Sam shakes his head and says, "It was very quiet. No one came in, but we did get a chance to do some tidying up."
He then looks up at the darkening sky and adds, "I should probably be getting on. I don't want to miss dinner. I should be able to come back in the morning for a couple of hours, if that's alright with you. But I've got classes in the afternoon tomorrow, so I can't be available then."

Guilliame says goodbye to Sam and then enters the shop to find Naomi looking at the results of the afternoon's work. Guilliame can see that the shop is a lot cleaner and better organised than it has been in a long time.
"Look at what Sam and I have achieved," says Naomi, beaming. "He's a good lad, can we keep him please?"

"It's all a matter of being able to pay the bills. But lets try. Hopefully we will be getting in a bit more now we have some of Master Fini's business plus the magickal investigations. We need people through the door though. Did Mistress Narissa come around today for her stuff?"
"No, no she didn't," replies Naomi. "No one came through the door at all after you left."
Then she asks, "Are you hungry? There's still some of that stew I made last night, and I bought a nice loaf of bread today. I'll go and heat it up while you close up."
[[I have deducted 6 constantines from the 'Money left in store:' section of Guilliame's funds to represent Naomi's shopping for food over the last three days. A constantine a day is the Engelian equivalent for a single person living a modest lifestyle, which you can find out the details for here.]]

As Guilliame starts the process of closing up the shop, Mistress Narissa arrive in a hurry.
"Master de Marchant, I am so glad I caught you," she says breathing heavily. "Apologies for not coming sooner, but today has been one of those days when if it could go wrong it will."
"Have you had any luck with poor Wilf's things. Is there anything valuable amongst them?" she asks.

"Hello Mistress Narissa. I am not sure of what most of the items can do but I can show you a couple of things. As to value I really don't know. Do you have time to have a look now?"
If she says yes then show her the light source. Otherwise say that I think most of the items are used in casting of magick that I don't know. An option would be to go to the school of magick and ask Master Minton who she should see. You could also return the journey's medallion while you are there. Return the items, say there will be no charge and bid her a good evening.
Mistress Narissa says that she would be interested in seeing what Guilliame has discovered and follows him inside to where he has left the box of Wilf's possessions.
She is completely amazed by the ever-burning torch and makes the comment that this will certainly save her a fortune in lamp oil. She is not so impressed when Guilliame tells her he hasn't been able to work out the purpose or value of the rest of the items and she definitely doesn't like the idea of approaching Master Minton; it seems his ability to hear thoughts has made many people in Mistress Narrissa circle of friends wary of the man.
She is, however, very grateful that Guilliame is going to waive the fees for his services and she leaves the shop with the cold fire torch still burning in the box of effects.
By this time, Guilliame's mouth is starting to water from the smell of the stew that Naomi is re-heating, so he hurriedly finishes closing up shop and joins her at the kitchen table
"So," says Naomi as she places a large bowl of stew and a spoon down in front of Guilliame. "What did Mistress Teelba pay for your services?"

"I am trying to work out what Master Fini has done to protect his house. There is some type of magickal protection he has left. I'll speak to him when we see him but I think it might be something we could use in our shop."
"There is a book on conjuration that was mentioned in one of these. I'll try that. Thank you for your help."
"That is not a problem, Guilliame," says Velma with a shy smile. "I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help."
She then hurries on with her lamp-lighting duty.
It is getting late in the day now and while Guilliame knows that the library will be open at night, he is also probably expected at home.

Head home. Walk past Master Fini's house and check it front and back for any signs of activity.
Guilliame makes his way home without incident, detouring to check the Fini shop and residence, which seems to be intact. He sees no sign of the cat.
Sam is just leaving the shop when Guilliame arrives.
"Hello, Master Guilliame," he says "Did you have any luck in the library?"

Ask Naomi how things went with Sam and offer to help with dinner.
Guilliame says goodbye to Sam and then enters the shop to find Naomi looking at the results of the afternoon's work. Guilliame can see that the shop is a lot cleaner and better organised than it has been in a long time.

"Stew sounds wonderful, think you."
Before closing up have a look up and down the street.
Close up shop and dinner.

"I didn't charge her out of respect for having lost her son. And the fact I couldn't really work out what most of the stuff was."
"Pity," says Naomi, "But you're probably right, it's not good to take advantage of the dead, or speak ill of them."
Then, as part of casual conversation over the meal, she goes on and asks what Guilliame got up to during the day.

"Magical protection?" says Naomi. "Why do we need magical protection? Most people think we're wizards as it is and won't come near the place."
Then she says, "Protection for Fini's house... Do you mean the shrine?"
