Quoted By:

You still are not sure if tipping is expected or appropriate ... but you are going to do it anyway. If you have completely misread the situation here, and tipping someone like Marpessa is an insult ... somehow ... then you are safe anyway, because Marpessa would assume - correctly - that you didn't know any better, and you intended no insult. And even if she didn't give you the benefit of the doubt, then what the Hell is she going to do? Pick a fight with you because you slipped her some talents? You need to get your head nailed on plumb. In the same quiet tones you spoke to Cassandra with, you say -

"Wait right there, please."

She does, and you turn your attention to fetching the tip. With as much stuff as you have in your canvas wad, it actually takes a bit of doing to get into the portion where you have secreted the coins - but eventually, you manage to pluck one out without having to tear everything apart. Frustratingly enough, making sure that everything is battened down once more actually ends up taking more time then finding the coin, but eventually you are satisfied enough that you beckon the girl forward.

"I understand that a lot of you worked very hard and very quickly to get this dress finished for me today, and I wanted to show my appreciation to you all."

Without any further ado, you extend out the coin. And while this time you are prepared for the other party to take the coin directly out of your hands, you are <span class="mu-i">not</span> prepared for the other party to start crying. Before she can get to a point where she can articulate herself, you interject.

"You deserve it, truly. Please take it, if not for you, then for the others."

She does take it, sniffling. She then spends the next half minute thanking you, to which your feelings towards run the gamut of beaming satisfaction to awkwardness to mild irritation that so much time is being spent such. Eventually, you put your figurative foot down, and interject -

"Truly, father's money has never been so well spent. Now, before I forget, you had the time for me?"

"Oh, oh, yes, the time. It is halfway to the fourteenth hour, or it was, a few minutes ago."

Pattern's Perdition! You have less than an hour and a half to get outside of the Landward Walls, secret your bundle, find someone willing to sell a conveyance to an unchaperoned fifteen year old girl, retrieve the bundle, get out of this 'worn piece' and into an actual dress, return to Cleanport and get to The Hooded Heads before the intended occupant of the room ejects your handcart - or worse, pilfers it. To be sure, he might not be back exactly at the fifteenth toll. but under the circumstances, you shouldn't assume that he is going to be much later. In fact, to be safe, you would be better to assume that he'd return <span class="mu-i">earlier</span>...
