Truth be told, Simon was a little bit nervous about meeting Ethan's cousin by himself. What if he made a complete fool of himself in front of the really cool Mordred guy? He'd feel terrible about it for days. However, luckily, he'd received Ethan's note that informed him that he'd catch up to him and Mordred later and the note also included some information about Ethan's pretty special friend (Josette) . As he was about to leave, Simon gave his friend a nudge and then headed out the door.

After asking several people for directions to the Quill shop, Simon found it quite quickly and wrote down the name. Scrivenshaft's Quill Shop. It'd be important to remember it later. Opening the door, he stepped in from the frigid weather and rubbed his hands together to warm up. He spotted Mordred immediately, remembering the photo of the boy that Ethan had shared with him a week or two ago.

Time to be brave.

He approached the boy with a kind grin on his face. Hi! Excuse me, you're Mordred, right?" he asked as he held his hand out for a handshake. "I'm one of Ethan's friends. I'm Simon. Ethan's on his way." He omitted the part about the girl. He'd subtly drop it into the conversation later. Heh. "So I hear you work with dragons? That's awesome!"
