*Orpheus lay there for a long while, his thoughts drifting over the events of the day, as well as the strange thing that Adrian Pickett had said to him... He pondered the words for a while before closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep.*

*Adrian yawned lightly, before his hand involuntarily dropped to the bed, and his eyes shut closed.*
"I wonder if I offended that man..." *He thought, and then he was dreaming.*

*Orpheus slept soundly throughout the night, only waking with the dawn. He got up and showered before dressing in pale blue robes and donning a matching hat once his long hair had been dried and brushed. He was soon on his way back to the Ministry of Magic, ready for another day spent unravelling the mysteries of the regurgitating cauldrons.*

*Adrian groaned as he turned over, watching Iris as she paced around his room.*
"Do you think he doesn't like me?" *Iris whined, looking over at Adrian, who would nod or shake his head whenever she paused.*
"I have to get ready to open shop." *He kissed her cheek, ignoring her words completely as she shouted after him.

*Callie gave Orpheus a wave as he entered the office, and he gave a polite nod in return before taking a seat in his cubicle, pulling out the list of contacts and their locations again. Callie soon came to him with her own list and the two set off again to go investigate each person, one by one.*

*Adrian took off his shirt, placing it on the counter as he walked to the back of the forge. He walked back to his station, slipping his leather gloves carefully onto each hand.* "Hopefully the calls will cease to exist." *He sighed heavily, grabbing a hammer.*

*Orpheus and Callie went from place to place questioning everyone and investigating their buildings. They turned up with nothing but another long list of people who had handled the cauldrons, returning to the Ministry. After a few minutes of looking up locations, Orpheus sighed softly and made a copy of the list before walking over to Callie's cubicle.* "Robles, I'm going to go have another talk with Pickett. Find the rest of the locations... I'll be back shortly." *Callie didn't even look up, simply nodding while Orpheus put on his hat and left the ministry, apparating to the Pickett forge and knocking quietly on the door.*

*Adrian dropped the hammer on the floor, jumping slightly upon hearing a noise other than clanging. He shuffled over to the door, taking his glasses from his back pocket, and slipping them on the tip of his nose. He raised his eyebrows slightly as he realized it to be the man from the day before, and opened the door.*
"What a surprise."

*Orpheus raised an eyebrow at him, his eyes very briefly noting his appearance before quickly meeting his eyes again.* "Sorry to bother you again, Mr. Pickett. I was wondering if I might have a word."

*Adrian nodded his head, walking inside, as he motioned for Quinn to follow.* "You're welcome to." *Adrian hopped up onto his counter, swinging his legs back and fourth slowly*

*Orpheus removed his hat, holding it in his hands and glancing around the room as he spoke.* "We sought out all of the people on the list that you gave us, but a quick glance at their supplies didn't turn up any evidence. As far as we could tell, none of them had any of the jinxed cauldrons among the products they showed us. Still, that doesn't mean that none of them are guilty and we've also been provided with a new list of people they supplied with cauldrons. I'd like to get your opinions on some of the people I spoke to today, as well as request that you take a look over our new list and tell me if you recognize any of the names and have any opinions on them as well."

*Adrian nodded his head in agreement, reaching his arm out to take the list. He looked it over two or three times before shaking his head.*
"The first name- it's a daycare. My father did a lot of business with them. Otherwise, I've never heard of these names."
*Adrian slid off of the counter, leaning against it casually.* "I wish I could be of more help to you, but I'm at a loss."

"That's quite all right... I just appreciate the cooperation. Now what about the names that you gave my partner and I yesterday? Do you know the character of any of those men and women? Know their histories at all...?"

"Glory's a sweetheart, attractive, as well. She's the head of one of the department at Gringott's... she ordered a few large cauldrons from me directly a few weeks ago. Otherwise, I don't deal with people well, so I haven't a clue as to what people do or have done after they leave their job."
*Adrian handed the list back to Quinn before slipping his hands into his front pockets.*

*Orpheus nodded a little as he slipped the list back into the pocket of his robes, a little disappointed in the lack of information even though he didn't blame Adrian for it.* "Well, I appreciate your time, Mr. Pickett... I'm sure we'll find a way to get to the bottom of this..." *He briefly looked over the smith again, hesitating a moment as his brain searched for another route to answers from him...* "Is there a chance that your father would know any of these people?"
