[ There's a lot of them in the Mouse House, currently, outsiders. Wrathion feels as if he stands out in a whole host of awkward ways -- mannerisms, dress, accent. He's tried to... dress down, at least, but he has standards.
He also has the close attention of a lot of the children, having previously offered them rewards for information. Clearly they expect more potential rewards, and some of them are... lacking the hoped-for subtlety. He attempts to work his way through them, idly catching the hand of one he suspects is reaching for his pockets and moving it on.
He grew up in a guild of thieves and assassins, you have to be faster that that kid. ]
Ma'am Mariol, a moment of your time if you don't mind. Your children here tell me that a man in white visited here some years ago, very pale. Do you recall?
Ma'am Mariol, post Unwinding, will try to keep it short!
