It felt a bit odd to be thAnked for an evening, but at least he hadn’t left money on her dresser as he left. “Well, thank you too.”
She cleared her throat then. “I’m sorry that Juliette promised you...but I’m not coming into the mists with you. I have to go to Edysse. I just told Demetri...” she sniffles again. “It was really hard to decide. I’m sorry.”

"I understand. We all have our paths." He considered her words before suddenly changing the topic.
"Would you mind looking for someone while you're there? Or just asking around?"

“Of course. Who is it?” She turned resolutely away from Demetrius so she didn’t cry again. “I’ll be asking after a lot of people. I’ll meet so many there. And I think Mr Thornheart might even bring me to the court of the emperor.”
She decided then to get a primer on court Imperial, like Konrad had spoken to the serpent.

Thalia arrived late, due to undisclosed reasons and approached Herneiros.
“So, have many of the group volunteered to return to the mists?” She asked him, not minding interrupting his conversation. She spoke in lethargic elvish.

"Well, Nigel obviously had higher priorities. Silvia, Ceutinde, and Justine-Juliette will be following him to the capital, but will be chasing their own leads on that Mist cult we encountered on Al-Khial. So it shall be you, I, Tehol, Kjell, Justine's friend Demetrius that I mentioned before, and our new ally Wrugar. He seems to be a good fellow."
In truth, unless you walked up to Herneiros and accused him of bestiality (like a certain Marshall of the Eastern Reach), he tended to assume most people to be 'good fellows'.

Justine frowned at Thalia. She always did seem quite rude and completely unbothered by that. “But who am I to look for?” She repeated herself, in imperial, a little louder this time. “Unless you’re too busy in which case I’ll be on my way. Good luck in the Mists and all.”

"Oh, my apologies!" Herneiros turned to Justine. "There’s a man in the capital named Victor Rosecroft. He's... well, he's my cousin and possibly my last living relative. He's married to some fishing mogul's daughter. Anyway, he might be a good man or he could be neck deep in terrifying interplanar conspiracy to wipe out civilization as we know it. Either way, I was hoping you might be able to help Silvia and Ceutinde seek him out. They already know all about it. I understand that you probably have your own priorities, but the Rosecrofts were friends of the last Emperor so I think you'll probably hear about them easily enough."

She frowned a little. Friends of the last emperor were unlikely to be friends of hers. “I’ll help them look for him. There are definitely a lot of strange occult things going on...and I think the Lockharts have their fingers in all of them. Who knows, maybe they’re tangled in the same thing that...Sorry, I’m rambling. I’ll look for your relative.” She reached up and squeezed his shoulder. “And you and Demetri come back safe.”

He reached up and squeezed her hand. "I will. Be careful. Both of you."

She nodded, and with one more glance back at her Demetri, left.

Thalia looked amused as Justine left. “Excellent, they’re all the people we need, a beaker would have been useful, but I have some minor healing spells and could research another.”
