Stanbogan continues to pace around her office like a caged wherry. She appears worried, and she only stops to search her shelves which leaves her back to you.
Treirluperak comes back into the office after sometime of looking, and looks around, spotting the steward. "Steward?" He asks her.
Stanbogan steps from the chair she is standing upon to search. She turns and appears a little pinker in the cheeks before beginning, "I do owe you an apology!" She extends her hand in a friendly gesture. "I an Stanbogan, and when you visited earlier, I was expecting my assistant. Since I fear that I frightened you away, how can I help you now?" Her tone is gracious and she shows no sign of her obvious worries.
Treirluperak straightens. "I'm Treirluperak, but you can call me Treir." He replies. "Appology accepted, it didn't seem to be a good time for you anyway." He replies, and tilts his head. "I heard something about a lost klah sprig, that people were looking for...."
"I guess I do owe you an explaination." Sta clears her throat briefly. "You see, Grinstead is expecting a shipment of klah plants within the month and the example that was sent to us from Benden Hold is the only way I can judge if I was sent the quality of product that was promised." She pauses briefly, "Someone or some creature has removed the sprig from my desk and hidden it somewhere ...." she strikes a worried expression from her face again, " and that is why I seemed so frantic earlier. I really am sorry, it is just so very important."
Treirluperak nods. "I can imagine that can't be too good." He agrees with her. "Never understand why anyone would do that." He shakes his head a moment. "Would you like me to help look for it? Though I think I found it..."
"You found it?" Sta's expression is one of total suprise. "Where on Pern do you beliueve it is? ...Can you describe it to me?"
Treirluperak hmms. "Well, I found it in the oddest place, least for a klah plant as far as I'm concerned." He says. "I found it in this cave, up a path off of the lake area here." He replies. "It was just a twig, no blossoms or anything on it, but far as I could tell it was a twig from a klah plant."
Stanbogan pushes her hair back, away from her face pushing her fingers through some loose strands, a gesture of relief. "I must go and immediately retrieve ..." She stops to ruffle through her desk. "Now this is just a crude example, but" she again pauses. "It's a klah knife, and with this you will be more than welcome at all our coming festivals." She smiles. "Now I really should get out there and have a look. Can I be of some service to you before I go?"
Treirluperak nods and takes the knife carefully. "Well, I hope it isn't too ruined." He replies, and then shakes his head. "No, no services at this time, I'm glad I could help you find that sample/\
Stanbogan offers her hand again. "Thank you so very much! Please get something to eat in the dining room down the hall before you go." She again smiles happily. "It's on the hold!"
Treirluperak nods and takes the knife carefully. "Well, I hope it isn't too ruined." He replies, and then shakes his head. "No, no services at this time, I'm glad I could help you find that sample." He replies, and nods, taking the hand. "Thank you, I might do that, all that lookings got me hungry."
Stanbogan says, "Enjoy your dinner!"
Treirluperak nods, and heads back out.
Stanbogan goes to the Hold House.
