Aria smiled. "Maybe we ca can find a place with a suitable...breakfast for you, then."<br/><br/>As they retraced their steps, they caught another lateral glance onto stage from one of the wings - the current scene displayed 'bodies' strewn all over the stage, actors and actresses with almost disturbing ability to lay quite still - while from almost invisible cords the 'reaper' and a second man dresses as an angel with a 'flaming' sword flew in spirals about one another, doing battle which mostly comprised of singing. The booming chords and tone suggested this might be some operatic finale, but Aria for one was happy not to wait and find out.<br/><br/>The employees in the foyer seemed as happy to see them out as when Kass had first bluffed their way in; Aria found it vaguely amusing to think of all that had transpired in the Plane of Shadow temple while they had been standing here, idly, absent such violent encounters or weighty cares.<br/><br/>Outside, and checking they weren't followed, they doubled back to the tavern where they'd first arrived to ask about inns, and about establishments which dealt in magic items. This led them, as if often did, into a wealthier part of the city upon what would've one been a hilly ridge, now completely covered in houses and storefronts which looked down on (literally and probably socially) the streets nearer the docks. They found<em>The Stern Prow</em>, a vaguely nautically themed inn in a multistory, townhouse-like building (as so many of the city seemed to be).<br/><br/>Before Aria went to sleep, she took some time with the monocle from the dragon's hoard, identifying their many magic items.<br/><br/>Aria woke up early as well, slipping out to relieve herself - and to make certain arrangements. She returned, followed by a slender slip of a serving girl wearing nothing but a lacy white open and a long bob of curly blonde hair. She set upon the wide crimson-cotton sheets of the bed a breakfast tray of melon slices, eggs, and grapefruit, while Aria locked the door behind her and then placed a moonstone from the gem coffer in her cleavage. The girl blushed, "I know what I said downstairs but I've never..."<br/><br/>Aria, who had a set of clothes folded under her arm, set them on a table and cupped the girl's bare buttock, "Each of us has certain talents, such as when I slipped off your bracelet without your own noticing. Among yours may prove to be performing a certain level of service for certain discerning guests. If you prefer, think of this," she nudged the moonstone deeper, "Not so much as payment for a service, but as...scholarship funds for your erudition."<br/><br/><br/>~ 10 AM, after dawn, items recharged<br/>
