*Catherine smiles and goes a very deep red.*
I'd like a dinner with him but would prefer so on my own grounds with me being new here. I'll be ready for nine o'clock though my flat maybe a bit of a mess.

*Catherine closes and locks the shop up. She finishes her cleaning quickly. Going up stairs she makes a small tea. Nothing specail and quickly tides up the flat. By half past eight she's almost washed out.*
Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
*Though with that she goes and quickly gets a quick wash and dressed in a simple white cotten dress.*

"My dear Catherine how wonderfully to see you again, and how appsalutyly gorges you look."

Why thank you Marcus. Though this is just a simple dress and doesn't not deserve the praise you have given it.
*Catherine holds the door open and lets Marcus in the closes and locks the door behind him. With a muttering of words a shimmering comes over the door.Catherine goes to lead Marcus up to the flat.*

*Marcus follows Catherine upstairs and galdy eats the simple meal she has preperadrd.*
*Over dinner he regales her with stories of his time in the Americas and other strange lands and some of the local legeneds and legendery figures.*
"Yes Sir Tregaurd Of Dunsenhelm, he's The Dungeon Master. The only man ever to reddem all 4 quest objects."
"The Sword Of truth, The Sheild Of Justice, The Crowning Glory & The Cup That Heals."
"Unfortunalty because of the rules of The Greater Game even now Tregaurd is foriden to enter the dungoen aside form in direst of emergencys."
"So the Powers That Be used to send young advetures from another time into the dungeon to do battle with The Opposition. First lead by Mogdred a Nechromancer and then and even since the end of the 4th phase and beging of the 5th by the Techno Sorcera Lord Fear."

*Catherine is amazed at the tales. Though she had heard of Lord Fear and knew that this was the area that he lived in.8
From what I've heard Lord Fear is a evil man. Until I meet him myself. If I ever do I will hold comment. I don't serve either side.

"My dear Girl the chance of you meeting Lord Fear are next to nil in these day and ages ever since the 8th sesson finished the Powers That Be have not sent in a Dungeoneer for nearly 10 years."
"Although you may still see his minnions lurking and skulcking about, if you know who to look for that is. The last publisied acount of Opposition allies is wofully out of date now I'm affriad."
"The last account has his minnions including Lissard, Raptor, Sly Hands, Bhal-Sheba, Grippa, Rhark & Tiny his Goblins & Hobgoblin, Honesty Bartram & Snapper-Jack."
"Of them only Sly Hands, The Goblins & Bhal-Sheba remain. Lissard has dissaperd, Raptor was around but has again since vanished, Bartram has moved on to pastures new, Snapper-Jack has also just dissaperd."
"His more recent allies have included his old Goblin Master Skarkill, who was himself killed in an incident in the market square and a very nasty and shifty Trader called Edward Deal."

"Ha I'm glad to say I never had the dis p,leshure of meeting that villaine."
"But as for his death, well it would do well to note that Old Ed Deal cheated the lynch mob dur to some sorcery. And also no body has ever been recoverd from the Dunnfalls or any of its esturys and fords."
"So I wouldn't count Edward Deal out just yet. He cheated death once so anything is possibal."

*Marcus laughs*
"Oh I'm affraid I'm not that much of a worker in that sence my dear."
"I more fund projects around town, building and construction ones mainly."
"I have a some shares in some of the local buissnesses."
"Although ocasionaly I do work for other people, hire my private gaurd out to them for crusades or Local Malicha work."
"Stuff like that you know."
"Although when I was in The Amaericas I did work as a Harbor master for about 4 years or so, but thats realy the closest I've come to manual labor."
"My Mother and father where very old fashioned Aristocrats, they shelterd me from work for a long time, till I left for the Americas. I came back recently when news reached me of my Fathers death."
"Not that I can say I'm realy sorry to see him go. The Old man was to much of a allie of Lord Fear for my taste blighted the family name, but still he was my father so may his soal rest in peace."
*there dose appers to be a genuin sadness in Marcus eyes when he talks of his father.*

I think I have some Scotch..though not much of a drinker for the stuff myself. I prefer wine or juice really.
*Catherine disappears for several minutes then returns with a glass of wine and a tumbler with some scotch in.*
Your in luck...but only just as that is from a old bottle my father gave me.
*Passes the tumbler of scotch over to Marcus then sits on the sofa.*
