[Cyprian Kircheis]

He bowed to Bria. "I'm delighted to see you again milady. This is a friend of mine from home that seems to have arrived sometime before me." He gives Gizby a wary look, hoping he won't serve as a hindrance. "Allow me to introduce Gizby Brightshadow, Merchant of Neinheim. Gizby this is Bria Tombay: Perhaps the greatest Bard I've ever had the pleasure of meeting."

[Bria Tomay]

Bria gets really quiet at the compliment and waves him off. "Oh, you're just saying that." She looks at him. "Pleasure, Gizby" She just lifts up her hands and waves modestly. "Oh! Do you know where you came in from, Gizby? If your portal is still there, we may be able to get the both of you home. Assuming we can figure out what you had on you triggered the key."

[Gizby Brightshadow]

Gizby smiles at the introduction, but then his face sours at her question. "Get...Home? Why would I ever want to do that!? I love this city!" He bursts into boisterous laughter. "So many sucker... er, I mean customers. No Baba Yaga, do you know I've had to look over my shoulder my entire life? I finally feel free here. And not to mention the Dustmen, who share a sentiment with myself that death is beautiful." He smiles broadly, "and I can already tell you're a superior bard than the ones from back home. The ones I know are always chasing dragonborn tail." He side eyes Cyprian, and silently chuckles, his body shaking.

[Cyprian Kircheis]

Cyprian's grin gets wider and wider, eventually showing his fangs as Gizby outs him. "Miss Bria you may ignore him if you wish. He's a rotten friend, and a crude miscreant." He sighs, "Though even I have to complement his leathercraft. Ahh but regarding the matter of returning to Midgard, I may have a lead that I intend to follow up on."

He resists the urge to kick Gizby's high chair and send him flying. But instead pulls his lute around.

"In the interim, shall we proceed with the audition?" He gives Gizby a nasty look, "I have a few songs I'm keen to show off. Maybe if I'm lucky I can even add them to Sigil's proverbial fakebook."
