After returning and sitting down for tea, Aetrius began to ask about what happened between them earlier. Linde's cheeks flushed slightly, and she put her tea in her lap. With one hand, she reached up and cupped Aetrius' cheek, giving it a stroke with her thumb. The smile she gave Aetrius was warm and obviously passionate. There would be no mistaking the look in her eyes.

She used her thumb to gently brush Aetrius' lips, and then brought that same thumb to her mouth and kissed it, giving Aetrius a wink followed by a cute chuckle.

"What happened earlier... I think was meant to be." She said softly.

She put her hand on Aetrius'.

"We can discuss it more tonight before we go to sleep."

It was then that Lonan was invited in, and he sat down and immediately started on asking about sharing all they'd learned today.

"Yes, an auction. Kyero would know more about these auctions than I do. I've only heard of them in passing, and never in deeper discussion before. Perhaps we should-"

The knock password came at the door, and Linde opened it allowing Kyero to enter. His eyes were somber and his face equally so as he walked in and took a seat next to Lonan.

"Kyero? Is everything all right?"

Kyero shook his head.

"Okumi's trail went cold at the Passion's Paradise Trade Master establishment. No signs, and nobody would talk... Nobody."

His hands clenched on his knees.

"Short of killing them all, I tried every technique I know to get something out of them. But nothing... I have to give them all credit for their devotion to what they do."

Linde was incredibly sad to hear this and dipped her head slightly.

"Okumi... Please be safe out there." She whispered.

Kyero looked up.

"I heard you talking about Kieran and an auction as I approached the door. I presume you wish to know what I know about them?"

Linde looked up and gave him a nod.

"Unfortunately, I don't know a whole lot. I only know that they take place at locations designated by the Slave Master of the city the auction takes place in. And as far as I was able to find, the Slave Master's identity in this city remains uniden-"

Kyero's eyes widened slightly, and a bead of sweat dripped from his temple.

"What is it Kyero?"

Kyero's face lost a bit of its color.

"Remember the ex-Te'i Sai member I mentioned?... I believe it's him."

Linde gasped.

"It makes sense. He spoke of his business enduring even if he was gone. And if he's a Slave Master, so long as he's set his business up the right way it will function without him. That, and he was unafraid to lose what became now ex-business partners. A Slave Master has no 'partners,' they have puppets. And puppets are always expendable."

"If it is him, how do you propose we go about finding out about his auction?"

Kyero clenched his fists on his knees.

"... Lonan. How well can you play the part of a slave-owning Noble?" He asked.
