Mischa hmms, and takes a seat beside Claire, still resting her arm over her shoulder reassuringly. "Why's that?" she asks curiously.

A man with dirty blonde hair walks in the door, shaking slightly as he approaches the counter.

"...excuse me?"

*The maid behind the counter looks to the man as he comes in.* Yes, how can I help you?

"Er, well... first off, I'd heard a rumor, sure it's nothing... and I don't want to be too bold, but erm, you don't ever sell, well... people, do you?"

Claire: *withdraws a fun-sized packet of Reese's Pieces from her uniform, carefully tears it open, and chews on a few idly* ...I don't know... I guess it's always been more about the work to me, and not the money. ...And for all I know, she might think that I don't deserve much more than what I have now.

...Are you accusing us of slave-trading?

The word gave him a start, and he began frantically waving his hands in a defensive reflex.

"Oh, no, no! No, no. Of course not." He thought for a moment. "Well... maybe, sort of. I mean, not accusing, definitely not accusing, not in an accusatory way. Maybe slave-trading. But probably not, well, definitely not by my standards, but I guess one might conceivably see it that way, a reach, but conceivably. But I wouldn't!"

"It's just, I came across a place a while ago that used people for fabric, but they kind of, ah... exploded. I heard rumors of someone else doing something similar, but I can't catch them open; think they might be on sabbatical. So, anyway... yeah... I was just wondering whether that sort of thing was common around here."

Uh, no, I don't think we've ever sewn people into clothes... Why do you ask? *The maid's starting to look a little uncomfortable...*

"I'm pretty sure that's not the case..." Mischa hmms. "I mean... Circe is a friend as well as an employer, isn't she? I'd bet she would be worried about you if she knew about this..."

Claire: *blushes a bit* She's... a friend? I didn't realize that she thought that of me.

Mischa hmms. "Well, I'll admit I can't say that with any certainty... but for all of her grumpiness, she does seem like a good person who cares for people deep down inside. I'd be a bit surprised if she didn't care for those who worked for her."

Claire: Well... maybe I'll ask her after she returns, then... *sighs* But, you wanted me to rest, so I will. I realize you just sat down, but could you please get something to drink out of the mini-fridge for me?

((OOC: And I'll leave it up to you to decide what to give her.))

Mischa smiles. "No problem!" she says, bouncing to her feet and walking over to the fridge! Looking over its contents, she finally picks out a bottle of iced tea, and offers it to Claire. "How about this?"

Claire: This will do. *thankful smile* I appreciate this, Miss Mischa. *accepts the iced tea and sips from it* Remind me to have you over sometime.

The man winces. "Oh, gods, sorry... um... sorry... I didn't mean... I mean, I'd figured probably but it wasn't my busi-... my intent... I mean, I wasn't going to... well, I'd been looking to be... sorry. I'm not some sort of... what's the word... sorry. Sorry if I'm scaring you at all. Sorry."

He turns to the mouse with a visible mixture of disappointment and relief, and exhales. "Yeah, all right. Not really what I was looking for, though. Hmm." He glances around. "I think, barring that, what I'd be looking for would more be - is there a technical term? - your, um, 'external spells'? Costumes, potions, wands, &c. Is there a catalogue or something I could go through, or would I just start on the shelves?"
