However, she becomes inebriated from the meal and has to rest. Lawrence, meanwhile, visits a local tavern to gather information and learns from the barmaid Helena that the entire town is on edge while the governing Council of Fifty deliberates how the fur trade will proceed. After dinner with Holo, Lawrence goes to talk with the innkeeper Arold Ecklund but is interrupted by the arrival of the mysterious cloaked stranger, who introduces herself as Eve Boland. She and Lawrence briefly chat, and she invites him to talk further if their interests coincide.
