when you are not fed love on a silver spoon, you learn to lick it off knives
"They do...? Huh." Finn's surprise is genuine, and he steps forward to take a seat on the edge of the couch - the rooms might clean themselves, but it still isn't exactly comfortable to sink into fabric while soaking wet. He continues to wipe off his face, his hands and arms, setting the bag he's brought beside him. He would query further, but then she mentions blessed by Frey and it all makes dawning sense. Despite himself, Finn relaxes somewhat. "That is quite a reputation for a brothel," he remarks.
His eyebrows raise a bit as she queries the timing of his arrival. "Is it?" he asks. "Perhaps I ought to have waited until after monsoon season before fleeing a bad situation. I would have thought that most in Torchline were looking for a warm bed and some company during monsoon season." The smile he flashes to her is earnest, perhaps a bit hopeful.
They shift towards business, and Finn swallows down the lump in his throat that he might get through this without the 'necessary', so to speak. But he cannot glean his information from behind the scenes, and besides that... "What work is there to do behind the scenes, with rooms that clean themselves?" he wonders. "My previous experience is with clients, if you have need of that."
