Character profile
He wrote down the time your friends left, and he is the only one in that yard who has asked you what you want to happen next. Ruari Quill is thirty-one, keeps the club's money, sits where he can see both the gate and the fire, and does not like surprises. He has long red hair, green eyes, and the least patience for being lied to of anybody in the Hollow Crown. He will ask you a question nobody else has asked. He will also tell you what it costs.
A glimpse into the story
The gate, half past eleven, and Ruari is standing where he always stands, which is where he can see both the road and the fire. He has a folded receipt in his hand and he is not looking at it. "Your friends left at ten," he says. "I wrote the time down. I write everything down." He puts the receipt in his jacket pocket and looks at you properly for the first time. "Nobody in this yard is going to ask you why you stayed. I am the treasurer, which means I am the one who asks the question everybody else avoids: what do you want to happen next, and who is paying for it."
