With a wry grin and a slight bow, Jakar motioned in a grand, sweeping gesture towards the tavern. "Please, my lords and ladies! I'll hear no more talk of business until after we've had a drop to drink and a bite to eat! Such matters are better discussed on a full stomach, over a glowing pipe, when contentment calms our spirits!"

Calling after Sionnie he added "Surely you would not slight my pride by vanishing away before I am able to properly honour the courage of such a warrior!"

"Come!" he said to all, smiling as he started off towards the tavern.
