"...I think Alyssa is better equipped to be useful in a foreign city for a fortnight."

"I wouldn't mind staying for a while."

"Hopefully we can find you something to do which also gives you a good opportunity to learn Taldane, then, it's the most common human language in the area and your government would probably appreciate an independent translator."

"What kinds of things need done?"

"What doesn't need doing? Cleaning, spinning, mending, weaving, I could perhaps imagine someone wanting to hear your harp repertoire because it shouldn't overlap with theirs. I'm not sure you'd do well as a dockworker and I can't recommend courier work while you're unfamiliar with the city. And I'd expect the Abadarans would pay you to tell them the same things you told me, but that might be a decision you want your government to make."

"I didn't bring a harp and I want to hear local music but I can clean and spin and mend and weave."

"I don't actually know how much collateral a smart musician would demand for loaning out a harp that they're watching the whole time. I mostly sell wands of Cure Light Wounds and temples host me for free because I burst with positivity." She chuckles a bit. "The person helping you with the details of covering your stay is not going to be me, except in that technically I will pay for things for a little while if you can't. You should be able to listen to music at some point, my friend Piria might drop by and she plays drums, and even if she doesn't there's a reasonable number of street performers."
