D’hys sighed and waved Corvilis inside. While he figured the kid knew not to run his mouth with anyone around, D’hys still checked the hall with a quick glance in each direction before shutting the door. “Sit,” he ordered with a nod toward the chairs in his living room and then went to put away the rope as a stalling tactic so he could think while his guest stewed.
So he had been right that the man was there based on rumours but didn’t seem to know any specifics. If his only source was Narinoa, it made sense. He wouldn’t even know who Narinoa was if it hadn’t been for the help he provided to the small Ista class. D’hys had looked into everyone that was closely tied to that clutch, ensuring the best people were taking care of those dragons. Narinoa’s background was beastcraft and it didn’t seem like he had a bad past. The only things that were somewhat noteworthy were the man was a complete whore a normal day and had been addicted to a sex drug for a while. Nothing that remarkable and he seemed to stay sober when examining the dragons so it didn’t earn him a visit from an angry bluerider.
“What makes you think I’m in need of a card shark? I’m not much for the hustle these days,” D’hys sat in the other chair opposite of Corvilis. He affected a casual slouch in the chair, making it seem like he was comfortable with a visitor but a closer inspection showed he was poised to jump up for any reason. “I trade more in information for protection though I suppose I could toss a few marks out instead. If that doesn’t interest you, then tell me what else you’re good at and what you’re willing to do.”
