"Oh you just try to stop me, sweet girl. I shall negotiate a reasonable price for my services with the innkeep, then I'm yours for the night." The old T'Skrang smiled at Ari. "And it's Master Keliek't, actually. Syrtis is the name of the<em>aropagoi</em>, or Great House, I belong to. An easy mistake to make, so do not worry about it."<br/>He turned to face Xholkrox and pointed at him with a serious look.<br/>"But you, hatchling, has been lax in your duties! How is it that humans living so close together with T'Skrang does not know the significance of the fourth Name? Not being a member of an<em>aropagoi</em>yourself is no excuse."<br/>He turned back to Ari again with a smile on his face once more. His eyes fell on the rest of Ari's friends for the first time, and with an elegant motion he swept the hat of his head.<br/>"Ladies," he said with a bow and a mischievous spark in his eyes.
