When: Current
Where: Craigcrook Castle, Edinburgh

Who: Balthier, Jacob, Bayek
When: Current
Where: Assassin HQ
What: Jacob asked Balthier to come by and discuss Balthier's kind of melodramatic retreat during the inhibitions plot. Bayek's there, mostly to provide another ear and listen.

Jacob realizes that Balthier probably talks more about emotions with friends than some marriages that Jacob has seen. It's a bizarre world view, but it does clarify things.

When: Current
Where: A side room at the college, set up for fingerpainting, and then Balthier And Company's Cottage
What: Balthier's got about twenty feet of panels to fill with fingerpainting. Sounds like an excuse to get some kids from the daycare to help out, and to have Enjolras meeting Courfeyrac. The plan was a shower and pizza later, perhaps with Balthier's siblings stealing Bahorel for a while.
Rating/Warnings: It's fingerpainting followed by pizza. Totally safe.

Who: Noah, Balthier, Basch, Clint [Open to Assassin / Clint Barton’s contacts]
When: Current
Where: Gatehouse at Craigcrook Castle, Edinburgh
What: Noah’s got an open invitation to Clint to come on over to eat and relax. The stress from ‘bizarre blob ate my friend’ isn’t something he can cure, but when Scotland merely has loud nesting giant birds, it’s comparatively quiet. The plan is dinner and peace. Not a terrible thing, when there’s wobbly weird monsters out there.
Rating/Warnings:
Status: In progress
