CUT TO: AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS
INT. ENGLEHART ARMORY - MORNING
EUDOXIA SHARPENS A KNIFE ON A SHARPENING WHEEL AND STOPS WHEN JURRIEN BRINGS HER TEA.
[Jurrien]
Tea, Master Eudoxia?
[Eudoxia Englehart]
Yes, please.
EUDOXIA TAKES THE CUP OF TEA AND SIPS FROM IT.
[Eudoxia Englehart]
Has Patrick arrived yet?
[Jurrien]
No, late as usual I'm afraid.
[Eudoxia Englehart]
I see.
THE DOORBELL RINGS AND JURRIEN DEPARTS FROM THE ARMORY. A FEW SECONDS LATER A YOUNG MAN RUSHES INTO THE ARMORY WITH A BAG FULL OF PAPERS AND HOLDING A FEW DIFFERENT ITEMS WITH HIM.
[Patrick]
Eudoxia, I know that—!
[Eudoxia Englehart]
You're late?
[Patrick]
You won't even let me admit my failure?
[Eudoxia Englehart]
What would be the difference?
EUDOXIA TAKES A SIP OF HER TEA AND PATRICK SITS HIS BAG ON A TABLE NEAR AN OPEN FLAME. AS JURRIEN COMES INTO THE ROOM, HE REMOVES PATRICK'S BAG FROM THE LOCATION AND SITS IT ON THE FLOOR.
[Patrick]
You know, I do make all of your weapons for you.
[Eudoxia Englehart]
No, you modify them. There's a difference.
[Patrick]
Why are you so mean, cousin?
[Eudoxia Englehart]
You just need to get your head on straight and you won't have to worry about it.
[Patrick]
Anyhow, what's the hubbub about?
[Eudoxia Englehart]
Kayne Andrei has shown himself in these lands.
PATRICK DEVELOPS A SHOCKED EXPRESSION.
[Patrick]
After all this time. Were you able to—?
[Eudoxia Englehart]
No, unfortunately for me he wasn't alone. His daughter was with him, and it seemed she was a halfling. She was resistant to water, and she used spells of some sort.
[Patrick]
Do you know what kind?
[Eudoxia Englehart]
I don't believe it was vampiric.
PATRICK SETS A GADGET DOWN NEAR A MAGNETIC STRIP AND JURRIEN REMOVES IT BEFORE A HAZARD OCCURS.
[Patrick]
Well, knowing is half the battle. Do you have any recollection of what it sounded like?
[Eudoxia Englehart]
Only faintly. If there's anyone who would know it's Percy.
PATRICK LEANS AGAINST EUDOXIA WITH A CHEEKY EXPRESSION.
