Teja is in the bar, playing his harp, and waiting whether some that he would speak with, show themselves.

Two in particular he hopes to see; and both are women.-

[slayer_fray]

One is Mel, we assume, and she's just coming down from the guest quarters after a night of patroling.

She sees Teja, and raises an eyebrow in acknowledgment, not quite smiling.

Coffee aquired, and she's joining him.

[ostro_goth]

"Greetings, Melaka Fray," Teja says, nodding to her. "I would need to speak to you -- may we do it here, or should we take ourselves to the office?"

[slayer_fray]

Mel starts to shrug, then changes her mind, before she's even sat down.

"Office works for me. You good?"

[ostro_goth]

Teja puts down his harp, and gets up.

"Yes," he says. "One may never know who waits behind the back of a couch."

He takes a mug of tea, and one of coffee, from the bar, though.

[coreenfennel]

Here's a woman that he wasn't looking for, but...here she is.

Coreen is curled up not too far away from the harp. It's very pleasant.

"Hello Teja," she says.

[ostro_goth]

"Greetings, Coreen Fennel," Teja says. "One assumes you already had your child?"

[coreenfennel]

She nods, "Back in June. He's hibernating, like Joe is. I'm waiting for them to wake again. Should be soon...so, you're the newest Security member, right? Has...anything come more about the vampire?"

[ostro_goth]

"How do you know that?" Teja says, displeased at being found out so easily.

[vs_nuggan]

Shufti may not be who Teja is looking for, but she's come over.

"Teja." She nods in greeting.

[ostro_goth]

"Greetings, Shufti," Teja says. "Would you take some tea with me, so we may quietly speak of business?"

[vs_nuggan]

"Yes, thank you." Shufti sits down.

"I don't have news, I'm afraid, but I see you've made an arrest." she says quietly.

[ostro_goth]

"He was gibbering on the floor before Guppy," Teja says, "as he is scared of Guppy's child, and loses his mind upon seeing him. We could not leave him there."

Pause.

"And I spoke to Melaka Fray; we shall keep him at least a month, and pretend to keep him indefinitely, until he speaks to Malcolm, and perhaps even tells us who paid him."

[sonofwhitecity]

Boromir is definitely not a woman, and probably not someone who Teja was expecting to see, but nonetheless there he is, bowing his head in greeting when he recognizes the Ostrogoth.

"Greetings, Teja son of Tagila. It has been some time."

[ostro_goth]

"Boromir of Gondor!" Teja says. "I have not seen you in a long, long while!"

[sonofwhitecity]

"It has." There is one of those infrequent smiles on Boromir's face, the kind that makes him look a little less grim, a little less burdened. The way he could have been if things had turned out different at Amon Hen. It's good to see Teja again, this man from another world who almost feels like a kinsman to him.

"I have been focused more... Inwards than is usual for me. I suppose it might have been the melancholy of Winter. But now I feel the need to be a part of..." There is a brief pause, and an almost amused arching of his eyebrows.

"Life, so to speak."

[ostro_goth]

"What else should we call our afterlife?" Teja says, somewhat amused. "It is a life, in many a way: - a life that fighting men like us never had!"
