A few nights later...
The gnome sits at the table nursing a cup of watered wine while he ponders the reports in front of him. The curtain covering the doorway parts and a cloaked figure enters. He hangs the cloak on a hook and approaches the gnome. The light from a lantern on the table shows the figure to be a dark-kin. The gnome looks up. "Well what have you got for me?" he says brusquely. The dark-kin smirks and replies, "Need to work on those social skills Spurius, what would the Matriarch say?" "Enough of your jibes, report!" snaps the gnome. The dark-kin sighs, "Nothing to report sir, Tukufu exhibits no suspicious activity, although he did disappear from the shop some time back. Something about an expedition into nearby ruins. His behavior before and since is consistent, there's no sign of any contamination." The gnome frowns, "Keep up the surveillance, everybody has secrets and I want to know what his are. The Emerald Society has their hooks into him and you know how they are." His voice softens, "Good work though, go get some rest you've earned it. I have to finish reading these reports before sending in my own. Good night."
