It does feel a little weird though to be referred to as Zel's employer, even if that's part of the whole cover story they're going with. It's not like Emery is paying him anything. Unless paying Zel with his body counts?
Zel would probably fuss and bluster if Emery made a remark about that. Fortunately for certain chimeras, Emery decides to answer the question instead.]
I really am fine. I've done stuff like this before, and it might be interesting to get a look at the market from this perspective. [Plus he can keep an ear out for useful info from any customers who might be inclined to chat.] Anyway, I already gave the Hob my word so I wouldn't want to go back on it regardless.
