With his expression hidden behind his mask, Nuva simply nodded at the man's impressive skillset. Becoming a monster hunter wasn't strictly so difficult, after all. Anybody with sufficient confidence and combat training could do it. Trackers were a tad harder to come by, at least in a city. And since the girl Lis hadn't shown her face around yet, well... he might even be able to claim the entire bounty for himself, if he was lucky. As for distance, a mere eight miles could be traversed in a couple of hours or even less, if one made a good pace. With any luck, he'd have the troll's head and be back in the city before dinnertime.

'Barring any unforeseen circumstances, such as additional trolls, we do have a deal: twenty gold for the troll's head. We can discuss extras afterwards if necessary.' He held out his hand, gloved of course, to shake on the transaction. Very business-like, of course. Not that unforeseen circumstances would come about, but just in case, Nuva wanted to make it clear that he expected to be doing this specific job, and not substantially more than he'd been told he would be doing.

'Where should I meet you once I return?' he asked, wanting to make sure he knew where to go for payment. Once that location had been described to him, he said his farewells to the man, then promptly set off out the gate and northward, the location and goal clear in his mind. He had a cave to find, and a troll to slay.
