The hollow commons emptys pretty quickly, especially with Mr Bates and Mrs Rosemary ushering the remaining changelings out. Mr Bates and Mrs Rosemary clear away the buffet and set the table in the middle of the commons whilst waiting for the Winter Queen to arrive.
They had just finished placing the last chair around the table when Katrin walked back into the hollow commons. Mr Bates hands her the key just before he leaves with Mrs Rosemary (Who happened to place drinks and a small selection of what was left from the buffet in the middle).
The doors are closed and locked behind them.
Katrin takes a seat at the table. "I have had the situation explained to me. However it might help to hear the facts from the three of you." She said calmly.
