Marita entered the Public House to find it mostly empty, as to be expected from a night of heavy drinking and partying. As distasteful as such behavior was, it did make things much easier for her, both insofar as having a measure of privacy as well as simply getting to the people she needed to talk to. She followed behind Victoria to Rickard's table and followed along with their conversation, but did not seat herself along with the others.

[color=FF6C5C]"I think I heard about that too,"[/color] she said in response to the elf, [color=FF6C5C]"Youelle Brightcobble I believe her name was. I'm not sure if a dressmaker would be awake at this hour. At least not where we'd be able to access them. So if we talk to them, it might be best to do that a bit later in the day. Excuse me for a moment."[/color]

The Cleric took the moment to separate herself from the table. She waved over at Lea and tried to smile to the server personably. What came out ended up looking more like a snarl than anything. Ignorant of this, Marita made her way over to the barmaid and pulled her off to the side.

[color=FF6C5C]"There's a few things I need to ask you about,"[/color] she spoke in a hushed tone, using her hand to block her words from any would-be eavesdroppers that may still be around. [color=FF6C5C]"You remember that conversation about Audrey last night? Well my compatriot said she started feeling the same way after she left the graveyard yesterday. Do you remember if Audrey had any business around there, or if she did something out of the ordinary before her paranoia kicked in? I'm starting to worried that place might be haunted."[/color] That last sentence was entirely fictional, but she wanted to at least give Lea the plausible deniability that everything they had talked about as far as the disappearing cases went was simply gossip between acquaintances. If the Constable truly wanted to crack down on outsiders and anyone looking into this mystery, the last thing she wanted was to get anyone in trouble when they didn't know what they were getting into.
