An opportunity for some shopping! Tolo wearing THE VELVETEEN MASK's costume was great. And such a Dryddian move to overpay someone who needs it.

I can't believe Duncan slapped Vinh. I almost expected them to start rolling for initiative -- and then they did, upon getting seated for dinner! Honestly, dining in Temprus Mallory's household is more stressful than some combats.

The table settings were just...wow. A dinnerware puzzle indeed. If Duncan preferred not to poison guests, there was definitely a better way to go about it! I would've had no idea how to use the various utensils and on what components of each course. (The bonker, lol.)

I didn't think Asher's appeal about her sister to work...but family ties (usually nieces, heh) seem to be a sympathetic motivation. Finding the Patriar's son works well with their mission and gives them official blessing to pursue the Future.

And yes, the displacer kitties playing with Olred were adorable. :)
