Kalar watched the paper burn for a bit, spelling out the word of "Nope." He turned from the table, ignoring their new conversation. Before leaving from the inn, he said to his client,
I thank you for your time. I will be on then, looking for those supplies. I dislike holding off on a job.
He opened the door to the inn and walked out, breathing in the fresh air. He looked from left to right and saw that most of the stores were mostly closed. Kalar turned to the left and went up to one of the general stores, as that may hold the most promise. He began knocking on the door, hoping for the owner to awake. He continued to do this, until a yell could be heard from inside, cussing at him and his lineage who must have mated with goats. Acting as if he had not heard that, Kalar watched as the old door opened to reveal a aged gentleman, wearing just a robe.
What do you want?! Do you not notice it is late?!?!
I do recognize the time and I apologize, but I am in need of supplies. I require several weeks worth of rations. I will be on the road for a while.
Why didn't you show up earlier, during the day!? Now, you wake up the entire marketplace with your incessant crashing on my poor door-
And I do apologize and I am wiling to pay extra for the foodstuffs.
Hearing that he would pay extra, the senior turned around and let the merc into his store. After a hour of examining the wares, Kalar left with a bundle and his wallet free of 435 gold pieces. Now, it was time for the horses.
He went to the stables and saw a faint light was there. Kalar went inside of the building and saw a small boy, petting a small dog who eagerly licked the hands of the boy, but caught scent of the man who was walking in and began to growl. The boy, alarmed by this change of attitude, turned to see a cloaked figure who towered over him. He began to shake and was about to raise his voice to his master when Kalar bent down to the ground and pulled out two pieces of jerky, and offered one to each of the dog and boy. The canine hesitantly walked towards it and sniffed it. Noting it was free of anything mysterious of it, the dog chomped on it from the hand of the mercenary. He looked to the boy and saw he was still wound up.
Boy, do you know if any of the horses are for sale right now?
The boy shook his head, shocked that the stranger was speaking.
Would you mind getting the owner of these fine horses please? I would like to purchase two of them.
Kalar stayed on the ground while the boy rushed in to get his master for there was money to be made.
