*Merriman is ensconced at a table near the bar, alternately sipping from a glass of brandy and perusing one of several newspapers spread out before him. He happens to be reading the Times (London) at the moment, but the headlines of all the papers say essentially
the same thing.*
*Not coincidentally, he might have a few pieces of what appears to be confetti stuck in his hair.*
[OOC Summary: In which Merriman discusses Nita's health with Peach and is asked to speak to Will and Bran about her, talks of stories with the Beast, and attempts to explain an Old One's place in Time to Gwion.]
