"Excellent. if you need to abandon this at any time, let me know, and I'll recompense you for the efforts up to that point. Should you find out what I ask, that is, does she have it and where is it? Obviously more might be involved as far as being equitable"

A slow nod. "I may require a favor. There are... things on the horizon, and your skills may be useful. Yes."

"Interesting," he says "If it does not betray my House mates, or hinder others of this hold, I think I can say I'll try to assist you. you may not bend knee, but you do right by this place and I have noticed." A dip o his horns

"I would not ask such of you, no. But I also know that a'times, transportation is invaluable..."

"AH, well, yes. Though I maybe obsolete soon" He smiles, "Earl has a natural gift for visualization of locations."

A soft rasp of laughter. "When she is enjoying, aye. If she is not, it shall flick once every few seconds..."

"While 'adorable' is not a descriptor I often use... well..." Another smile. "I cannot disagree."

"Well, I am delighted to see the book a hit. Do forgive me, Miss Zara, but there is another lady I must be tending to tonight, and only a cad leaves a woman standing alone when she was told it would not be so."

"Of course, of course - please, go." A little shooing motion.

He inclines his head, smiles at the bookwyrm's emotive tail and departs.
