Then who are you looking for?

If anyone.

I may have misunderstood.

I should probably, um, stop.

Sending messages, I mean.

[escalera]

we can pretend i never texted you about my feelings
if you want
that works for me

[ is that... is that what you call 'texting about your feelings' jesper? ]

lets start over
hi wylan

[daturameloxia]

Yes. That sounds

Hi Jesper. Lovely weather, isn't it?

[escalera]

yeah it's a balmy day, gonna be another rainy night i think
pity

how's it going, have you blown anything up recently?

[daturameloxia]

I heard the same. Perhaps some storms.

Not recently, but Kaz did put in another order. Hopefully not for the Crow Club this time.

[escalera]

better pack an umbrella huh?

im still mourning all the jackets i lost in that fire
had a really bright green one that im never gonna find again
it was white wool, dyed real nice

kaz still owes me for that

[ when does kaz owe anyone anything ]

[daturameloxia]

Seems that way, yes.

There's [Wylan recalls his father owning a similar coat, but Wylan quells the instinct to mention anything about his father.]

Can Kaz even owe anyone?

[escalera]

there's what?

[ of course the jacket was stolen, that goes without saying. ]

sure he can
he just tries not to
if he does, he'll say something like "I always settle my debts" and sound all ominous
but really he means "I hate being in debt to anyone"
whereas me? i love being in debt
im so good at it

[daturameloxia]

Nothing.

I've learned you're quite good at being in debt.

Are you allowed to play cards or dice outside the Crow Club?

[escalera]

nnnnot strictly speaking
kaz says owing other clubs is bad for business
but playing in the club attracts pigeons, so he'll turn a blind eye as long as its not on my shift

[daturameloxia]

[That's right, 'pigeons.' That's what Kaz and Jesper called them.]

Do you play outside the Barrel?

[escalera]

[ you're either a pigeon or a crow, wylan! ]

once or twice
not in a long time
its an easy way to get in trouble with the stadwatch

[daturameloxia]

[And here Wylan quietly hoped he might play closer to his financial district where he might take some money off his father's hands.]

So is nearly everything we do.

[escalera]

sure, but kaz won't post my bail if I get caught outside the barrel

[ that's the problem, you see... perhaps a kindly mercher's son will have to post his bail for him... ]

[daturameloxia]

[Perhaps if he was even considered the son of a mercher and not a mistake, the merchling would do just that.]

Oh.

That would be a problem, then.

[escalera]

yeahhhh i dont wanna end up in hellgate cause of a bad score
though i know mercher pockets are deeeeep
all itd take is one good hand and....
well
maybe ill think about it

[daturameloxia]

I could direct you to the best gambling house in the financial district.

When you want, that is.
