I went downstairs to the smell of food. The eggs and bacon looked amazing. It wasn't quite the same as Elena's pancakes back home. But it was still a warm meal. I sat down next to Meli and started to eat.

Garrick mentioned finding jobs. I chewed slowly and nodded. It was a practical idea. We had some gold left. But it would not last forever.

[b]"I agree, Garrick. We need the coin if we are going to stay here."[/b]

I looked at each of them. Elena, Isolde, and Garrick were not just servants. They were my family and they were skilled.

[b]"But please be careful. Do not take work that is degrading. You are skilled people. Make sure they treat you with respect."[/b]

I finished my eggs and looked around the busy tavern. I needed to start my own task. I scanned the room for the quick Harengon. I hoped to catch Pacer between his tasks.

[hider=OOC]Cadmus agrees to the plan for the retainers to find work, provided it isn't demeaning. He then looks for Pacer. If he spots him, he intends to thank him for the breakfast and ask: [b]"I need to speak with Chief Garou today. Could you tell me where I might find him?"[/b][/hider]
