@gallowhung gets a starter
The investigation seems to have hit a wall. After another frustrated conversation with the Countess where the two of them went over everything they knew, her headaches started again and she gave Edge the rest of the day off.
He’s looking around the marketplace when the rain starts. At first it seems like a light rain, but by the time he gets back to the street where his shop is, it’s pouring so hard he can barely see where he’s going from the raindrops. As he turns at the last corner, he runs straight into someone and reaches out as a reflex to grab the stranger to keep from falling.
“I’m so sorry, I didn’t see you there--” The apology leaves his lips before he raises his head to meet the other’s eyes, and realises that the person he’d just collided with is... Julian Devorak. For someone the guards can’t find anywhere, Edge sure seems to run into him frequently - twice at the shop, once at the tavern, and now here. “Julian!” He did say Edge can call him that. “Where are you-- why-- You’ll be all soaked, too. You should come in,” he says finally as he finds his voice, and tugs at the doctor’s arm to pull him towards the shop. Only a few steps now.
