inn, though she had a feeling she knew what it would be about. *
*She glanced down at the sketching a moment waiting for the ink to dry then putting the quill and the ink back under the bar, she picked up the piece of parchment once sure the ink was dry enough not to smudge and distort she returned to Addis table. sliding the map onto the table gently in front of him.*
*She stood there in silence as she waited for the second customer to speak again about what she could only assume would be about Callimpest once again. *
*The map itself was kept simple and as clear as possible on the route of the city and then which roads to follow to find the boarding school , the roads named as were any streets so he would know he was going int he right direction should he follow the map. though she began to wonder where Raggie had got to with the drink of water.*

*Flaccus leaned close to Dreslin, so only he would hear.* "And what if I was a creature spawned from darkness?" *There is a pause. Dreslin looks startled - but only for the merest fraction of a second. He smiles benignly.* Then I'd wonder why in the Underworld you were spending so much of your time on a sleepy elf from far away.

"When does he usually set up his stall?"
Nicholas Paul Clark: No set time, from what I can tell. In a town where not all that many folk can read, the trade of a bookseller is an erratic one, hence he keeps erratic trading hours. Of course, if you wait here long enough, you'll likely catch him when he returns here to sleep. But by that time he'd perhaps be too tired to offer you his services.

"Meh, people have a hard time reading from where I come from. I guess I'll have to look for him after I attend to some business." *Addis looked at the map Ann had put on the table. I wonder if this is accurate. He then looked at Ann.* "Thank you, thank you very much. Now hopefully I can stop getting lost here and find where I am going." *Addis chuckled a bit. He then fished in a pocket on his robe and pulled out some coins.* "Please, keep some for yourself for being such a good help, and give this gentleman a drink." *Addis then gave a bow, pocketed the map, and walked over to Flaccus' table.* "I am sorry to keep you waiting, Dreslin. I had to acquire a map first. Please, follow me, we can talk along the way. I just wonder if you've learned anything new about this realm, and I want to know more about you, if it isn't to much to ask." *With that, Addis walks out the door and follows the map, only occasionally pulling it out to make sure he isn't lost.* [OOC: Assuming the map is accurate, Addis will arrive at the School Gates. So....Continued in "Prelude to War."]

I have just acquired a map. Moving now, just follow me.
Right.
*Flaccus gave a wicked smile, showing rows of teeth.*
"Honestly, I really don't know. Ask Grimms, he paid me to watch his arse. But really, if I was a creature of darkness, what would you do?"
*Flaccus was about to continue, bu then Addis walked over, said what he had to say, and then left. Flaccus had a blank expression on his face. He then snapped out of it, said a curse, and began to walk away. He stopped before exiting.*
"Coming?"

*She asked Ann.*
"I know i was a bit long with the water but i spilled the first one and had to get another."
*Notices Ann looking after the departing group.*
"Whats up Ann??"

*Ann turns her gaze to Raggie a moment shaking her head slightly.*Nothing serious I am sure Raggie, just curiosity is all.
*She turns her gaze to the customer after she picks up the coins left on the table.*
Well Sir what drink may I get you?

*Raggie watches Ann, then looks back at the empty table and then at the door where 'Baron Grimmes' and his party left by. She then shrugs her shoulders and starts to walk back to the bar with the glass of water.*
"Hey cute cheeks how bout a little services?"
*A slightly drunk patron calls out as she pass between his table and the table of the man Ann is serving, and to emphersise his point he reches out and pinches Raggie's behind.*
"EEEEK!!!!!!"
*Raggie yells in shock. She spins round to slap the man. But as she dose the glass of water is still in her other hand and its contences gose sailing out of the glass and poor Ann-Maire gets an impromptue bath.*

*Her gaze on the customer Ann Marie does not see what is going ob but manages to turn around just as Raggie goes eeek, receiving a fair bit of the water in her face and over her top. Though her clothing was not revealing like the other bar maids the clothing instantly clung to the damp skin As she turned back tot he customer smiling faintly.*You will have to excuse me, I will have Raggie get you your drink Sir.
*As she passes by Raggie and the man she smiles to the man it is warm yet with a slight edge in her eyes and her voice.*
If you will excuse me, I need a word with my collegue , I suggest you take a seat and I will send someone over to serve you.
*Her empty arm reaches out and grabs Raggies arm gently though firmly just above the wrist and pulls her towards the bar.*
I think your too nervous to be working in front, from now on you stay behind the bar and deal with the customers there.
Well after you have served that gentleman his drink.
*She points over to Nick.*

*Raggie looks at Ann as she grabs her arm and notices she's wet and then see's the glass she has in her other hand, once filled with water is now empty and quickly realises whats happned.*
"Oh dear! Oh Ann i'm so sorry it was an accident."
*Blushes deeply and looks awkwardly at her feet.*

I know it was but you can not go soaking every customer we have especially if your handling some of the more expensive drinks. I am just grateful it was full of water rather than any of the meads we have.
*She takes the empty glass from Raggie.*
Now go see what that gentleman would like to drink while I at least dry my face off. Then I will show you any thing you do not know about how working behind the bar works and then I will go and get changed into some drier clothes.

*Nods her head sheepishly.*
"Ok..thanks Ann."
*Gets a little mischevious smile on her face.*
"Although for once its nice to see you end up all wet...normaly i'm the one who ends up being the butt of the joke."

To say a butt of a joke suggests you did it on purpose Raggie and that is going to get you working on the other side of this bar in a shorter dress than you are already in.
*She smiles* Now go and see what drink the man wants before I decide to turn that dress into nothing but a strip of fabric.

[OOC: Continued from Brick or Treat?] *Entering the inn, Callimpsest heads for the stairs. As he does so, landlord Dal Marx calls him over, and tells him that someone has handed in a room key that might be his.* [OOC: It was stolen then abandoned by Drago Lestrade in Back In Tom's Room.] Yes, yes it's mine, I recognise the teeth. I must have dropped it. Thank you. *Callimpsest retrieves his net from his room, and is back downstairs in the reception area in no time at all. He stands and waits.*
