Tori was glad to see Madame Talamh brighten a little bit but he was taken by surprise when she made a jape at him, "I'm intimidating." He said petulantly and he could not stop himself from chuckling, it was a deep rumbling from his belly and his smile stayed on his face afterwards but he nodded. Indeed over the years the girls had made some silly assumptions of him, but the giant man was accustomed to silly assumptions. In a way he knew that the girls found Madame Talamh much more intimidating them him. Although large most of them knew he'd not hurt a fly if he could avoid it. Tori loved fighting and sparring but it was only against those who deserved it or who loved the same and were looking for a practice partner.<br/><br/>With their buisness done Tori licked his lips and gave one more squeeze to Talamh's hand before he excused himself. He knew she had much to do for the day and that this business was best gotten finished with as soon as possible. The body guard took the pouch from the desk with the leaves placed back inside it and went in search of the girl he needed. He recalled that Greer had been sent with Cadwyn to go collect bedding and wash the cloths so there was a chance the girls would still be scrubbing in the wash basin or hanging the cloths to dry so he decided to go find the there.<br/><br/>The body guards guess was fairly stop on and he found Cadwyn washing the last of the cloths and Greer using her firecraft to warm and dry the garments, "Greer?" Tori called from the doorway of the washing room to get their attention. Absently he leaned on the door frame to seem casual and had crossed his arms across his chest as he tended to do frequently. "Can I speak with you? In my office," he asked her with a light tone. Tori had been assigned an office within the first few months of working at the brothel as he needed a place to deal with hooligans and rule breakers away from the customers. It worked just fine for other sorts of meetings as well though and had been used for both purposes in the past.<br/><br/>Meanwhile in the parlour the two girls Meaghan and Kitty found there was little clean up to do. The clients were usually quite civil and the night before had been an unexciting one so aside from sweeping floors, wiping tables and basic tidying about the room there was little else to do.<br/><br/>"Madame Talamh said we could go on a trip if we finished early and it IS pretty early. Do you think we can go out? Do you know where we are going?" Kitty asked Meaghan excitedly as they finished the last of their chores. Her excitableness was infectious and her age showed with her impatience as she looked at the older girl with pleading eyes, almost begging that could go out without saying a word.
