| | | "...so I'm looking for your advice on how to handle this," Blue concluded to H, the owner of the Tails magazines, and Bhusaran who stood for him in all things related to the local law and the Jarl.

H looked to Bhusaran, who indicated no particular opinion on the matter.

"Of course," H responsed, "any found money from a crime should be turned over to the Jarl."

"Of course... if it's definitely from Dahleena," agreed Bhusaran, "You're sure it's her stash?"

"Pretty sure. I mean, who else would have left it?" Blue replied.

Bhusaran perked up, "So you're NOT sure it's hers? Is that what you're saying?" | | | "I don't... I mean, I THINK..." Blue stammered.

"What she's saying is NO, she found some gold, but she doesn't know who left it there," Muz-Ra interjected, understanding Bhusaran's unvoiced implication.

"That's what I THOUGHT she said," Bhusaran smiled.

"Oh... OH! I get it!" Blue burst out, turning to Muz-Ra

"Get what?" said H with a frown, "There's nothing to get. Is there?"

"NO!" declared Blue, Muz-Ran and Kitty simultaneously.

| | | "So, congratulations on your newfound wealth Blue. What do you think you'll do with it?" H asked innocently.

Blue took a moment to consider, then replied hesitantly, "Well, I'd like to help out those who were most hurt by the murders I think."

"That's very kind of you Blue." smiled Bhusaran, genuinely moved by Blue's charity.

Blue went on, "Yes... Arabhi and Sabhira are gone, but I'd like to give it to Milahme and Udaran I think," confirmed Blue. | | | Kitty interjected for her friend, "You should at least keep a little for yourself Blue. You did find it after all."

"I... I don't really want any. It seems somehow wrong," Blue protested.

"Well, why don't you go tell them," suggested Bhusaran, "However, I do advise you don't tell anyone else."

"Yes, that amount of gold is troublesome. Best keep this quiet," agreed H.

"I will. Thanks H, Bhusaran. You're always great advisors," Blue said, almost bowing. | | | H proposed, "After that, I advise you to find Ubergard and have her escort you to retrieve it and we'll keep it safe in our vault."

"That's totally up to you of course, Blue. But you need to keep it safe. We can help you with that - if you trust us," added Bhusaran

"Of course I do!", Blue insisted, "And thanks again!" The three turned to go. | | | Kitty sighed, "Well, that's that. I guess it's the right thing to do though."

Muz-Ra proclaimed, "It's the PERFECT thing to do. Good idea Blue, giving it to Milahme and Udaran."

"Yeah. I'm feeling better about it already. I guess we'd better go tell them."

Kitty sighed again, imagining other scenarios but accepting that they just weren't going to happen. | | | Quietly to H, Bhusaran asked, "Are you really going to let them keep it all?"

"Bhusaran, don't you know me better by now? I may be sharp when dealing with our suppliers, distributors or the authorities, but the girls are our bread and butter. I'd never do anything to cheat them. We make plenty on the Tails. Far better to keep the girls happy," responsed H, somewhat suprised that Bhusaran would question his motives.

"Ok, but if the Jarl finds out, he'll be furious," observed Bhusaran

"Then it's our job to make sure he doesn't find out." | | | |
