Corinth smirked at the little joke. It was surely a good one, one becoming of dwarves. He was certain the dwarf would have said something else knowing their hatred for both races. The joke was good either way though. He then traced back to her question about the temple. He looked over at it and then back to her. "Have you ever thought certain places were best left buried underneath the sands, that temple is one of those places. You and your company can still go within it, I won't stop you. Just be careful,...." He had no clue as to what this item was she was talking about but he knew one thing and that was when adventures entered it they didn't come back out.... not whole anyways. They were then disturbed by the joining of some sort of dancer woman. She was the hooded fellow he saw with the drow. She was a interesting sort who seemed to be very interested in his presence. Even asking if he wanted to hear a joke. He already heard Catarina's joke and was not interested in hearing another. However, he was interested in giving the two a riddle.
"I have a riddle for the two of you,....." He said.
"What is it
That we love more than life,
Fear more than death,
The rich want it,
The poor have it,
The miser spends it,
And the spend-rift saves it?"

Bernard looked to the man once more and then over at his sleeping master. He then looked back to him and snorted. "Oh yes she is totally awake,... by the way I don't need to go to her or anything. Again that is a copper dragon. They are not evil, further more the only violence that will be caused between this interaction will be the one that attacks it." The raven said. He shook his head at the man. This guy sure was full of it. He then noticed Alyssa jumping up from her sleep and seeing the dragon. She seemed full of bliss and enjoyment at the sight of the huge creature. He took flight to join the two girls, fearing if he stayed by Xavio he might lose some brain cells. How the man became a mage he didn't know. He heard the dragon's riddle and he quickly knew the answer, he wondered if the two girls did though.
