The bodyguard could see the physical change in Greer as relief washed over her but the moment was short lived and panic lit up her eyes again when he mentioned going to Madame. He was not surprised she would not want to go to the head of the brothel and when she spoke the name of the offending client he was shocked. "Paedar??" He asked in surprise as he could hardly believe she had uttered that name. He had seen this gentlemen many times and he had never appeared as a drug addict. Perhaps the Bane use was something new? All the same he refused to allow drug users into the brothel as much as Madame Talamh did and he would not let this drop.<br/><br/>"Listen Greer, it doesn't matter who it was. We have to go to Madame Talamh with this and tell her. He cannot be coming here if he'd doing those sorts of drugs - or any drugs really," He said sternly but he stepped forward and placed a massive hand on her shoulder. Tori hoped the gesture was one of comfort. Greers resistance to telling Madame Talamh put him and her both in a bad spot. He would not admit he had lied to her about going to Madame first else he ruined the trust the girls had for him in the future but he also refused to let it drop here. Tori frowned in thought and finally he picked up the pouch off the desk to hold between himself and the girl. "So the only reason I KNEW to look for this is because Madame Talamh sensed Bane being used around the tree. She just didn't know who did it so she asked me to look into it. So you understand that there is no choice? We MUST go to Madame Talamh."<br/><br/>He let that sink into her for a moment before he continued, "we can also investigate this further. I believe you Greer and I know Madame Talamh is reasonable. If you come with me to her right now then we can all talk this out and you won't be alone. I'm on your side here, okay? I will make sure we unveil this and it's going to be okay." Tori said to her seriously. His big hands tilted her chin up to force her to look him in the eyes, "now smile Greer. You're among family here and family sticks together. This is the truth, right? So then you have nothing to worry about. We will uncover this and everything will be fine... But in the future if this ever happens you come get me or Madame Talamh right away if you suspect or know of a client using, get it?"<br/><br/>----<br/><br/>Despite the attitude of some of the towns women the two girls managed to giggle and find themselves having fun. Kitty resented many of the folk who lived in this section of Spoiraid, none of them truly understood hardship or fighting like the girls did. They sneered and gawked but none of them knew what any of them had been through to even get to this point in their life. Kitty hated people who were ignorant and looked down on others but she was also learning to let it go and live her own life the way she wanted too live it.<br/><br/>They entered the shop and Kitty folded her hands behind her back and moved with instructed care throughout the shop as they looked at all the beautiful fabrics and upholstery available. She did not want to imagine the sort of wrath that would be brought upon their heads should they ruin something and have to pay for it. The very thought made her shudder. Kitty had never met Ailene but she smiled at the woman and waved and was pleased to hear something akin to delight in the womans voice.<br/><br/>"There are so many beautiful fabrics in here," she commented as she resisted touching a pale green silk fabric she saw. She felt herself want for it and knew she was beginning to find things worth saving her money for. Fabric for dresses and cloths, make up and maybe even books if she learned to read. The idea made her smile all the brighter, Kitty had never imagined she'd be able to make money, the idea of being able to save any of it was absolutely thrilling.
