As Guilliame makes his way towards home he hears and then sees a fire cart making its way towards the fire burning a couple of blocks away from his home.
On the cart he sees one of the fire mages the city uses to control fires when they occur. He knows that most of the fire mages in Constantine are alumni of the School who have specialised in the control and manipulation of elemental fire.
However, apart from this bit of excitement he makes it home without any further bother. Granny Naomi is at the door of their shop, where she is looking about for the source of the fire bell.
"Hello Guilliame," she says as he walks up. "A bit of excitement for the end of the day, I wonder where the fire is?"

"It's only a couple of blocks away. My fire loving colleagues from the school are dealing with it. It's been a disturbing day all round. There was someone broke into the school today claiming to be some sort of god and there is an Alfaren assassin on the loose apparently. I'll double check we've locked up tight tonight again."
"Interesting times," says Granny Naomi thoughtfully while nodding her head. "On the positive side, business was good today. I've add eleven Constantines to the coin box."
[OOC: And so have I, to your character sheet, I mean.]
Then she adds, "I need to go to the farmer's market tomorrow to try to get some new stock. Can you look after the store?"

Granny Naomi tells Guilliame the details of what she sold during the day while she gets ready to go out for dinner. The two of them then head out for dinner.
The Scholar's Retreat is a popular haunt of older students of the School as well as it alumni, but tonight it doesn't seem as busy as it normally would be.
Guilliame and Naomi take a table and order dinner (the following link will give some ideas of costs, however, remember that these prices should be divided by 10 to get Engelian prices [e.g., a mug of ales would cost .4cp or 4 cubs in Engelian coinage.]) Granny Naomi splurges a little and gets a decent meal of meat and roast vegetables to be washed down with a mug of ale for the princely sum of 4 Lions and 4 cubs.
[OOC: Does Guilliame get an equivalent meal?]
While the two of them are eating, a nubian woman—a rare sight in Constantine—sings songs from New Nineveh while being accompanied by a metal harp that seemingly plays by itself.

[OOC: I have deducted the costs of the two meals from the coins in the shop.]
OOC Does Guilliame understand the principles of "self-playing" harps?
[OOC: It is not something he has seen before and he would need to examine the harp to determine anything specific about its nature.]
While Guilliame and Granny are having their meal, Guilliame see Master Narim and Seb from the School enter the inn. Master Narim goes to talk to the innkeeper while Seb looks around the taproom. Seb nods at Guilliame in recognition, but doesn't seem interested in chatting. He seems to be looking for someone.

Keep an eye on them and check out if they start talking to someone. If they appear to be going jump up and ask if they are looking for anyone I might know.
Their visit to the inn seems to be only a short one as Master Narim heads back toward Seb after an apparently unsuccessful conversation with the innkeeper, who clearly shook his head in response to a question asked by Narim.
As they head towards the door, Guilliame gets to his feet and heads towards them.
"Are you looking for anyone in particular?" Guilliame asks.
"We're looking for Allus," replies Seb. "Have you seen him?"

[OOC: Guilliame actually saw Allus earlier today (see here) and also knows him. If Guilliame is trying to deceive Master Narim and Seb, you will need to make a Charisma (Deception) check (no bonus). Or, if you want to change what you tell them, then please do so now.]

The singer's performance is competent but not great, and the most interesting things about her performance are that the harp is accompanying her by itself and that she is singing the latest songs from New Nineveh; songs that are new here in Constantine. Guilliame and Granny Naomi listen to a few more songs and then the singer takes a break.
When she does, a few of the patrons get up and throw coins into a crockery jar near where she was sitting. Guilliame sees lots of silver and even some gold being put into the jar.
While Guilliame is wondering if he should do the same, he sees another nubian—a man this time—enter the inn. The newcomer is wearing clothes that, while expensive, have seen better days. Despite looking a little down at heal, the man has something of a swagger about him and it seems he is here to talk to the singer. She doesn't seem pleased to see him.

Naomi has never seen a self-playing harp before and is wondering if there is someone invisible playing the instrument.
The two nubians take their discussion outside, exiting the inn through the front door deep in conversation. The woman seems to be upset by the man's presence.
