[There's a light click as the phone's handset is picked up from the receiver, followed by an extended pause before Tlachtga speaks.]

I am curious...is there any place here where I might find a locksmith...?

[She isn't planning anything yet, but something tells her that she'll need to know this eventually.]

A locksmith?

[hexbell]

There are certain...rooms within my house in need of locks, for a number of reasons...

[Well, okay, maybe she does have something in mind.]

[rapier_ex]

Privacy matters, huh?

[hexbell]

That is one of the reasons, yes... [Sort of.]

[lotuslife]

There is a hardware store. Perhaps you can look there?

[hexbell]

Perhaps. [A pause, as she thinks to herself of possibly asking Kay to come along...] I will check shortly, then...

[lotuslife]

What is the issue, if you do not mind my asking?

[hexbell]

There are certain rooms within this house that I wish to limit access to, each for differing reasons...
