Regina: (looking at me) "Why is he asking us here, darling?"

Me: "I'm not sure.  Maybe because we own the house anyway?

Regina: "Well, at any rate, he did tell me, Cire.  It's such a sad tale, the poor little thing.  Threw herself onto the sand at low tide to escape her loneliness and end it all.  The fishermen contacted Ibrahim when they found her.  He had to take her immediately to the clinic and convert the water therapy pool into a temporary recovery room while she got better.  We're having the west wing of the house redone, with the lower den serving as the viewing room with the aquarium floor as the ceiling.  And there are going to be glass channels going to all of the girls' rooms with a glass hatch in each so she can pop in and interact with them.  They're all so excited."

Me: "Duke Buchenwald offered to have his clan smiths redo the house.  I was glad, because it would have been staggeringly expensive."

Regina: "Ibrahim delivered the Duke's granddaughter and saved her and her mother's life."

Me: (shrugs) "It pays to have a powerful,  influential, wealthy, and grateful Dwarf in your debt."
