"That's a bill I doubt few could ever match." Sharon answered with a tragi-comic grin as Mei ran off; but mainly only to hide his own feelings of the situation.

[i]"Well... except perhaps that old insurance deal I made a while back. I wonder if it applies to houses trashed by giant demons. As long as I don't mention how I sort of created her, I think it should be good!"[/i]

Sharon privately imagined ten different strategies on how to approach the Dwarven bankers he had made the deal with, all the while eying the Draenei clerks around the bank. At least they should be easy to deal with when compared to Dwarves! Though when one of them asked both Vashi and him, Sharon chuckled.

"Whilst some may call me a lover, it's these two that are together." Sharon said with a charming smile as he motioned towards the direction Mei had ran off to and back over at Vashi. However, said maneuver would only make the High Elf attentive of just what sort of withdrawal Vashi was actually making!

"Excuse me, I do not mean to interrupt!" Sharon was quick to pull Vashi a little aside, despite her being a good head taller than him, before pulling her a little down so that he could whisper into her ear.

"Listen, Vashi; your thoughtful attitude is endearing and all, but we may need a bit more than just money for the rune. Remember, for the fight, we might need to stock up on potions, equipment, ingredients, buy new weapons and keep a little-something should some unforeseen investment options appear. Not to mention for stay, preferable above-average level of comfort, as my mansion; as discussed earlier; has been wholly demolished."

...

"In short, you may wish to raise that withdrawal amount with a few thousand gold pieces at least!"
