Glamour seals the deal, the motley left to ponder when the debts would be called.
The eye squints at the rest, before the chains rattle, and the safe slowly starts to lift in the clicking and clanging. "This meeting has been a nice break from the monotony! Safe travels, courtiers of Las Vegas, and I shall be around..."
The Broker frowns, "And the Ogre?"
"Right. Right! Pick him up where you saw him. The lift will bring you there, of course."
The pleased chuckling was a repeating track, echoing through the chamber.

Riley's shoulders relaxed as the team moved away from the Goblin king's chambers. An audible sigh left the darkling as they no longer needed to keep up the balancing act.
"Well, that could have gone worse," they say with a soft chuckle. Then, glancing back at Archie, who looked a bit jumpy, a gentle frown of concern before addressing the others.
"I have some business in the market before we leave and grab Grendel...none of us should be alone in the market. Do any of you have business to attend?"

Gavin was lightning in a bottle in the lift. The Goblin King had placed him on edge threatening to confine or maim him. The quest pledge vaguely comforted the Beast: the threats weren't in the elevator. It was a semblance of peace that didn't show for much in his expression.
With a heavy controlled exhale he tried to shake off the worst of the adrenaline blasting through his system.
Riley, having broken the silence, got a slow haunted nod in acknowledgement.
"Thank you for the backup in there," he offered the others with sincerity.
Turning to Archie, "I'd gotten so focused on cutting down the magnitude of the goblin's ask, and the wild call to violence I was trying to ignore, I forgot about putting reasonable limits on the work." He moves to place a hand on the Chatelain's shoulder, but balked partway at the natural reflex. Redirecting his awkwardness he offered some heartfelt words, "Really, thanks mate. You might have saved my ass from something truly unpleasant."
When the others began mentioning additional business Gavin waited for an opportunity to inform the others of his intentions. "I have a couple of things to do here as well. Summer is looking for a line on reliably sourced fruit. I've got to get a couple of acceptable payment options lined up for the Summer quartermaster to choose from. Then there is the personal project. I'd like to check if the Market has one of the mementos torn from me on my escape from There and what they're wanting for it if they do. Any chance I could get some help with the negotiations? I can hang out and be menacing where required for your business, and you know, point you away from the perils of the wrong alleyways."

“Agreed,” Wayland voices, when Riley wisely notes that they shouldn’t wander on their own. She’ll certainly stay with the group, and try to discourage anyone from splitting off.
Gavin’s agenda is naturally appealing to her, as it’s aimed at assisting her Court. “I don’t think there’s much I can do to help,” she tells him. “But I’m up for trying.”
She turns back to Riley, “Anything that could further my hedgespinning practices. Ingredients, tools, recipes. Maybe an actual Token, if it’s useful enough, or I could learn something from it.”
