The Land of Grimney - The Illustrated Adventures of Cora Pearl, aged 12

*Covers over the body with a cloak*.

Not sure this is the time or place for you to be selling your paintings young lady. Not sure you should be here at all. I'd heard the place was closed for a few weeks due to Bracewind being on holiday.

Oh I didn't realise....the door was open. My you're a very handsome man Are yer sure yer don't want to capture that handsome face on canvas before I go?

I painted one of Captain Stark. Do you know him? He paid me twice as much as I was asking he was so delighted!

Captain Stark. Yes. I did know him. A good man.

*He sighs*.

Someone must have broken in. Thank you for the compliment but it's not quite the time for a portrait painting. Although I am sure you have great talent.

Sharna's eyes fill with tears and her face drops

Oh alright mister, I'm going, I can see you're busy.

Bye

A little busy yes. I'm at work.

*He looks thoughtful*.

Wait. Contact me by letter at twenty five Richman Lane Toraz and I'll happily sit for a portrait.

Hello Bracewind, hello Gringor. Did you miss me?

*The mermaid smiles then glances behind her as the knight follows.*

Sorry about my companion, he thinks I am incapable of having a simple drink without being kidnapped. He promises to sit very quietly and not cause any trouble.
