"Yeah, there are three now." Stepping in he looked around, "They bought me, brought me books for me to study, there is a reason I say I stand on the tip of a sword and no matter which way I lean I'm cut." Going though the stock of wines, making sure there will be enough, "I'll have to send word to bring a few more casks, and yeah, I'm worried, I'm putting my life on the line, playing both sides and if you fail, I'm dead."

"Hopefully I'm the only one to die if I fail, but I wouldn't garentee they don't decide this whole place is worth killing and bringing back up as slaves. It seems like on of the biggest collections of powerful individuals I've ever seen. And there are a lot more than three, that's just how many they've decided I'm worth for the time being is all." he said, standing and watching him go through everything. "That can't be too reassuring to hear, but that's how it is. Now, what about this third one? And how exactly do you plan to use the party to our advantage?"

"Rivven, even if they decide everyone is not worth killing they will still come after me and do something, I betrayed them." Making a mental tally of what wines where on hand Quin stood up behind the bar. Leaning on it, "Nothing could really make me more worried then I am at the moment, and as for how I plan to use the party well typically parties are chaotic, you would be off guard, well now you won't, and there will be others here, so you most likely won't end up fighting by yourself."

"I had hoped to avoid dragging anyone else in... but it may work out." he said, looking at all the wines Quintilius was taking counts on. "I will give it a try. Am I to be serving as if all was normal, or shall I be watching somewhere to see if our enemy presents themself to us?" he said, looking down at him. "I am sorry you were brought into this as well. I... can't really give you more than a sincere apology, but you have that."

"Rivven I swear, sometimes you don't seem to think at all." Shaking his head he walked around and patted him on the shoulder, "Do you really think being on the watch is going to draw them out compared to you just doing your job, think a little." Pacing across the floor, "How many people do you think we can get in here? And there is no need for apologies, this is what I do, get caught in the middle and do what I do best."

"Sometimes, I don't. But believe me, I may not be much one for plotting and laying traps, but I'll be perfectly fine when the combat begins." he said, leaning back against a wall and watching him pace. "If our goal is to bring them into the open, then in that case yes, it makes perfect sense. And just be careful when things start heating up. I'm sure you can take care of yourself, but these men are dangerous. You be careful, and if need be... make sure Morgan is alright too. If I can't do that myself, I might have to keep moving to take full advantage of the situation, and I want to know she'll be perfectly safe, even if I am on the move."

"Yes, yes, I'll do what I can, but really we should try to get them outside where we don't risk so much collateral damage, I have a few tricks up my sleave to even things out I hope. If you'll excuse me I must get the wine. Percy should be loading it into the cart about now. I shall be back shortly."

Rivven stood in the center of the bar's floor, looking around, and headed over behind the actual bar itself, deciding the front desk is probably where Quintilius would probably either want to stand or put a servent behind. Rivven didn't like the idea of servents, even if they were completely acting on their own will, but he wouldn't let it become and issue. They didn't seem to be terribly troubled by working for Quintilius, so it must be different for them. He stood and checked over in his head before anyone showed up all the little aspects of his appearance he'd have seen to after clearing things up with Quin. His hair was combed, the coat was buttoned all the way up the high collar, and his clothes were straightened. That, should be enough. He didn't have his chain, that would've been nice to have as well, but he had the knife, and was more a weapon himself than both of those anyway. Everything was set. Now just to play his part and keep and ear and both eyes open.

Chantico had once again not lashed her steed, so it was free to roam. She old herself she should have learned how to come when she whistled, but calling it simply by the sound of her voice would have to do. Entering the bar, she looked around for familiar faces.

"Chanti." Quin called as he hurried up to her, "So glad you could make it, as you can see either promotions were horrible or your the first to arrive. Can I interest you in a drink, we do have a full bar and I'm sure Rivven would get you something non alcohalic if you asked."

"I'm happy to. I thought about what you said and this sounds like fun." she took a look at Rivven, guessing that must be him, and smiled. An interesting looking fellow. Perhaps she should walk with him tonight "Get me whatever you think is best."

"Really now, in that case then I would sugest the wine, you've had it before of course, but it is the best I can offer." Looking over to Rivven, "Why don't you break open a fresh cask, and please pour me a glass as well." Quin watched the way Chanti looked at Rivven. Better keep those two out of talks of morality. he thought to himself as he mused over if the trap would work.

Cloud had been taking a stroll along the streets when she heard the conversations eminating from the bar. "Could be worth it. . ."
Pushing open the door, she made her way to the bar.
"Hello."

Quin turned at the sound of a familar voice, grinning, "Cloud, drinking buddy of mine, come in, come in, have a drink, I think tonight may be the night we can get our victim. Its been a while since we set our sites but now we have the chance to fire true."

Cloud grinned evily and giggled softly at him. "Sounds like a good plan to me indeed." She rested her arms on the bar. "Hm, what do I feel like tonight?"
