Sometime after this.
If Tom has seen fit to warn Wellard-
Wellard can think of a few other people to pass the warning on to. Namely, Finn. Which is why he has found himself outside of Finn's room after looking through the bar and lake area for his friend.

no subject
Date: 2008-12-16 06:12 am (UTC)Even if he will push the door open after a few moments, if he does not get an answer.
no subject
Date: 2008-12-16 06:20 am (UTC)Presumably Wellard will enter, and say something like Finn the sails were stained pink or some other horrible news. And Finn, being his friend, won't laugh at him.
Maybe.
no subject
Date: 2008-12-18 06:41 am (UTC)This sort of news and situation is... different.
Very different.
It is a very somber Wellard that soon opens the door and slips into Finn's room.
no subject
Date: 2008-12-18 07:12 am (UTC)Belying that is the cautious expression on his face.
"What's wrong?"
no subject
Date: 2008-12-18 07:35 am (UTC)"Nothing is wrong, at the moment. Hopefully."
He has Tom's note folded up in one hand, and starts tapping it again his leg.
"I've mentioned Lord Ostium of the House of Arch to you, I believe? If you've not met him here at Milliways already? He, or the Lady Door, or their daughter Ingress?"

Date: 2008-12-21 07:32 am (UTC)Wellard holds up Tom's note. "Apparently a couple of men from there have showed up here at Milliways. Lord Ostium left a warning about them."
no subject
Date: 2008-12-21 07:43 am (UTC)"Are they angry with him?"
Do they want to kill him? Is Henry going to try to get involved?
no subject
Date: 2008-12-21 08:05 am (UTC)"... He isn't sure what time they're from, but they killed the Lady Door's family- or they will, or... who knows."
Milliways and timelines. Who really knows.
"Either which way, he is warning people to be careful of them, and to keep a watch for the House of Arch if possible."
no subject
Date: 2008-12-21 08:08 am (UTC)That makes him pause, and backtrack slightly: Lady Door? The wife of Lord Ostium. All right.
"Are--do they want her dead too?" And if he sounds a little confused, well--he is. "Do they kill a lot of people?"
no subject
Date: 2008-12-23 03:50 am (UTC)At least in how Wellard sees it.
(Asides from the whole morality of murder, that is.)
"... I don't know how many people they've killed." Wellard shrug. "Or if they're planning on killing more people. Hopefully they'll follow the rules here at Milliways, but in any case they're certainly enemies of the House of Arch."
no subject
Date: 2008-12-23 03:57 am (UTC)Finn doesn't, except in a periphary sense. Wellard does, which is more important.
no subject
Date: 2008-12-23 04:16 am (UTC)That is, if someone does not manage to kill them first in self-defense.
"Hopefully they'll keep by the rules, however. And I don't think Lord Ostium would want any of us to break the rules and start any trouble ourselves- he's just warned us to be careful and to try to keep a watch out for the House of Arch."

Date: 2009-01-16 06:07 am (UTC)Wellard shrugs, and folds the note back up to finally slip it into a pocket. "Thugs and brutes, I gather- though evil can often be charming when it wishes to be, and evil men as well."
This is one lesson Milliways has taught him well.
no subject
Date: 2009-01-16 06:27 am (UTC)Then, curious, "You think they're of the Dark?"
no subject
Date: 2009-01-16 06:38 am (UTC)A deep breath, and he carefully moves to sit down on the floor next to Finn and the puzzle.
"Someone doesn't have to be of the Dark to kill others, or do evil. I doubt if a handful of men from history who've done such things ever were."

Date: 2009-01-16 06:51 am (UTC)"... Alright. Lord Ostium did not mention that they were evil. But he did say that they killed the Lady Door's family and kidnapped Ingress. And as they are hardly evil people themselves-" Dryly.
"-Then usually people with no good intent do such things. So there is that, at the least.
"And he's seen fit to warn me and others about them, and ask for our help in watching out for his home and family. The whole question of if these two are evil or not is beside the matter that..."
He takes a deep breath, and looks up from the puzzle to Finn.
"That he's asked this of me, and he's my friend."

Date: 2009-01-16 07:16 am (UTC)"And I don't really know either- I was jumping to conclusions with how I think of things, which certainly isn't the best to do." He shrugs. "But I am trusting Lord Ostium's judgement in this matter, since he knows the situation."
no subject
Date: 2009-01-16 07:21 am (UTC)"Okay," Finn agrees, peacably. He can live with that.
no subject
Date: 2009-01-16 07:28 am (UTC)It will only take Wellard ten more minutes to get the frame of the puzzle pieced together, and then they can continue on from there.
