Empal left them and returned to his stall where he opened it to public, later than usual. Oddly enough, no one had really noticed his late opening since it was an off-day for market and there weren't as many people buying goods in the towns square. When Boyce decided to go to Halls, he and Lloyd split up. They did this for two reasons, namely; to keep anyone from possibly recognizing Lloyd, and have one supporter free to come to the aid of the other if there arose a situation where one might be imprisoned. Lloyd had a task to do, which was to save time for him and Boyce, from having them to do it together. This task was the locating of Miel and Cassta -- two of Brook Scullion-Blue's most trustworthy and loyal friends. Boyce had hoped to seek out these men and persuade them, and their families, to follow him into forming a new rule that would prevent a monastic institution from governing the land. Lloyd's job was just to find these men's residences and make a brief observation of whether, or not, the men and their families could still be loyal to a Blue rule. Boyce, with Zoro on his shoulder, slowly made his way up Canon's Butte with his travel pack containing a small cask of gold bits. When he reached the top he looked at the enormity of the Halls Cathedral, which touched the blue sky above him. The front gates were open and there were hordes of people walking about, doing business. At the gate sat a notary vicar and he had all those who entered the cathedral state their name and reason for going in. Boyce went in and the vicar stopped him and asked him to return. Boyce did as he was asked; the vicar wanted Boyce to sign in the visit logs. "What is your name?" asked the vicar while he stared at the crow on Boyce's shoulder. "I am Boyce Loebh!" he answered promptly. "What is your business here?" Boyce smiled and looked around when Zoro cawed a few times. "I am here to see the estates Cardinal. I would like to buy some property on which to live." The vicar looked at Boyce suspiciously then proceeded with the questioning. "You don't have a request for an audience with our estates Cardinal. If you care to wait, he may be free to see you!" "I will wait!" Boyce exclaimed, then he went over to a tree where a long rock post had fallen-over, and he sat on it. The notary vicar rang a small hand bell and a young novice ran to the desk where the notary sat. He was given a slip of paper and some instructions. He ran off into the Cathedral's quadrangle and not too long after that, ran back with a slip of paper that he handed to the notary. The notary vicar looked over at Boyce and Boyce noticed it. He got up the fallen post and walked over to the notary. "It will be a while but the estates Cardinal will see you." the notary vicar told Boyce. Boyce leaned over to him then pointed over to the post where he was sitting before.
