[ Definitely sounds like a bootycall, but he's been getting better with putting up his guards whenever around Mary. Not that she made him uncomfortable or anything, but around her, he feels like anything could happen. ]
I'm not talking about the auctions at the semi-annual Pet/Retainer Conference, but the illegal ones. The ones the Market has in between those, where they auction off mongrels they've drugged, captured and forced into pet servitude. Illegally.
Those are the kind I want information on. I know they're happening. Can you find out for me?
I'm not too welcome around the more heavily guarded areas, nor am I privy to more sensitive information... but perhaps I can sniff around for some clues.
Nothing complicated. While our "arrangement" is wonderful and all, I'd like a little help with something else entirely. I'm doing a little side project of my own– a little stake-out in Diedo. Know anyplace I can hole up for a few days?
[ Fortunately, no. Something probably a little lowkey, and perhaps something she wouldn't approve of? He's not entirely sure. ]
Anyplace is fine, preferably someplace inconspicuous. As long as it's discreet, and the building has plenty of exits... if you know of anyplace like that.
Hmm... [Mary thought over a few places that had been abandoned the last time she'd done a patrol in Deido. It was a while ago, though.]
I can think of a couple, but I'll need to double check that they're available before pointing you toward them. They could have gotten some squatters since I was last there.

Henry? I'm here. Do you want a drink?
no subject
Date: 10/7/16 10:22 pm (UTC)Please.
[ Something tells him this isn't a bootycall, though. ]
I take it you've been well.

Date: 10/11/16 02:05 am (UTC)[Mary came over with two glasses in hand. She settled down on the couch, crossing her legs, and held a glass out to Henry.]
I need you to find me some very specific information: when and where the next pet auction is.

Date: 10/12/16 08:59 pm (UTC)Glad you’re better.
[ Taking the glass, he seats himself on the other couch next to her, leaning forward to rest his elbows on his knees. ]
Do they not start on the same time and place?

I'm afraid I won't be able to just exchange favors for this particular plot.

Speaking of which, are you?
no subject
Date: 10/25/16 12:21 pm (UTC)If you ask me nicely. And I'm done with my drink.
is it ok if we just end here and hand-wave the sexy scenes?
Date: 11/1/16 02:02 am (UTC)No rush. I'll be sure to make a very polite inquiry after.
Please! I'm swamped.
