Hobnob was pulled from his thoughts by the sight of Lis' harsh stare. "I swear to the EverGod, gnome" she growled before Hobnob could ask if something was wrong "If your insane idea of a living mechanical part messes up any plans we have to deal with this job, I'll slit it's damned throat and sell it to the butcher. Then we'll be using [b]you[/b] as a counterweight".
"For your own safety, please refrain from threatening the canine counterweight" Hobnob replied before Kayden stepped in to restore the peace
"Hey now" Kayden said "Hobnob served us well on our last mission. I mean, things didn't go according to plan, but when do they ever?".
"Not very often" Hobnob commented.
"Glad you're here by the way" Kayden added "I'll grab some silver matchlock balls for you and your mates now that I'm reminded of it.".
"No need for that, Cap" Hobnob replied "My crew and I know certain enchanting techniques that can make ordinary bullets as effective against the darkness as silver bullets. So it would be wiser to spend your money elsewhere".

Once Kayden had finished shopping, Hobnob followed him to the next destination. Along the way, Hobnob noticed all the looks he was getting. These looks confused the turquoise haired gnome. Hadn't these people ever seen a gnome before? And then there was the children asking if Hobnob himself was also a child. Did they honestly think a child could grow a beard? It was very confusing indeed.
