She'd actually been thinking the same thing, although she's not sure how he's been faring since their last talk. She's hoped that involving him in their investigation hadn't gotten him in hot water with Thorne, but she hadn't been back to Nott to check in just yet. That thought nudges a little higher on her mental to-do list.

But she turns to explain to Thancred, since he hadn't been part of that investigation. "A relative of the Creed family from Solvunn - he resides in Nott and is the head of this end of the branch of imports and exports out of Solvunn, apparently. We met him when we were investigating some of the disappearances in Nott and he ended up giving clues to two separate investigations I was working on at the time. He's also the reason Nott never had to worry about corrupted grain shipments, like the Free Cities did with their wood. Brion spotted it before it could be distributed and destroyed it."

Her gaze flicks to Lucifer then, her expression thoughtful as a fingertip taps absently against her chin. "He might be able to shed some light on this. I meant to check in with him anyway, next time I was in Nott. I've been worried that involving him in our affairs might have put him at odds with either Thorne or the Nott residents - especially after what you're telling me about Nott now."
