"Our shop. Vi's gonna hear it one way or another, rather it not be second hand."

"Alright let's head to your shop than"

liber follows but does not let his guard down for a second.

(sorry, ADHD kicking in fierce lately.)

Tandor jots a quick note on a piece of paper saying "Please come to the pepper stall right away and please put the note back under the collar."  He then tucks it securely under the collar and sends Gilbert to the further of the two shops first then to the other.

Mialee walks after them, sticking to the back. She keeps feeding the creature persimmon slices.

Well surrounded and monitored, a dejected Kasem trudges back to the shop he shares with his brother.

"Vi, need to close up for a bit. These folks... Well, there's a conversation I don't think they are going to let me out of having."

Vi looks puzzled, his gaze swinging from his brother to each of you.

"Well Kasem, you want to explain yourself or should we tell what we have learned?"

liber starts breathing, with a little crackle in his breath to show what happens if there's any funny business.

Continuing to stand and watch, Trencher really isn't sure how this is going to go, so when he sees the bit of crackle from Liber's mouth, he makes sure he is out of a straight path to where he might be sending that lightning.

"Hey now, let's calm down. Vi is innocent in this, and I don't see why all of this can't be kept peaceful and friendly- as long as the issue with our friends at the noodle and the seafood shop is dealt with. Speaking of which, perhaps we ought to wait for them?"

Tandor nods, "Yes, excellent idea.  Let's wait for them."

"Noodle and Seaf-- you mean Lamai and Kusa? What about them?", Vi asks, concerned.

"Look... you lot mind if I talk to my brother alone first? I'm not going anywhere, you can watch me the whole time.", a dejected Kasem says.

Not waiting for approval, he takes his brother by the arm and moves to where they can have some whispered privacy.

Tandor sends Gilbert over so he's close enough to hear the whispered conversation and then listens through the cats ears.

Liber ritual casts Comprehend Languages to listen in if they shift dialects or go away from Common.

((Gilbert's running errands to bring the shop keepers.))

"Aaah!", Kasem flinches as the dragonborn starts casting.

"See here! Enough of that!", Vi speaks up. "I don't know what this is all about, but I'll hear my brother out, and I'd thank you NOT to go doing magics in our stall!"

"tis merely a language translator, and not for you. there could be other ears with regards to this."

"Out!"

"Out!"

 Tandor shakes his head. "No. We've worked too hard to just walk away and give your brother a chance to escape. We will give you your privacy, but if you want it, you'll just have to talk quietly."

The priest stares at the brothers and at the 6 or 7 feet which separates the two groups.

((Privacy is what he's asking for, with a crackling, casting dragonborn looming over them. The shop isn't big, you'd be about that distance if you stepped out to let them talk.))

Mixtli pushes the others out the store.

"give them time to talk, we can ensure he doesn't leave from the outside as well."
