Yeah. The safe house where Brenn stays in Benighted is actually partly funded by Verdant, which he's amused by when he finds out.

And I suspect they do run places like that, like sort of 'outpatient' calm zones for people who are stressed out the gills. (Sometimes these people turn out to have a latent empathy in which case they get taught how to work with it; sometimes they're just frazzled in which case they get lavender tea and books.)
