"You can say your vacation home needs a full-time undertaker, that's not fishy at all."

"Plumber," says the translator.

"Yeah, sure, I didn't like waiting for the nearest one to drive up and the pipes keep freezing in the winter."

Nod.

"And why am I paying for it?"

"You can send me the money and I'll pay it out of my normal staff arrangement."

"Thank you," says one of the Orvaran reds haltingly.

"Of course. I - should've done something. I'm sorry."

They don't have any reply to that one.

She sets up the accounts. They leave.

Reds occupy her house and order food and clothes and toiletries and such.

Telkam gets a well-renumerated research position at a university, going through some old paper archives and miraculously turning up lost historical documents. He can cover the bills, barely, if he gets a subletter for his place in Lina and lives in Milliways off counterfeit, which he does.

Cam is happy to provide counterfeit.

If Cam wants to provide occasional lost letters and manuscripts then he'll totally go to him but otherwise he'll probably try to find a demon for a regular arrangement.

Cam doesn't mind doing that either. Bar can also handle published items.

Yeah but they're pretending she can't. And they should be on suitably aged paper and stuff. "Do you happen to have any ideas about where to put thirty reds," he says to Cam. "That being the reason I have a respectable green job now. Not that I'd quit but, like, it's the kind of salary you could save for a child off if you weren't spending more than four thousand ni a month on thirty secret reds."

"Far be it from me to get between you and your chocolate eclairs. They could live here?"

"That'd be great except the government is sitting tight on the door, I have to show my ID to six different people to get in."

"Would you have to do that if you had wings?" Cam wonders.

" - probably not."

"Demon can give 'em wings, angel can take 'em off."

"I like you. Okay. I will ask the reds how they feel about being smuggled into Milliways disguised as daeva."

"Possibly include a real daeva in the mix to handle any shows of power they're supposed to produce."

Nod. 

He asks Bar how much it'd be to get people a bunch of interconnected suites, indefinitely.

She doesn't have a price for "indefinitely", she can only price things by subjective time, but she'll take counterfeit.
