An old hobo strides in after throwing the locks open, and locks up carefully after. Balaban doesn't even bother removing his disguise as he looks around, scouring the room with bright eyes. "I'd say a celebratory drink is in order!" He opens the cabinet and gets out glasses and drink. (5 notice for me)

"Ha! When aren't you drunk? In seriousness, however, did all go smoothly? I lost contact with you all near the end." "From what I could tell, yes. It's not like this is anything new to us. We aren't novices. Why?" "Because I'm paranoid. Humor me." He eyes Balaban carefully as he enters. "A drink doesn't sound awful."
(5 on Notice as well)

(5 on Notice as well) He huffs and rolls his eyes. "We should be fine. Not like we will be around here for much longer." He goes to make himself a drink because he didn't trust the others to make his drink strong enough.

Kaia pops in and upon seeing everyone ok nearly breaks down sobbing. "I am so glad you are all ok! I was so worried for all of you!" She turns to Balaban "first things first you should get cleaned up. You are liable to catch the pox if you stay like that!"

You know I hate it when a woman cries."

Last time we had a very similar argument about wet dockworker clothes and you just rolled your eyes and were out for a week with pneumonia! Off with it! (Empathy +7)

She turns to Balaban "first things first you should get cleaned up. You are liable to catch the pox if you stay like that!" Orthos smiles at her as she walks in. "Aye. Good to see you well. Balaban will be alright, he's young." He shakes his head, dismissing more dour thoughts. "For now, everyone, I think celebrating a job well done is an extravagance we can afford, this night."
He goes to his footlocker and spends about 15 seconds fiddling with the multifarious locks and chains keeping it closed, finally opening it and retrieving a small dark wooden chest that smells faintly of spices, which he places on the table. "I've been saving this for a special occasion. Laskaris, don't steal anyone else's portion, ha!"

"Stereotyping as always..." Balaban mutters. "Not all bums are disease ridden fleabags." He pulls off the ragged robes and ragged wig and begins rubbing the beard away with a strongly smelling concoction. He shakes out his medium length blond hair. Slowly the beard and make up melt off to reveal a surprisingly handsome face. He stores the beard carefully.

"Remember now, celebrating is just fine but don't forget moderation! Or I am going to be taking care of you all tomorrow!" (This is an open threat that is terrifying.)

"Please don't make such a threat. It's not very ladylike."

Orthos smiles warmly at her, opening the cask to reveal a small selection of rare vintage wines and import liquors. He pours a small glass of a very fine Neriisian red and offers it to her. "I appreciate the concern, Kaia. We will take care of ourselves."

Balaban smirks a little and raises his eyebrows. "Thanks Laskaris."

"Balaban! Gotta say, the bearded looks works for you! Makes you look more... expirienced." She chuckles while eyeing the alchohol.
