“Oh my! Are you here with the delivery already?”
“I hadn’t expected you so soon! But where are my manners? Magnolia Reinhart, at your service! You are the City Runner I’ve been expecting, yes?”
“Oh. Of course. Seals. It’s been so long since I—I’d completely forgotten. Please come in while I fetch it.”
“Oh, don’t worry about that. I have plenty of servants who can deal with little stains. Please, come in, come in!”
“Now, where did they put the seal? Normally, I’d leave this all up to my [Head Maid], Ressa, but I just knew it was my delivery. Hm…hmm…here!”
“Thank you very much, Miss Runner! Are you new to the region? I confess, I haven’t seen you around before, and I make it a point to get to know the best City Runners in the area.”
“Beautiful, isn’t it?”

“Please tell the Guild that I’m very happy with their efficiency.”
“Well, I suppose—but no, I don’t believe I need—well, at the moment no, but it would be a shame too—no. I suppose not.”
“Won’t you stay and have a glass? I would hate to send you on your way without a little reward.”
“Then at least take this gift for your trouble. No, no! I insist.”
“Oh, do shut up, Ressa. You scared her off. Bare feet? Well, I have met her. Now, let’s see about entertaining Pryde, and if she disparages this drink, I shall toss it in her face.”
