Handleader Ahman and Guilliame continue to chat for a long time, during which she tells Guilliame to refer to her by her first name: Latisha.
Their chatting is finally interrupted when Barrus and Alice return from their uneventful patrol of the Stock Yards region. Handleader Ahman then tells Barrus he is in charge and that she and Guilliame will take a patrol of the Northport residential district.
The two initially set off southward along the northern road with Latisha carrying a watch lantern to light their way. They then turn left along a street that, after a while, begins to skirt the southern end of the Stock Yard regions with open fields on the left and fairly open middle-class housing on the right. The walk is quiet with only the occasional pedestrian being seen, who Handleader Ahman greets with a casual friendly salute.
At one point, Latisha breaks the silence, saying "There is the occasional robbery in this area, but it is generally pretty quiet. We put patrols through here every now and then mainly so people can see their taxes being put to good use." Then she points in the direction they are walking and adds, "Northport up ahead is another matter, but we only go in there when necessary."
[OOC: Make an Area Knowledge roll for Guilliame against a DC of 8 to see if he knows why the above is the case.
Also, please feel free to have Guilliame ask any questions or raise any issues?]

[OOC: Northport is its own city region run by a collective of fishermen and farmers (the Northport Cooperative) who use the northern-most of Constantine's two ports. Because of this, the city watch does not have a post in the area. Law and order is maintained by a sort of neighbourhood watch made up of responsible locals and a few mercenaries, who are employed by the collective to train and manage the volunteers.]

"Me? Never," says Latisha promptly. "At least not officially. About a year ago, the city sent in a team of investigators to look into reports of smuggling, but nothing came of it. The tax inspectors asked for some watchmen to accompany them at the time, but I was not part of that detail."
As the two continue to walk, Guilliame begins to hear the faint sounds of music coming from up ahead.
"Fancy a drink?" asks Latisha. "The Nook is up ahead and they serve nice beer. My shout tonight."
[OOC: If you like, Guilliame can roll again for Area of Knowledge to see if he knows this establishment. The DC to beat is 15 in this case.]

Latisha just laughs and then says, "Of course... And besides, it gives us another chance to let the people of the area know that we are on the job."
Guilliame and Handleader Ahman continue on towards the source of the music, which turns out to be a building on one corner of an intersection. The sign over the door reads: 'The Nook'.
Entering the building, the two find a group of musicians performing to a small crowd of well-dressed, middle-class patrons who seem to be enjoying themselves. Guilliame immediately recognises the players as those he met outside the Shepherd's Rest last night.
"They are good," says Latisha, smiling. "Wait here and enjoy the music, I will go and say hello to the proprietor and get us some drinks."
[OOC: What does Guilliame do while he waits? Also, if you want to reread the events of last night, clickhere.]

As Guilliame looks around the room, he see a number of people he recognises the faces of as well as a few people who knows the names of. In no particular order, this last group of people are as follows:
The players from last night, who are literally holding centre stage (the leader of which is Zed de Maclan, who Guilliame might remember is a powerful innate sorcerer).
The day-time candle caller for the area around Guilliame's shop; a man by the name of Cyrus Dawalla, who is here with a woman of about the same age that Guilliame does not know.
A woman Guilliame recognises from the School of Occult Studies but hasn't been introduced to. He knows that her last name is Zemna and that that name is listed on the School's honour board.
Jon Simms, the water warden for the Scholar's Ward and a man of some public importance; and
Narissa Teelba, a woman who was recently a customer at Guilliame's shop, is here with a man who is probably her husband.

[OOC: Hi Andrew. I have learnt something new with World Anvil. If you go to Guilliame's page (here), you will see that I have added some lists of people and places he knows something special about. I have done this as a sort of aide de memoir for both of us. The list is generated automatically each time the page is accessed, as long as I include the right tag in the article. I have added this tag to the articles you will see on the page already, but I certainly haven't got all of them. If you can think of any that you think should be there, let me know and I will add them.]
