Clem ponders "I'm not looking for war with a House, but then, somethings are just right" A look to Agnes "Give the lady moth some paper and pencils. Maybe she wants to showw us her.. next vacation site"

As Vashti starts to draw, Clem whispers to Zara 'brighter than you said?'

"Pooka, Clem."

"mm hmm. Got my eye on you, Schwartz" But there's humor in it.

"Aye, aye. Eye."

"But, of more import - on my sister. I know of your debt to her, but..." A sigh. "You understand, yes?"

Clem takes a sip of her.. oh ,she does not, she obscures view of her face from Vashti and mouths to Zara 'I never said she could go into danger either, did I?'

Zara's grey lips pull into a sudden grin and she nods.

Soon, the maps of the 'vacation spot' is made, mroe artistic than helpful at first, it is interesting, and enough clues are given that with Zara's help especially, and the lore of those more traveled, they can deduce this mine where slaves are held. And from there, a plan starts to take form.

(Years from now) "But that tale," The grump troll says reflecting back on younger days "will have to be finished later" / Groans abound from the childlings "Did.. did everyone make it out? Alive? I mean..."//"SHhh... Bed time"
