"I've seen a cat. I think it only appeared when Sam walked into the shop. Now I think about it it either belongs in the shop or it belongs to Sam. But I don't think he is powerful or knowledgeable enough to cast a spell like that. It seemed to like him. Perhaps because he is Stemian. I am going back to the shop sometime to have another look. I am curious about the cat. I hope it doesn't get me into trouble."
"You mentioned a cat before..." says Naomi. "It might be the shrine's guardian in physical form. Perhaps Fini set it to guard the shrine. Did he tell you that there were any places you shouldn't go in the shop?"

"Yes of course. I thought Master Fini followed the same but I wasn't sure. It seems strange to me that Master Fini would think that violence directed at to Mithran would result in concern for his safety. Do you it will result in a crackdown on other religions?"
Naomi is a little taken aback by Guilliame's statement. "I, I don't understand... I thought you either agnostic, or a believer in the Mithran faith because of your schooling... Your father followed the faith of his father."

"I have developed a respect for both the Mithran faith and Liluri. There are good people on both sides. I must admit I'll play to whoever is listening at the time if I think it is to advantage but I'm being open and honest with you now. Do you know Sam's affiliations if any. Just curious."
"Sam?" says Naomi. "I am not sure, but he certainly knows the old ways. I would be very surprised if the person who taught him his herb lore wasn't a follower of Liluri."

"It sounds plausible. He is at the school as an older student so has more of a past than most. One other thing that we will need to make sure about is how we account for sales of the goods of Master Fini. Do you think we need to keep that money separately so we can divide the profits fairly?"
"Do we have a spare pouch we can keep in the strongbox? I was thinking of putting a sign on Master Fini's shop to come here but I don't want to draw attention that noone is staying there. But the boards are a bit of a giveaway. What do you reckon?"
"We have plenty of pouches, but I wouldn't call that box we use for our coins a 'strongbox'," says Naomi dismissively. "Do you think we need to buy a chest? One with a key? We've never felt the need before."

[[Sorry for the delay, but it's been a very long day for me.]]
Guilliame raises the issue of Master Fini's prices while he helps Naomi clean up.
"I'd be thinking he'd be grateful of any return on his goods while he's not here to sell them himself," Naomi says. "That and just protecting his shop would be his main concerns at the moment."
Then she asks, "I don't know what the other paper sellers are charging, do you? It's not something I know much about."

Guilliame rises early after a good night's sleep and, while emptying his chamberpot into the outside privy, hears a commotion in the service laneway behind the shop. The privy is up against the back fence and there is the sound of voices raised in anger coming from the other side of the seven-foot-high, wooden slat fence.

"No, he didn't. Exactly what religion is Master Fini?"
Naomi hesitates for a moment and then says, "We worship the goddess of the forest, Liluri. She of the sacred river."

Naomi thinks for a bit and then says, "That would probably be the easiest and surest method. Where do you want to keep his money?"

She then gets to her feet and starts to clear away her unfinished meal.

The next day.
Guilliame rises early after a good night's sleep and, while emptying his chamberpot into the outside privy, hears a commotion in the service laneway behind the shop. The privy is up against the back fence and there is the sound of voices raised in anger coming from the other side of the seven-foot-high, wooden slat fence.
