H-138: Captree, Platters on the Esplanade
Lia suspects, and if she does glance at the data Cinna has will be pretty certain, that the loan to the restaurant owner is charging interest, which is illegal in the Dominion.
The discussion of the restaurant’s patronage will take a while, and Lia and Cinna’s meals arrive.
Lia is not at all surprised by that, in fact I think she would have expected it given who Cinna is.
She will listen to Cinna’s discussion of the finances, taking time to flatter her and touch her where she can.
How does her meal look when it arrives?
