*Dafyd patted the man on the arm* Share a drink with me. Then we can discuss everything.
*He walks across the hall to the bar and begins to search through the bottles*

*Bard has no choice but to follow him. He sits down on a barstool while Dafyd searches for something to drink*

*Dafyd finally selects a bottle and pours a drink for himself and for Bard. He hands Bard the glass. He drinks from his own glass and, satisfied, turns his attention back to Bard*
Now, where were we, my friend?

*Bard takes the glass and sips it. It's a deep woody burgundy that is not at all to his liking. He sets the glass down in front of him*
You were asking me about the master of this place... and I'm afraid I'm at a bit of loss.

*Dafyd chuckles gesturing about him* Surely you won't tell me that a place as wondrous as this has no ruler?

That's precisely what I'm telling you. *Bard glances around the room*
Wondrous as this place is, if there's someone who controls it, I've yet to meet them. Even Tavin doesn't pretend he rules here, and he probably knows more about the Brink than anyone else.

*Dafyd considers this, sipping his wine. On the whole, he's more willing to trust the word of a bard than that of a woman. Particularly a woman like Kara. Nevertheless, he presses further*
I met a woman who called the master of this place her beloved....

*Bard blinks* Well, now I really don't know who you mean. Who was this woman?

:::Cora enters from the library... her wine bottle empty, her eyes redder than before. She sees Bard again, and a much newer face:::
Hello, Bard... Syr Dafyd.
:::She announces herself:::

Hello again, Cora! Have you been in the library all this time?

*Dafyd brightens at Cora's appearance* Fair Cora... delightful to see you again.

:::She smiles at the two, but lifts an eyebrow at the fair comment again... she supposed that if Luke complemented her all the time with names like babe, gorgeous, slim, supergirl... perhaps it wasn't too off color, still it seemed like he barely knew her enough to start compliments. She let the thought go:::
Good to see you too, and healthy, I take it your wound is healed...
:::Turning to Bard::: Yes, I've gotten a bunch of books in Germanic but my ancient languages have started slipping away from me, not having studied or practiced them for a year. I'm doing the best I can.

*Dafyd nods* Healed as though I was never hurt at all. Were it not for being here now I would think that it was all a fit of madness come over me.

*Bard notes that Dafyd does not share the joke about the wanton nymph but says nothing*
