"Thank you, all of you," Xenophon and Kirke say to the three of them. "We owe you so much."
Artemesia grunts. "Not a matter of owing. Been when you are, just paying it forward."
"The world isn't fair, or just, but that does not absolve those who live in it of the responsibility to try and make it so," Kreyu says quietly. She rubs against Skellig again. "Is the House of the Setting Sun still in operation?" she asks Artemesia.
Artemesia cackles. "Oh, aye, their patrons have too much influence to let anyone shut the place down. Bit rich for my purse, but they'll spoil your Sokratis proper. Maybe you too, although I doubt they've had a talking moggy for a customer before."
