[rezni]

I've a question for you, Robin, if you have the time.

[energeia]

Of course. How can I help you?

[rezni]

You've kept your job at the barber's, yes? How has business fared?

[energeia]

That's right.

We've had fewer people coming in since the beginning of the month. [ She assumes the reason for it is behind his asking. ] But we're hoping this will change after the tournament; Lady Alicent kindly invited us to provide our services to the participants.

[rezni]

That's good of her. I'd be very appreciative to have your services before I compete.

[ However— ]

Would you mind if I asked after the number of clients you have who don't name themselves Blackguards?

[energeia]

Off the top of my head? [ A little disbelief in the implied smile, but no criticism. ] I could ask Boris, if you'd like.

May I ask what this is about? Is something happening?

[rezni]

Of course. Are you at work at this moment, or can you entertain a visitor?

[energeia]

I'm still at work, but I can meet you in... [ Let her check, ] Two hours, if that won't be too late for you?

[rezni]

Two hours suits me. If you come to the barn alongside the tavern, I could entertain you there.

[energeia]

[ The sun is setting when she arrives at their meeting place, looking for Nikolai outside. If he's nowhere to be seen, she'll knock at the door. ]
