[b]“The latter,” [/b]Isidore replied, nodding at a few other familiar faces within the bar. The passage of time truly was disorientating within Gloomhaven; even after all this time, the tavern’s liveliness neither increased nor decreased. Otti was there though, and it was a surprise too to see that he had taken to Raezel. He had expected the Uruthan to be sulking in a corner, really, away from the hubbub of the tavern patrons, so to see her like this…

Well, no, she still looked like she was sulking, even with the glint of hope in her eyes. The man patted his chest twice, to give her the affirmation that the seed was indeed with him once more, before turning his attention towards Otti. [b]“Can’t stay too long, friend,”[/b] he said. [b]“I’ll return though. In the meanwhile, mind asking ‘round something for me?”[/b] He leaned in closer, voice dropping to a clandestine calm. [b]“Looking to learn about a ‘Firebeard’ and the ‘Ice Guard’.”[/b]

Isidore stepped away after, motioning Raezel to come with him and exit the tavern. [b]“I’ll buy you a drink next time, Otti. Till then!”[/b]

It was only until the half-blood and the homunculi were a block away from the tavern that he spoke up again. [b]“I have the seed. But before we return to the tower, entertain me.”[/b] His gaze reflected only curiosity when he turned towards Raezel. [b]“How would you prevent its theft a second time?"[/b]
