That night, Raymond had dinner with Arya at home. Between bites, he casually mentioned that he had found a blacksmith shop, but he kept the details brief. Afterward, he excused himself, putting on his disguise once again. The gloomy, mysterious "underground pharmacist" persona was back, and he headed to the meeting spot he had arranged with Manik the day before.
