Ostiarum
Friar Balvaris looked at Melandra in surprise. He had not seen the woman in a while and could smell the alcohol in her breath.
"Of course, my dear. I'm on my way back to the Rectory. Maybe you can join me for a meal." he offered thinking that she probably needed some food to soak up whatever booze she had been gulping.
As they walked towards the Misty Ward, the Friar wondered what she could want. Wondering if she was here for a private matter or on behalf of the Duke.

Friar Balvaris was likely one of the few people in the settlement that knew Melandra Avalloc was an agent to Lord Commander Stoneshade. A most effective one for all purposes.

"What can I do for you?" he asked looking at the flamboyant woman.
