Cettish,Squadfather44 The Butler's relief is obvious as Elias changes his mood after seeing Claire. He simply bows and leaves the drawing room, giving the two of you the opportunity to catch up after the time spent apart.
Claire would know where the library is, of course, but before you decide to move anywhere else...
OOC:
We are rolling for the "tavern scene" so I thought maybe you guys can also test the system? Let's say someone may or not be hiding and you will roll "perception" ;)
I'll consider
the sum of your successes for this, so I'll make it harder (more
stakes to cross). But first, tell me what do you hope to accomplish and you fear might go wrong?

As Nathaniel watches Alexander walk up to the Farmer, he notices how his cousin blends so easily with the lower classes, something he himself would find troublesome to do. The Farmer puts his mug on the table as soon as he realizes that Alexander is
actually coming over.
"Thank you my lord" he bows thankful both for the ale and the compliment.
"We don't see one of the family around often. Hell! we don't see any since when y..." he stops talking as he notices one of the others gesturing. He looks nervously at Alexander, clearly noticing this is not the sort of gossip (or language!) to be had in the presence of a Rookwood.
However, the way he looked at you gives you the feeling that it was something you were involved with, so it must have been years ago! If your Grandmother has indeed been busy, it was probably not in Town, which could explain the weirdness in people's expressions whenever you mentioned her. The Farmer quickly changes subject, turning to the others as if he just had a realization
"Maybe it is not a coincidence the Knights are here ..." he stops for a moment to think.
"I thought they were here to put a stop to the rumors about the forest no?" his face and voice change to that of a very pious man; a change that seems too abrupt to Alexander, maybe even practiced.
"God forbid us from believing all that non-sense of course."
As in every small town, you notice there are plenty of rumors going around. Unfortunately, the men don't have the time to stay and chat all day and excuse themselves as they have to get back to the land.
"We wish your good grandmother a fast recovery and will pray for her" he adds before leaving, clearly misunderstanding what Alexander meant by the "
was ill"

As Roderick’s old arthritic fingers begin to pull the book of your choice, he notices that there are a few gaps between a few books. Not that many, so probably one the staff members just moved them to the wrong place. Roderick picks
Les Fleurs du Mal, a controversial book that only a powerful family such as his could keep, given the immorality and decadence of the scenes described in this so called "work of poetry". The old man slowly move deeper into the library, still thinking about the displaced books for some reason you feel like he should remember which ones these were...
OOC:
I'll say the same as for the Riverlight players. Maybe this is a good opportunity to test rolling?
