Call to Campanella

[Knot]

Stepping outside the Athenaeum, Knot stands in the Common Yard to make a call to Campanella Yumyumcrow

While he waits for the connection, he looks back at the wing where the Athenaeum resides, and chews at his lip.

[Campanella]

Campanella is in his well appointed home. In his well appointed kitchen; seated at his well appointed table.

He is relaxing with a delightful little meal he made for himself - not quite a salad, but fitting for the time of year - with a glass of red in his hand. Soft classical music plays in the background and he is leaning back in his seat, simply chilling out.

The phone chimes.

Campanella tries to ignore it.

The phone chimes again.

Reluctantly, he answers. Frowning slightly.

"Yes?"

[Knot]

"Sir. It's Knot. I apologize for calling so late. We sort of met awhile back. I've..."

He pauses.

"Well, I've stumbled into a Thorny situation with Epitaph in our wing earlier tonight. I have... some concerns that I can't talk about over the phone. It's something that I'm not equipped to handle, considering my position. I'd appreciate it if you could come and apply some of your Wisdom and expertise to the situation?"

[Campanella]

And Campanella freezes, his mind turning back to a conversation in a book store.

And the seed of doubt.

"This is too complicated a matter to talk over the phone. Where are you now?"

[Knot]

"The Common Yard."

No need to say where the Common Yard was, he hoped.

[Campanella]

"I shall be there shortly"

Go ahead and open a scene or something

[Knot]

"Sir."

Knot hangs up.
