Of meetings

Problem: When do Ire and Quinton meet each other?

Quinton has to meet Ire before Ire can exhibit any signs of poisoning, otherwise it is an anachronism. This will have been the second time Ire has been poisoned in as many weeks. This will probably make him weaker, physically, and may necessitate his disappearing for a day or two.

They should meet, ideally, just before or during the public speaking so it will be easy for Quinton to recognize Ire. His first action will be to catch Selah and tamper with the food. This will require that Ire takes food from Selah, which means he needs to be doing something else.

Phooey.

Quinton also needs to have a good reason not to become president (oh, like, PROPOSING TO VIVIANE? =3).
