[quote=Quill][color=ba576c]"So Ms. Adel, you say you have a problem and it involves this Varnan Ingram? Why don't you tell me what's going on and what you need from me."[/color][/quote]

Lorenza graciously took a seat, ensuring the door was closed behind her. Her parasol remained firmly low over her, hiding her face from Quill. From the sound of her voice, though, she gave the picture of ease.

[color=916BB4][b]“I realize you're busy, Miss Sebastien, so I won't take up too much of your time.”[/b][/color]

One knee crossed over the other as she settled in her seat. In the briefest of moments, wisps of Blue Lux wafted over Quill, hitting an invisible barrier before disappearing entirely. Lorenza appeared to nod to herself.

[color=916BB4][b]“Ah, good. So I can be frank with you, after all.”[/b][/color]

She was, of course, referring to the Emotional-Field Quill possessed, indicating what Lorenza suspected - the Fixer indeed was an Adept.

A soft sigh.[color=916BB4][b]“I'll start from the beginning. I… [i]own[/i] certain areas in town. Recently, some [i]savages[/i], monsters, if you will, have begun disrupting my work. I need to know exactly who, where they came from, and why they're in the city now, competing with me. And, I would need you to fix my problem… As in, getting them out of the city, one way or another.”[/b][/color]

There was a slight twist in Lorenza's grip as she softly spun the parasol, glass beads swishing gently.

[color=916BB4][b]“I know of a man who… well, as far as my sources are aware, prides himself on being aware of threats in the city. That's Mr. Ingram. I believe he would be the best lead for you to get a start on fixing my problem.”[/b][/color]

A pause, before Lorenza leaned forward ever so slightly. [color=916BB4][b]“I would request… after you've spoken with him, of course - that you would allow me to accompany you in your investigation. I have a strong desire to… well, understand why they're coming into the city. I would be lying if I said I didn't want to, perhaps… [i]talk[/i] with them.”[/b][/color]

A hand shuffled around in a purse, before she procured an envelope, offering it to Quill. If Quill were to look inside, she would find $10,000 in crisp bills. The sound of a smile was once again colouring Lorenza's voice.

[color=916BB4][b]“A small deposit, so you are aware of my earnestness. We can discuss the remainder of your service fee, as well as any questions you may have for me. As long as you can go along with my stipulation - accompanying you later in the investigation - then I would be very much pleased.

“Of course, I would humbly request that you consider taking on my case, Miss Sebastien. It would mean the world to me, you see…”[/b][/color]
