Ian followed after Mulivon, stopping after a few steps to feel around his pockets a little, which suddenly felt a lot heavier, beforr letting out a muttered curse as he pulled out the offending objects. They were three of the sapphires that Mulivon had left to go along with her gross over-payment of her food and drink. 

Ian stood still a bit, struggling with the indecision of whether he should put the precious gems back or pocket them. On one hand, just one was more than good enough to pay for the meal, and the gold nugget was still there as well, plus Simon would probably give it back to her anyway. He could definitely use the money he'd get from selling the gems too, but . . . he was trying to break his reputation as a thief, had just been in a discussion for it as well, and to steal such valuable things right after saying that made him feel rather sickened with himself. After a few more seconds, a defeated sigh broke past his lips before he turned back and placed two of the gems back on the table, then the third after a few more moments indecision. He then followed Mulivon out, feeling both happy at his strength of will and stupid that he had just done that. But he hid these feelings behind a mask of confidence and cheerfulness as he walked next to the helmeted newcomer, his trademark smile plastered on his face.

[color=Gold]"So then, Mighty Mulivon , were do you want to go first on the tour? The park is always a good place, and judging by the weather, I think we could easily find a place to satisfy that sweet tooth of yours, though we'll have to make a quick stop at the local pawn shop so we can get you some actual money."[/color]
