[b] "Tell ya what, this one's on me. I also got the reward gold over in the back. It's available in full upon request, but I'm also agreein' to keep hold of it if ya don't need it now. No need to pay bar tabs whilst there's gold in yer pouch in the back. I take tabs out of the pouch if it's not paid up front"[/b] Vance nodded to finny as he took the bottle of ale, taking a big swig of it after raising it towards the bartender. [color=6ecff6]"Thanks"[/color] he said. He turned his back to the counter, looking at the other patrons. His expression was that of worry, and it got worse as he looked at each of the heroes that was left after the first mission. There was a drunk girl, who raced into the bathroom, with a female friend helping her. A Rabbit-girl who had carried her already-drunk companions in. A man who looked to be depressed from the battle. A seemingly horny drunk that was eying the girl who ran into the bathroom. After hearing the banter between the newcomer, and his cat, the last thing he heard was the cat hacking up a hairball onto it's companion's cheek. [color=6ecff6][i]"Great.."[/i][/color] Both Eve, and Vance thought in unison. [color=6ecff6]"This is our fighting force? We're putting our lives in the hands of.... them?"[/color] Vance said to Eve, as the hairball slid off of Bartholomew's cheek, and onto the counter with a squishy "thud". With a heavy sigh, he took another swig of ale. [color=6ecff6]"Cheers"[/color] he said in a less than subtle tone to the room.
