Re: Vaddis
"Helvara!" Tarrov gave the establishment's madame a genuine smile as well. "It is good to meet you. Tellen has been nothing but complimentary about your capabilities, although it seems as if," the bard lowered his voice, "your landlord might be making things more difficult on you than they really need to be."
Tarrov coughed. "As I was noting to Tellen, and I was just talking, mind you," he grinned, "it seems as if this establishment might benefit if there were a change of landlords or if, heaven forfend, it was allowed to begin operating . . . independently." He gave Helvara a meaningful look. "Such freedom would certainly be invaluable, don't you think?"
"Now," Tarrov's voice was all seriousness, "it is possible that there are those outside Eel's End who are also interested in a change of landlord. I was simply commenting to Tellen that if such people were to fall into the company of those whose primary interest is the House of Clouds' future, that second group might see fit to provide the first with information regarding the landlord. And by information I mean his habits, practices, businesses, aliases, and so forth, along with the identities of other sympathetic persons who might have similar information."
The bard grinned at the madame. "Don't you think?"
