a few chuckles, "There is more news. Franklyn has returned with many trolls and some non trolls. we should try to make a good impression. See if we can make House Friends."

"They went with the DeBukes yes? What's the point.We can't even get a Painter of theirs to join our house."

A few nods, then "And the non Debukes on this cruise?"

"An Emissary to Rivervale, and an offer of help. We don't have many holds, but we can offer what we have for their new guests, and we can offer dross and aid. Agreed?"

"Aye" /"Aye" /"Agreed"/ "Of course. I'll lend much dross myself. The monopoly money tree is in bloom again."/" So mote then and agreed by all"
