One silver coin was still a very generous offer for the meal, which the bartender was all too happy to accept with Ludwig's push of the coin forward. "Th-thank you for your patronage, sir!" He enthused with a small bow before pocketing the coin. Who knew that travelers from other lands could bring not only novelty but profitable business too. With enough savings, maybe he'd be able to travel to these distant lands one day.

Ludwig's order of the day's special was soon served, hot and spiced. "We hope you enjoy your meal, sir!" the bartender beamed, feeling the satisfying weight of his pockets. The tavern had received so much extra business that evening, the kitchen was starting to run out of mushrooms and herbs.

The shopkeeper was aware of the high prices he'd set, and if it wasn't for the fact that Robert looked less outlandish than most visitors did, the prices would have been even higher.

"Ye haven't seen my bargains at their hardest, boy…" He flashed a jesting smirk at Robert before looking down to count the coins, mumbling under his breath. It took him a little while to figure out how many pencils were paid for.

"Right then – the satchel, ledger, and three pencils if I'm not mistaken…" Scooting the goods toward Robert, he looked up with contentment. "Thank ye for yer business. Ye have a good evening now."
