Joy accepted the tea and didn't interrupt the rather private talk that the two of them were having in front of herself and Aika.  The tea was nice; warming and a little bitter.  She'd have sweetened it with honey but she wasn't going to ask for any right now.  When the new RUMORS flashed across their fields of vision, she looked up at them, seeming to be staring off into space to the two shopkeepers.  "More rumors to chase."<br/><br/>She then looked back at them, "First off, congratulations!  That's all the more reason for us to put these guys out of business."  Maybe they should have started here first?  She felt a little bad that it would likely be a few days before they saved these people from the Azure Riders.  She had to hope that they wouldn't come to harm in that time.  "This Shattering Protector sounds like my kind of guy.  Any word on where he usually hangs or can be found?"
