'The Hell Barber? Did you get another client or something?'
"That I did, my apologizes for running here late."
'Well you missed this maiden, who may have been interested in you.'
"Really?"
'Nah, messing with you, a bit miffed I couldn't have the drink with ya. Er sorry about that, I thought it was a bit more humorous after two mugs of ale.'
*Elric sulks a bit as Samuel gives him a friendly pat on the back*
'I'm sure one day...'

Well at least I got to exchange some pleasantries with townsfolk. Need to do it with the other townsfolk as well.
