Gallus had his forearms on the meeting table when La'tahne walked in. He raised his brow in surprise when he saw her. Ri'vashi was right; she looked as if she was going to entertain some rich city patron. It was only then that Gallus realised the last time he had heard of La'tahne. She was the promiscuous gardener who did not need to fight or hunt to sate her beast spirit.

The interaction between Ri'vashi and La'tahne caused Gallus to stifle a laugh. Obviously La'tahne's appearance was habitual. "Alright, it is good to meet you anyway, La'tahne," Gallus said to the finely dressed woman, "Take a seat, if you would. I assume you know our names already?"

Once La'tahne was seated, Gallus got straight down to business. "Now, we hear that you have a talent for face sculpting? Is this so? Tell us more about it, if you would."
