"Our order isn't who you're looking for but I think answering specific questions with divination is supposed to be hard. Are you thinking divination is the only way to find out what you need?"

"More like who I need."

"Should I not ask?"

"I'm still debating the wisdom of telling anyone else," he confesses. "I can confidently say that I expect you and yours to agree this person ought to be found had I explained to you who they were and the circumstances that have led me to want to find them."

Nod. "My first port of call based on that would be the Behaims. Some of them pick up a bit of divination sometimes. We've also got some Others that act broadly enough to be worth asking, but in general practitioners are easier to deal with. If the information gathering has to be based on the practice, that is; we are pretty well informed mundanely."

"Yeah, but I also suspect you don't know this person's whereabouts even mundanely and am still not convinced it's a good idea to talk about them."

"It's difficult to hide from a Lord, especially one like Montreal's. There aren't many people we can't find.

So I suspect I know who you mean. Not convinced I should say it either, in case it's not."

He shrugs. "Well, I'll see if I can get the Behaims' help."

"If it is the same person, the Behaims have already been asked on of the Lord's behalf. Does that sound like it could be the same?"

"Mmm it's a possibility, but I'm not entirely sure."

Also maybe he should've not told the Behaims about Rose.

"Is this person a practitioner, and you're looking for them because of a particular use of the practice where they might or might not have known what they were doing but it harms the rest of the city either way?"

"They're a practitioner but that's not why I'm looking for them, no." She did that, of course, but that's not the reason he wants to find her...

"Sounds like it's not the same person, then." (That was close; almost divulged the fact that there's a loose diabolist to someone who didn't already know.)

"If you'd rather give the specifics to someone else than us for any reason, the person to talk to is Athol Behaim. He'll either be able to say whether they can divine your answer it or point out who can. If you don't care who you inform, we could at least say whether they're in Montreal but not necessarily more precise than that."

"I'd actually rather not give the specifics to anyone, if I can. And I'm pretty sure they're in Montreal, I kinda do want something more specific than that."

"That's as far as being a Lord would help with, and you said you don't think we'd know it mundanely, so maybe you're right about having better luck with divination.

Did you want to discuss your suggestion for the Lord while you're here? No promises on results, but hearing people out is part of the job."

"Oh, yeah, sure."

The priests switch out, presumably for someone with either more economics interest or a higher risk tolerance in asking the god for things. "It was something to do with his past as a merchant spirit, right?"

"Yeah. Way these things work it doesn't seem like most older entities would be by default interested in things related to economics but he might."

"Normally. The Lord has been human, so isn't quite as immutable as some. Not that economics was a thing at the time, of course."

"Well, no, but he likely appreciates the idea of monetary exchange better than many."

"How do you mean? He'd be familiar with it of course, but currency doesn't really come into exchanges in our world."

"Yes, that's sort of the point."

"Oh. You want people to start trading in money— why?"

"Nnnnot exactly. You can talk to me and the Lord when I explain what I'm thinking?"

"I can, yes. Getting answers is usually indistinct, but rarely nothing."
