"Hi." He smiled. "Have a seat; do you want anything to drink? These are a couple of my friends--Helge and Viol. Roddy couldn't make it today."

“Hello.” She offered a polite smile and nod to both of Tomhas’s companions and sat down. “I’m Ky.”

"So we've heard." Helge nodded to her. "Good to meet you, missy." "Do you need anything?" Tomhas asked again. "Food, water, anything like that? How'd it go with Myna?"

“You as well.” She nodded to her, then glanced at Tomhas. “Um… maybe some water?” Her stomach was still churning from anxiety. “And it went fine.”

He nodded, waving a waiter over. "Some water, please?" "Yessir." The waiter strode off. Tomhas rested his arms on the table, sipping at his ale. "Good, good. What's the plan now? Are we getting you that armor?"

“Um… yes?” She settled in a bit more, glancing around. “… She also suggested I get something to… tie the… thing… around my neck. Instead of keeping it in my pocket.”

"Definitely wise. We've got ribbons and thongs back home, we can find you a good one." He looked between Helge and Viol. "I'd love go stay and chat, you two, but I've got a prior engagement, I'm afraid. It was really good to see you, though." "You as well." The three of them stood, and Helge and Tomhas hugged tightly while Viol only went in for a one-armed embrace.

Ky stood up as well, standing a polite distance away. So much for the water. Oh well.

"We'll take the water with us," he said as it arrived, smiling awkwardly and letting go of his friends. "I'm sorry about Roddy." "Mm." Viol sat back down, and Helge glanced at her worriedly.

Ky glanced between them, murmuring her thanks to the waiter as he handed her the water.

Tomhas gave the waiter a hefty sum. "For the tankard," he explained, then headed for the door. "Leaving already, Tom?" one of the women with the green armbands asked with a frown. Tomhas gave her a little wave and picked up the pace.

Tom? Ky glanced between them, confused, but followed closely behind. Were the girls…? She shook her head slightly. Why would one of those kinds of girls know her father? She probably was wrong about what the ribbons meant.

Tomhas exited the tavern, donning his cloak and gloves. "Right. The armory, then."

He strode off in the direction of the armory, saying nothing else.
