Where is Gecel?

Thalenir breezes in the front door of the Warrior's Hall with an expression of mild concern on his face. He glances around, apparently looking for something. "Gecel?" he calls out. His look of concern deepens. "So it is true..."

Kirell enters the hall, a shield in one hand, and a large hammer in the other. As he surveys the room he addresses the white haired man. ?I saw you at the tavern, didn?t I? You are truly mysterious little fellow. The look of puzzlement on your face leads me to believe something is wrong here, and if it has puzzled you I fear foul play. Is there any way I might be of assistance.?

Thalenir turns to Kirell. "I heard a strange rumor that Gecel was missing. He and I are of... different vocations, so I don't really make it a point to see him." Thalenir walks over to Gecel's work table, draws his index finger across the surface, and raises it for Kirell's inspection. "But this dust tells me everything I need to know. Jastrey can scarcely afford to lose such a valuable resource. What concerns me most is that nobody seems to be searching for him."

"I don't suppose you know...," Thalenir trails off as the sounds of a crying child issue from the direction of the tavern. His look of concern deepens. "I don't remember any children living in Jastrey, do you?" he asks as he rushes out the door in the direction of the Shady Corner.

"You are technically correct. The best kind of correct!"

A wizards mind runs faster than his feet, Kirell thinks to himself, as he follows Thalenir out the door. ?No I don?t recall seeing any child since I arrived.?
