Having secured the deed to the property in Naos, Chuffy dons his halfling disguise to seek out his friends and potential business partners. He heads back to the same tavern where they drank tea and chatted together. He looks around hoping to find the young woman, the student, who wished to manage the shop. He's hopeful for her, but also is curious about Lucy back home and whether she might like to take some part in this shop. She has, after all, already worked in a store before and judging from the frightening insensitivity and/or stupidity of her employer, she probably knew more about running the business than him. That might be a good tie back to Sandpoint. He orders another black tea from the bar while he waits for his friends and ponders his future.
