Bert was deep in thought letting his cards slide together between his fingers when, "Nothing good on the missions board?"

The cards fell to the counter top as he turned to see Elise.  "Well for me I've done most of them before.  Capture this bad guy, save this person, protect this thing..."  He said as he rolled his eyes to show he felt about all these old style missions.  

He kind of knew Elise a little bit, he's seen the Guild Master speak about her before and Bert didn't remember a bad word said about her.      He leaned towards her and whispered, "I've heard about a tournament between different guilds, and the winner gets a large amount of money and bragging rights."  He grinned.  "I'm going to enter it and hopefully win.  What about yourself, Elise?"  He asked with a twinkle in his eye.  "Care to take a gamble?" He asked as he took a coin from his pocket and flipped it off his thumb and into the air.
