Having reached out to Kek and pitching the idea, Jeanette found herself in a good mood the next Saturday as she and Ren made their way over to Sloane Square. the market was in full swing and the content and happy energy from the market goers was infectious. She would be taking Kek through the market (with unobtrusive guards in tow on her part), and Ren was going to head off to the artist supply shops to get some of the things they needed to finish supplying their new studio.

The agreement was to meet in the Square by a set of benches off ot the side where they could greet each other without being in the way of others.

This was not some show they were putting on, though Revna’s suggestion to be seen together in public was an excellent one. The way Jeanette saw it, they needed a relaxed meeting with low stakes before they all sat down at the table for formal talks. Showing Kek the market was a great way for him to get to know Oed’s people and culture a bit better, and for the people of Oed to see that there was nothing to worry about. Or perhaps, less to worry about than they might be imagining.

After kissing Ren on the cheek as they headed off, Jeanette wandered over to one of the benches that seemed to be occupied. The person sitting there got up adn casually moved over to lean against a tree while she took a seat on the bench. She draped the long dark blue open cardigan over her legs. She was dressed for comfort, but still looked her usual polished self in royal blue linen trousers and a drapey white top made of a t-shirt material. Her long blond hair was loose.
