"Mother is fine," replies Velma. "Sorry about last night, she had had a bit to drink by the time we got there. That always makes her feisty around company."

"She seemed very nice. I have had martial training. That is why I am speaking to Master Narim. Hopefully I can help some of these kids defend themselves physically until they can do it with magick."

"I am a reformed character now. I need to make an honest days living and look after my granny. Set myself up for the future. I hope that can involve the two of us together."
[Perhaps strangely, Guilliame gets the feeling that Velma is not too upset that he has things in his past that he thinks needed his character reformed.]
Shyly, Velma puts a hand on Guilliame's arm and says, "I would like that."

"I would like that too. But I want to be after to look after you and your mother. So I am thinking about the future. So I'll see what Master Narim says as a start."
Have a look across and see whether Master Narim is free yet.

"I have been examining an interesting item for a client. It seems to allow some connection to animals and some other sentient being. It's a bit disturbing. Have you come across any references to things like that in the library?"
[OOC: If you hadn't already guessed, Guilliame is now of the opinion that Master Narim and Mistress Althea are romantically involved.]
Velma thinks for a moment and then says, "I am really not the right person to speak to on such matters... However, I have heard there are rituals that allow people to talk to animals and surely there are also spells that do such things. Maybe a spell has been embedded into the item. I know that can be done."
Then she adds, "What do you mean by 'other sentient being'?"

"I started to feel I could sense and then gain some understanding from animals. But then there was a definite voice that spoke to me. It knew someone was there and wanted to communicate, and take some shape in this world as though it didn't already have one. I don't know what it was but I didn't like it."
"I put it down and haven't picked it back up again. I tried an Identify spell on it but it didn't work. I'll sleep on it and try again. By the way I need to head home early today to see the client who left the stone with me. Perhaps tomorrow I can bring my grandmother across and we could have dinner at the Scholar's arms. I'll need to check in with her though. Are you free for that?"
Velma nods and says, "That would be nice. I would like to meet your grandmother."
"Hello Guilliame. Hello Miss Smit," says a young male voice.
Guilliame looks up to see Sam approaching the table.
"Have you heard the news?" he asks, sounding excited. "Apparently someone tried to rob the Bank of Sorenden. And they almost got away with it. One man was killed in a run-in with the guards and there are a couple of others still on the run."
[OOC: The Bank of Sorenden is the empire's equivalent of the Reserve Bank of Australia and it has a single branch in Constantine, which is located in the Temple Ward; the most secure part of the city after Palace Island.]

"I could help with training of the youngsters. And they could then protect me on my way home."
Velma laughs a little and then looks at you strangely. "What makes you think that Master Narim would want you? Have you any experience with fighting?"

"I have experience being beaten up. So if I can pass that on to the youngsters and tell them to do the opposite that is would be a valuable lesson."
Velma looks confused but says nothing.
Meanwhile, Master Narim and Mistress Althea get their lunch and go and sit at a table by themselves.

Ask after Velma's mother and how her day has been.
"Mother is fine," replies Velma. "Sorry about last night, she had had a bit to drink by the time we got there. That always makes her feisty around company."

"Martial training? Have you been in the army? I never would have guessed," says Velma, fascinated. "So, you can use a sword?"

"I've never been formerly trained. I learned what I know on da streets. I have a big sword at home but of course I can't take it around town."
"I am impressed," says Velma with a smile. "And I never would have guessed. You seem to be a bit of a black sheep, Guilliame."
