Inya took a seat on the couch as well, finding herself conflicted over her pressing curiosity and her concern over any unintentional misuse of her powers. This room was lit only by the daylight spilling in from a single window, which was sufficient under normal circumstances. However, Inya felt goosebumps prickling along her arms as she stared into the darker corners of the room, feelings a bit as if the shadows were pressing in on her. It was unsettling.
To make matters worse, Ranath now stood at the window, his large frame restricting even more light from streaming in. He stared idly out on the grounds outside while he considered Zultharus' questions. "Well, considering I never intended to let Dirus in on our true occupations, it never really came up that we had any connection to the victim's family. But Tahn saw to that last night, so I hear. At this point, if you two have any questions, well, you'll just have to ask." He glanced back at Zultharus. "I can't be expected to anticipate your every thought, nor what you may or may not already know, now can I?"
He turned and leaned against the wall. "As for Lord Harlow... He's not to know about our real reason for being here. To him, we are mere traveling performers, and nothing else. Those are Young Master Yonge's terms. Lord Harlow takes the city's safety very seriously, no doubt about that. But obviously his methods haven't been effective, since people are still dying, so I guess Yonge felt the need to take matters into his own hands... by putting it into ours."
The cooper's workshop was well-stocked with all the tools of the trade. The man himself sat on a work bench, applying the finishing touches to a newly-repaired bucket. He was a short man, balding, but with a pleasant attitude about him, and looked up as Dirus entered the shop. "Ah, hello!" He greeted the 'huntsman' with a friendly smile. "Yes, come in, perfect timing." He stood and strode over, offering to shake hands. "I'm Barrey Cooper, good to meet you, what can I do for you?"
