You guys (hopefully) pay your cafe bill and set back off out of the square, back along the route you'd taken to get there earlier that afternoon. The day is starting to wind down a little - there are still people about but not as many, and some of the businesses you'd passed earlier are beginning to close up for the day. You pass back into Jovian's foreign quarter and head for the inn, finding it the same as when you left.
Entering from the street into the inn's common room, you actually spot Hestor Rum sitting at one of the tables toward the back of the room, apparently in conversation with a woman you don't recognise. She's middle-aged, brown-skinned, her curled black hair turning grey. From the way she's dressed you'd guess she's pretty well-off, but her outfit looks rather dull when placed right next to Hestor's habitual peacocking.

As you approach the table, Hestor looks up at you and smiles broadly.
"Ah, Bela! Have you met our host?" Addressing the woman again, he says, "Julia, this is Mr Gin, my right hand man. I don't know where I'd be without him.
"Bela, this is Madam Croswen, owner of the Rested Traveller. She has just been graciously answering some questions I had about this city. It has been most enlightening," he adds with a smile in her direction.
The woman - Julia Croswen - gives a polite nod at you. "A pleasure, Mr Gin."

"Rather dizzying!" *chuckle* "Mr. Slade," gesturing towards Richard, "was drugged in a casino. Later, he was told to ask a man for assistance, which seemed to anger the man. And," pausing to consider events, "while trying to drink in the incredible beauty of the Temple, we met a woman I had the strongest feeling we were supposed to meet. She's from the Sprawl, and is having great difficulties with her landlord, a less than charming sounding fellow named Smoak. The short of that story is our more than charming Miss Ridgeway," nodding toward Paula with laughter in my eyes, "has a date this evening with a Magistrate Umbar Keren.
"You know," looking back and forth between Rum and Madame Croswen, "just another day!"
