[Emery pats Zel’s shoulder once the other man acknowledges the edibility of the fish.]

Happy to have helped~

[...And having said that, Emery gets back to his feet. Sorry Zel, but Calanthe just emerged into the solarium with a bag slung over her shoulder and Emery is now moving over to talk to her.

“Why did you get involved with the soup guy?”]

I’m a bleeding heart by nature. If I see someone in trouble, of course I’m going to try and help.

[“...You should worry more about avoiding attention.”]

Relax, I know what I’m doing.

[“Well, I guess that’s alright then. Here. I’ll talk to you later.”]

See you around~

[Calanthe hands Emery a piece of amber that he slips into his pocket. She then leaves the inn but alas, Emery still does not return to his Zelgadis’s side! Instead he goes over to the innkeeper and starts asking questions about the lake and if there’s a place he can get fishing gear in town.

And then Emery leaves the inn.]
