[Yes, a coastal vacation cleverly disguised as work. This has nothing to do with casually flitting out of the immediate reach of the Gallows should the quiet rumor—which she'd been passed by one of the laundry girls and then confirmed for herself by delicately rifling through some less than public papers—that a rescue party has been raised to pursue two missing members of Riftwatch.
Marcus and Julius aren't her concern. It's the fact that they haven't simply disappeared, mysteriously never to be seen or heard from again which is. That means something has gone wrong, and it would be best to arrange for a thumb's breadth of distance in her favor until it's clear what it is and that it means to fly over her head.
Likely it will. This is hardly the first time she's sniffed something rotten on the air and made herself scarce. No, they will have a grand time meandering off to Ostwick. They will make a little money there, or maybe lose a little which is sometimes more pleasant.]
I'll save you a slice of standing room at the theater should you finish your work early. The shit one in Lowtown. Not the one with the good boxes. Otherwise, the stables tomorrow first thing.
