City of Waiting Part IV

Thanks to Persiflage for the spot edits on the last few posts. So, after this point I've got two and a half chapters written and I just have to make the conclusion somewhat decent (this beign the part where I usually end up distractedly wandering off in the metaphorical fields of daisies and staring blanky into space...)

Anyway, this chapter also contains friends old and new (but mostly old), a sneaky bit of time lapsing in order to Build Suspense, and more tea.
