"Whoremasters're th'most exactin', an' they'll chase ye further'n a taxman should ye cheat 'em. That's what's said."Â
Her grin blossomed again and she sat back, her friendly disposition returning as she chuckled. "As I said, I'll be largely out of the city for the next two weeks. A personal matter. You find what information you can and we can meet here again in two weeks time. I'll arrange through Clove." She turned to the man, her brow lifting as if to gain his permission first.
"If you find something threatening to the immediate safety of any of my employees, contact me at once. Clove has our pearl. If you can nullify the issue before I call in my people, I can guarantee three times your hazard and trouble pay."
She nodded before finishing her wine and standing, "Zhavi, I pray business favors both of us. Clove, it was wonderful to see you, love." She moved to him, wrapping him in a hug and placing a kiss on each of his cheeks with a smile. Her hand moved to her belt and she lifted a coinpurse from its tether, placing it into Clove's hand. "Enjoy your evening." Her motion and voice were sincere.
She gave a slight wink to the man as she walked away leaving him with enough coin to entertain a handful of sailors with a weekend of shore leave.
