Sinric has been exploring the library and is curled up by the fire with a jug of warm mead and several books on magic.

He seems very intent on finding something but is utterly botherable. Especially if you can help him with his research.

Moist hates being cold, because cold seeps in if given the chance. When he enters, his coat is up around his ears and he sighs at the warmth. He's dressed in his hard working clerk tweed suit and has been feeling all of the worn parts of late.

The job will make it worth it but for now, he's going to the fire and ordering an Ankh-Morkpork Times, a coffee with liquor in it he learned about here and some proper pastries. The news is always useful, finding out what's making everyone mad and where the important people are, the society gossip even mentions where the rich spend their vacations or are investing.

It is one of the faults of made things, that they require care and upkeep to sustain. This is true for everything, from the least-used blade in a chef's collection to great, complex magic systems that sustain worlds.

The fact also holds true for musical instruments.

There isn't music coming from the bar's piano this evening, just the methodical testing of individual keys and the faint sounds from within the body of the instrument as each note is tuned. Yrael cleaned the interior of the piano earlier, and the dust is already fading from the otherwise spotless white of his attire. Now, the faint discrepancies between pitches are being corrected with all the care and attention Yrael has to give. Sitting upon the piano bench with his eyes closed, the pale man presses his long fingers to the keys to gently test an octave, a tuned note against its twin an octave higher. A faint discrepancy. Standing, Yrael makes the slight adjustment to the tension of a wire within the body of the piano, and tests the octave again.

Ah. Better.
