[always good to get a tank or two in before hitting on the heavier subjects. At least they finally have a decent tavern for clandestine meetings]

Hm. Not the hangover, but it does give you plenty of time to work up a tolerance. Unfortunately.

[most people can't afford to get him drunk anymore]

Just drink a glass of water if you're afraid you can't keep up with me.

"I'm sure you do." Though to be fair, she's not come in her armour this time; too much work to try and get in and out of it on a regular basis without someone skilled to help her as Louis had been. Rinea had tried once, and the effort had been appreciated, but in the end Chris had had to to most of the work herself. She's even let her hair down rather than tie it up in her usual braid.

She turns her gaze instead to the building Nash has taken up residence. If she hadn't already had directions, this street would be difficult to find, as far as it was from the main thoroughfares. Which was entirely intentional on Nash's part, she assumed. "That didn't take you long at all." She notes. Even she hasn't left the hotel yet, though part of her thinks she probably should. Money's not an issue, but...she has enjoyed the company of having Rinea around. Perhaps she'd be willing to go in on a place? A conversation for later. "But then again you've never had trouble fitting in when you have to."

There's business to attend to, but she cocks her head curiously. Nash looks...slightly out of sorts, and visibly so. Not a great deal, but for a man in his line of work, it was a significant slip. "Are you all right?" She asks, and not without concern. The main is a comrade and one who had gone to great lengths to help her, even if it hadn't been for entirely altruistic reasons on his end.

Chris sees the non-answer for what it is, and she's tempted to try and push past it, but decides to table it for the moment. Perhaps she can circle back around once they've attended to the business that brought her to him in the first place.

"As you wish." She bows her head in acknowledgment, before her expression turns grim. "Yuber has become too great a menace to leave alone to his own devices. I'm in the midst of arranging an audience with King Arthur to ask his leave to form a group with Yuber's apprehension in mind. I'd like you to be part of that group." Nash was familiar with Yuber, had fought him and had a particular set of skills that would aid greatly in the finding of the demon, who had vacated the inn, as far as Chris could tell.

"He's chaos incarnate. I don't expect anyone could reliably predict his actions." Chris replies. "However, we know his moods and his nature. It might be possible to trap him." And Nash would be indispensable for such an endeavour. She nods. "Good. Thank you, Nash. I knew I could count on you."

Her head cocks curiously to one side, though at his next question. "Some." She answers, tightly. "Harmonian spies and assassins who report to the Bishopric. They wield firearms, if the reports I've ready are any indication." She looks upwards. "And that they came for my father, which is why he faked his death and became Jimba. Why are you asking me this, Nash?" There's a tension in her voice; the Howling Voice are the instruments that tore her family apart, even though Chris knows a sundering would have come sooner or later. But to be asked about them here and now while she's focused on Yuber...Nash isn't asking out of idle curiosity.

Chris' gaze remains focused upwards as Nash speaks. After a moment she takes a deep, steadying breath.

"One of their agents is here." She says finally, tonelessly. It's not a question, just a statement of fact. "And you know who it is." Of all the reasons Nash would bring them up and try to warn Chris away, it's the only answer that makes sense. Was the agent someone he'd known personally or simply someone he recognized from being a Harmonian spy?

She looks down finally, back at him, her expression neutral. "You're worried I might do something rash if I knew who it was."

"Elza?" Chris looks sharply at Nash. "The woman with the scar across her face?" Well, now. The woman Chris had met just before the minotaur attack; who she'd advised to stay close. She'd seen the gun, but she hadn't made the connection at the time. She didn't realize they'd shared a world at the time. She looks down in thought, taking the other information in as well. "I see."

"You knew her, then. Fifteen years ago." She doesn't press for more information, but it seems likely. "Well. I understand your concern, but you needn't worry. My family's break up was inevitable. If anything, my father put it off longer than he should have. They were already in Vinay del Zexay when he disappeared, from what Geddoe has told me." That still doesn't mean she's exactly thrilled with the idea, but if Elza was killed by them then she was probably on the outs with the organization too. It's something. And it means she like as not had absolutely nothing to do with going after Wyatt. That does help. "I can work past it."

"...Are you all right?" She asks after a moment, and her expression softens a bit. It seems like Nash might have regrets tied up in her death, and to meet her again after all this time has brought them back into focus.

Of sorts.

[She sat across from the Harmonian. He had found an acceptable location for their little chat even if she had as much of an interest in eating as her companion did with that oversalted dish. Despite the situation, her memory went back to the last meal they'd properly shared. It looks like he was still known to over-season.

That drew her gaze back to his face. Her eyes drawing over the lines age has etched into his skin. The last time they'd met, he had been younger than she had been. Now he was her elder.]


How long has it been?

[Fifteen years? There was no doubt in her mind about his answer but the thought had left her with too many questions she would never ask... At least not yet anyway. That though in itself posed a new problem - the mention of the others.]

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised to hear that. [She was surprised that she would be drawn here. Her life ultimately had little impact with the world and she hardly cared about politics to involve herself in the wars over the years. This one was no different.

She hadn't, however, met these others yet (that she was aware of). Elza didn't think the answer to her question would be a 'yes' but she had to ask anyway. If there were others from the Guild here then he wouldn't have picked such a quaint location. She asked it anyway for clarity sake.]


Others from the Guild?

[Caleria? That drew a stubble rise of her brow before a short puff of breath in a huff passed by her lips. She didn't miss the fact that he only made mention of one who was here. She had been vaguely curious about the others until he spoke of no Guild members being here.

Elza relaxed back against the cushion of her seat.]


What can you tell me of this place?

[the thought makes him snort; anyone trying to keep up with Joker is definitely more practiced than they look. Ah, that's right, that was before his time with the SFDF...]

Fair. I have enough.

[barely. He only takes the odd hunting or merc job to pay for booze anyway]

So. Are we going to sit here and small talk all day, or get to business? I'll tell you where I've been if you tell me the same.

That depends on whether you think my tale is shorter.

[it probably is]

Besides, with Caesar gone...well. We can get by without a tactician, I'm sure.
