Waiting to post until Shiloh hears from the others on pushing Witch and Light to change how they deal with people who don't pay.

Quill sweeps her bangs and purses her lips in thought. "I'm not sure we can. When I met them, they felt warm and cold at the same time. A little bit like the Fey, now that I think about it. They can be hard to predict. At least, that's what my brother said. But of course I'll back you up."

Kettlesteam pauses while he considers this information, noting internally his abnormally trusting and cooperative attitude. His eyes darken with hostility and his feathers ruffle up, but after a long minute he calms back down. "Fine. I don't have to like your methods, but you didn't actually hurt me or steal. But yes, I can play nice and return what I've stolen. As long as you can get to the bottom of these problems and actually resolve it."

Quill smiles, hiding her reservations about working with an acolyte of Baba Yaga's. "Perfect. Do you think we have time to talk to Candlefoot before the show under the Big Top?"

Shiloh nods. "Thank you. Do you know anything more than what you already told us?"

Re: Chapter 1: Witchlight Carnival
Kettlsteam doesn't have anything of worth to additionally offer, his only giant disruption currently running is the stolen voice bit. Everything else is more petty such drilling small holes in the Swan Ride boats to cause them to slowly sink, stealing money from the guests, 'misplacing' personal belongings in suspicious places to cause strife, that sort of thing. He only recently escalated to the big leagues with the stolen voice bit after the smaller stuff wasn't causing enough disruption to get the results he was looking for.

Shiloh says, "Okay, thank you," and unties Kettlesteam. She turns to the others and says, "Shall we go watch the big show? Maybe more clues will show up there."

"I thought we were going to do things above board," says Shiloh. "If we go around stealing things, how are we better than ..." She almost says Kettlesteam, but decides against it since he is still right there. Instead, she says, "... the people we're fighting? There has to be a better way of finding out what's going on."
