Back outside Elric continued greeting the fellow townsfolk. "Lovely day isn't it?" A man with a scraggly beard who was dressed in white nodded, "Oh I saw the Gnome heading this way." He nodded to Elric, "And I could possibly use a shave. I'll be back in a bit for it!" 

Elric nodded, "Take care Matthew, if I haven't drummed up a customer by the time you get back I'll make sure to give you first crack in the chair." He glanced back at his right forearm, checking his handiwork. After that check he continued waving and greeting the town, while checking to see if any of them needed a haircut and a shave at this moment."
