The dog starts barking again and Minton turns to it to try to calm it before turning back to Guilliame and saying, "Yes, you are right. Wamzut is dead. You will have to forgive me, Bruxa's incessant barking is getting to me... Driving me a bit crazy it seems."
Bruxa is straining at his lead to get to Guilliame, but in a friendly fashion; he seems keen for attention.

AKA: Phillip Berrie: writer, editor and academic thrillseeker—a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
Master Minton unchains the dog and the three of you move into his small lodgings, which are right next to the gate, and not-so-coincidentally far away from the living quarters for those students of the School who live on campus.
Bruxa is an affectionate dog, if somewhat big, and he keeps Guilliame occupied while Minton starts preparing the char.
As he moves about his small kitchen Master Minton continues the conversation he started outside.
"I don't think that Wamzut wants people to know about his new, er, body," he says and then adds, "in either of its appearances. So, seeing as he clearly knows you, but didn't have the time to go into details, I would suggest that you keep this information to yourself, Guilliame. That's right isn't... Good."
Despite knowing that Master Minton can apparently hear what he is thinking, Guilliame is still a little surprised that he didn't need to say anything to answer Minton's question.
Master Minton then puts a small kettle onto a stove and stirs the fire within into life before turning to his guest and asking, "So, how do you know Wamzut?"

"I met Wamzut on travels in Ilbarsis. He discovered I had latent power and made this wristband for me. I then came back to Constantine and the last I heard Wamzut had died."
Minton nods, and then says, "Yes, I heard that he had passed as well, but one day he just turned up at the door here. I was quite surprised to hear his old man thoughts coming from the head of someone so pretty."
Looking a little embarrassed, Minton turns away and fetches cups and what looks to be a small pot of honey and then says, "I'm afraid I don't have any milk, do you take honey?"

Then the door of the school suddenly opens and a strange-looking woman in tanned leathers wearing a large dagger on her hip exits the compound in a hurry. Although no one follows her, Guilliame can hear the excited barking of the dog Master Minton has recently taken ownership of and keeps in his gatehouse quarters.
[OOC: I'm afraid I am going to have to retcon the above description. The woman is wearing baggy men's clothing and does not have a dagger. Everything else stays as it was. More soon.]

"Honey would be fine, thank you. Do you know why Wamzut was in such a hurry to leave?"
Minton spoons honey into Guilliame's cup while thinking on the question.
"I'm afraid I can't tell you that," he says finally. "The ways of wizards are strange and everyone deserves some privacy in their lives. But he said he would find you, so perhaps you will be able to ask him yourself."
There is a moment of awkward silence as Minton and Guilliame wait for the kettle to boil.
Then Bruxa suddenly looks up at the door to Minton's lodging at the same time as the man himself looks in the same direction.
Bruxa begins to growl softly and Minton turns on the dog and with a chastising finger says 'No!' firmly.
Minton then looks at Guilliame and says, "Do you mind holding the dog for a moment?"

"Excuse me Master Black but when you have a moment I'd like to talk with you about a business proposition. At your convenience of course." (Talk to him in proper Englesh)
[OOC: Can you give me an example of a person you can now not see, but that you used to. It might help me work out what is wrong.]
"Excuse me Master Black but when you have a moment I'd like to talk with you about a business proposition. At your convenience of course." (Talk to him in proper Englesh)
[OOC: The above is confusing and I need clarification as to what is actually being done.
First of all, I am assuming that Guilliame is assuming the man he cannot see is Negress Black. That is a valid assumption, seeing as Negress Black, like Guilliame, is a journeyman alumnus of the School as well as being the twin brother of the archmagus of the School: Cyrus Black. However, Negress is a common Sorian name, as it is the name of an ancient king of Sorenden, as is Cyrus. However, I think it likely that Guilliame might enquire as to who it is he is addressing before saying the above.
Second. Englesh (there is now an article for this on the world site) is a derogatory term used by some Sorian to refer to the language used by the indigenous Stemian people. Negress and Cyrus are both Sorians, and so would likely be more comfortable speaking the language of the Sorendenese Empire (i.e., Sorian).
However, if Guilliame is trying to pretend he has less of a Sorendenese background than he does, he might try speaking to the man in Englesh as a ploy. He is fluent in both languages, as he suspects Negress would also be because of their line of business.
The problem with him trying to portray himself as a Stemian is that his height and general body shape are those of a Sorian, not the shorter and stockier Stemians. In fact, the only thing about Guilliame that speaks of his shared racial heritage is his pale complexion; Granny Naomi is a Stemian, as was Guilliame's mother, according to his backstory.
Having gone into all the detail above, do you want to change what Guilliame does?]

OOC I was trying to see Negress and can't anymore. But U can see Cyrus. Can't see Brand either or Guilliame for that matter
Thinking about it whether it is Negress Black or not as he has something important to do I'll leave him to his business. But nod politely to him as he passes by.

[OOC: Odd. I can't see any reason why you can't see those characters, but I can see some evidence that the developers have made some changes to the interface. Hopefully this means the problem will only be transient while they fix the bugs.]

Guilliame doesn't get to see the person Master Minton is talking with because he never enters the gatehouse. He does hear the man assure Minton that he won't tell anyone and then he hears the sound of the main gate being opened and closed.
Moments later, Minton walks back in and says, "Now, where were we? Are yes, char."
Minton then pours boiling water into the honeyed cups and after stirring the contents hands Guilliame his cup and says, "So, you and Negress Black are competitors, aren't you?"
Bruxa is now lying with his head on Guilliame's foot.

"Well we both operate in the same area and Negress has been getting a lot of trade from the school. But I'm sure we can sort something out that will be of assistance to both of us."
"So you were going to tell me about Wamzut becoming Attina."

Give Bruxa a pat.
"So how does dead Wamzut become young Attina?"
Minton is silent for a moment and then he says, "We need to talk. Would you like a cup of char?"
Meanwhile, Bruxa has been taking as much of Guilliame's patting as he is willing to give.

Minton goes to the door, opens it and goes out, saying, "Going so soon, Negress."
"Yes... I forgot something important I have to do," says a man's voice.
"...Please remember what I said," Master Minton says, after a moment's pause.
