"Don't sweat it," said Harvey in response as the Brewer apologized for his late arrival. "Alright, since it seems that we are all in the clear, let's head inside." With those words, he pointed to the store across the street. "Just make sure you don't touch anything inside...especially anything that's fragile," added the Sun Banisher as he began to lead the way across the street.
Once there, he knocked on the front door of Treastured three times and waited for a response.

The music coming from inside the store came to a sudden stop as Harvey knocked on the door. After a couple of minutes, the delicate frame of the Winter Queen could be seen through the front window of the store. As she saw the Sun Banisher with some other Lost outside, she unlocked the door and opened it. "Good evening Gentlemen," said Katrin to the group, stepping slightly to the side to let them in. "Please, come on in, no?" She gestured for them to come inside the store, locking the door behind them once they had all stepped through.
"I take it this is not a simple house call, yes?" said the Fairest to the group as a whole, her eyes meeting Harvey's for a quick moment.

When everyone arrives Alec just nods as a greeting. It seems his fellow Lost don't use a lot of words here.
'Not me.' Surely the Woodblood would have noticed being followed.
Then the knock, and the Queen of Winter. She seems polite, so far...
'Good evening Miss Byeli.' Even while avoiding titles outside, there's no doubt he respects her. Then Alec will follow the others inside.

Perry followed Harvey along, emerald eyes scanning to and fro as he goes. He's nervous and sort of excited to actually meet Katrin. He'd met the other three Sovereigns, but the beautiful Queen of Winter had yet eluded him. There were advantages to meeting her today, though. It was always nice to bring good news.
He nodded respectfully to Katrin. "Ma'am," the lawyer said by way of pleasant greeting. If he had had a hat, he would've tipped it.
Once they were allowed in, he would follow her inside.

Magnus bows his head respectfully and enters the shop with the others. He smiles only slightly. "No," he says in answer to her question. It was good to be finally able to bring her news on their search. Perhaps it would be enough, perhaps not.

John stays silent, letting Harvey do the talking, and introductions if he feels it necessary. Katrin's beauty and presence, not to mention the context of the antique shop, makes him feel he should rely on formality and not speak until spoken to.
In recognition of her status, however, he does direct a shallow bow to the Winter Queen.

Harvey offered his Queen a respectful bow before stepping inside the store. Once inside the Sun Banisher greeted Katrin in a proper fashion. "Good evening Queen Byeli," he said to the beautiful Fairest. "We have some information for you regarding the Hedge weed problem." He paused for a moment, casting a quick glance at Perry before continuing. "Mr. diCarto was able to arrange a meeting with a Lost that calls himself the Samoan, and he came to an agreement with him to stop selling his product in Sacramento," said Harvey before nodding towards the other Shadowsoul so he could explain things further to the Onyx Queen.

Katrin nodded at the Sun Banisher's words. "These are good news, yes?" she said, pleased with their success. The Treasured gestured to some chairs in the back of the store, inviting the group to join her. "Shall we sit to discuss this matter further? Please, follow me and make yourselves comfortable, no?" With those words, she lead them to the back of the store, where they could see the source of the dim light being an antique floor lamp.
Once they were all seated she turned her attention to Perry. "Mr. diCarto, would you please go into further detail about this arrangement you have made?" asked the Winter Queen, gesturing for him to speak up.

When offered a seat, Perry gave the Queen a slight smile. "Please," he said in reply, accepting it gratefully. It had been a long night thus far.
Once they were all seated and Katrin had asked him for more details, he nodded, happy to explain. "Yes, of course, Queen Byeli. Once we determined he was a Lost, a pledge became a negotiable option. In the end, we pledged that for a year and a day, he would not sell his wares in the Sacramento area. In exchange, I would provide him with pro bono criminal defence services if he was to find himself in trouble with the law."
It was too bad that a guy like the Samoan was taking up a pro bono slot on Perry's docket. But all in all, it could have been worse.
