[ Medusa is a quiet Italian woman, always polite and gentle, but never taken advantage of. Rumor has it she was nobility, but took a fancy to that scary-looking Arthas fellow and ran away to be with him. She stays home and takes care of the house while he's off pirating, like a good little housewife. There are also rumors that horrible things happen to anyone who gets on her bad side, but why would you want to? She's sweet enough. ]

The comings and goings in this place are so hard to keep track of sometimes. I wonder if there's anyone around who might help me with a little project? The weather has taken its toll on this old house. I'd like to make some additions.

[ Private to Arthas ]

Arthas, dear, how goes our latest acquisition? I trust there weren't any difficulties?

The middle of construction is a bad time to cause a ruckus, though. I've plenty to pay for the supplies we'll need, even if we have to get creative to procure it.

Do what you must, but keep it quiet.

I shall do so. And perhaps ensure that I get something extra. I am afraid I happen to be rather light fingered.

I trust you'll do an excellent job. [ Yes, take your own bonus, that way it doesn't come out of her pocket! ]

[Barron rocks up quite a number of hours later, carrying some long pieces of wood and what looks like a very nice gold set of candlesticks.]

Ho! Is anyone about?

[ Medusa steps outside and closes the door behind her. She still has her old texts strewn about, and she doesn't want anyone else finding that treasure. ]

That was fast. I'm impressed.

[sharpememory]

I'm always fast. [Barron smiles, before dropping the planks to the ground. They'd been heavy. It had been a bit of a challenge to steal ones that weren't rotted. He holds out the candlesticks to Medusa.] I also brought you these.

[ She smiles ever so sweetly. ]

Oh, you shouldn't have! Those will look marvelous on the dining table.

It's not a problem. I just wanted to make sure that they ended up at a good home. [Barron looks just a little bit embarrassed about it. Time to get to work on the house!] Should I get started, then?

It was sweet of you to think of me.

[ She gives him a friendly pat on the shoulder. ]

If you'll go ahead and set up, I'll put these somewhere nice and get out the plans.
