*A barbarian messenger walks in and hands a note to bombour then leaves*

*The note, to be posted or read reads as follows*

*the note is marked with his seal*

*Galen enters the Inn and announces*

"A round for everybody, on the house!"

*he steps up to the bar and awaits a drink*

*Looks up from her books, and smiles. Closes them, and downs the last of what she was sipping. Then heads up to the bar with her now empty cup*

Why thank you Thane Galen.

*waits for Bomber *

Bombour begins filling glasses for the multitude of thirsty. Then he fill his own with something from under the bar.

"A toast.
I'd rather drink with you lot of people,
than with the finest people in the world."

Smiling he drinks.

"In light of Sir Marcus' generous offer of the bank, shall we add it to the long list of services that the Gromm's Head Drinking Establishment and Residence Hall. Galen?"

Drinks and waits for a response.

*Balthazar goes outside to see if he can catch up to the messenger when he returns he raises his glass*

To Bombour and his potables
To the Thane and his generosity

Balthazar, what is your rank in Mandalor?

*Balthazar gives a slight smile to Nyrhtak*

I am Head of the Midway chapter of House Mandalor. Given the position by the Baron Magistrate of House Mandalor at the conclusion of your uncle's trial. Much to my own surprise might I add, I made a few inquiries about joining the house, one of which was to Dimack actually just before the trial and 2 hours later I found myself head of a house that I had not even been a member of.*Laughs slightly* I do not laugh at your uncle's misfortune in this matter but my own.

*smiles slightly*

That would be the *Baron Collector* of House Mandalor, as we Magistrates have nothing to do with your house....

Ok, so someone said the note read that Marcus was Head of Houde Mandalor.

What is a Houde? or did he mean the Horde of Mandalor?

*regards Kathryn*
Yeah just another reason why suddenly of late I feel like a small fish on a big hook.

*regards Nyrhtak laughing uproariously*
I do believe that he did mean House Mandalor but as he has not been in town I do not believe that he has heard this news. And as far as any horde of Mandalor there be not any such as far as I am aware, if there is praytell let me know where it may be found.

*thoughtfully considers Balthazar's comment about fish*

Yes, I'd say that's quite a good comparison... Either that, or a target waiting for an arrow...

*shivers*
*mutters*horde of taxmen....
*shivers*

*Galen looks up from his drink*

"Good idea Bombour. I'll have another drink."

*he looks at Balthazar, opens his mouth as if to say something, stops and smiles*

"I will keep my comments to my self. I'm sure you will live a long and merry life in House Mandalor"

*turns, downs his drink and awaits his next*

*The door to the Inn swings open and in a flash Shax is running inside. He is as naked as the day he was hatched as he continues on his way through the Inn and out the back door.*
WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!



*A few minutes later the front door of the Inn reopens and in walks a fully clothed Shax Torus*
Wow, its been way too long! Bombour, I think that I am gonna be needing a drink. It has been many moons since my last, and I fear a mutiny in my own body.*He sits down next to Galen*
Hey buddy, hows business?

**Mary enters the Inn and shakes small droptlets of rain from her hat. She looks up at the crowd and smiles wryly.**

Who's buying drinks? I sure am thirsty.

*She takes off the cloak she is wearing and produces a bundle wrapped in burlap. She smooths the package lightly and looks up for Kathryn.*

You've got to see the material I have just been shopping for. It's gorgeous. It will be so nice to have lovely things to wear again. Although it's been ages since silks have crossed my path. Proper silk clothing, not this filmy mish mash that the Sensualists Guild traipses around in. Afterall, I'm not a harlot...I only play one when the man..er mood is right!!!

**She caresses the package as only a woman who has had a great day shopping would**
