Fresh Wind

[alt_poppy]

I've arrived here at the top of the world, or so it feels. It takes a bit of adjustment, living at altitude, but the topic of this course is stimulating. A breath of fresh air, indeed.

We've another two days of lecture and demonstration before we strike out to do our own research into the processes of hypothermia on a rough trek. It promises to be a quite challenging exercise.

Order Only

Pomona and I have arranged for hot stew and dumplings, if you're feeling up to it. Take the Floo back down and you can have a lie-down before the afternoon session.

She told you Stint's attempt to join in the fun at the pub was roundly resisted? I've a feeling we'll see him back tonight, though, so you and Pomona had best go up straight after supper.

I've a feeling that if I'm in the taproom by myself, he'll try his luck.

do you need any help keeping an eye on things?

Wouldn't say no to a strapping lad who can run Stint off if need be.

It'd give credence to my planned rebuff, anyway.

all right.

I can spare a few days.

Order Only: Private Message to Frank

Righty-ho. Give me a chance to ask you a thing or two about our Terry.

Oh, incidentally, I'm disguised as Ellie, and we've given out that she's Pomona's grand-niece.

Stint imagines himself a ladies' man and I caught him giving me the eye a bit last night. Fancy playing the jealous boyfriend? I think it might give us just the excuse we need to get him alone and discover what harm he means to do Poppy.

had a conversation or three with the kid, so I can fill you in on where his head is right now.

ricky might do for a disguise. fin might be a bit too intimidating.
