The inn was in silence for several seconds, and Theo was just beginning to blush horribly. He had ruined his reputation among the people in the inn, and he sure as hell wouldn't be liked by any criminals if that bandit talked to anybody. Hell, Theo may have just made himself look like an edge lord who constantly threatened to kill people. He felt like he couldn't be any more embarrassed, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Alisea and Reylan. Not only had he just ruined his 'Nice Guy' reputation among a bunch of NPCs, but now his future guild would realize he could be intimidating.

A few seconds after dread and despair washed over him, a clapping rapidly began to his right - turning revealed that it was the waitress, Julia. After a few seconds, Hans joined in as well, quickly followed by many of the other inn patrons. After only a minute of applause, but what felt like an eternity to an embarrassed Theo, the clapping subsided, and both Hans and Julia rushed up to him.

[color=fff200]"That was amazing Theo! You just told him to walk away and he was tripping over himself!"[/color]

[color=f7941d]"You saved my life, adventurer - it's not much, but I'm sure I could scrounge up a reward for you."[/color]

Theo blinked several times, mind still racing from the events that had only occurred nearly moments ago. He threatened a human being - well, a human shaped piece of code, but for all purposes... that was a person that he threatened. And he wasn't acting when he said that he would kill them... That's what scared Theo the most. Not letting the shock show on his face, Theo instead waved his hand dismissively.

[color=aba000]"Please sir, you don't owe me anything! After all, it's a hero's ideal to protect people, with no intention of getting a reward!"[/color]

In reality, Theo would have greatly appreciated a few extra renn, considering his current financial situation, but Dirk would never charge people who were just about to be robbed. That would make him just as bad as the bandit.

Hans was no stranger to unruly customers, but that bandit was extremely close to killing him since the dagger was so close to his throat... Had Theo not been working at the inn, Hans wasn't sure if he would have kept the money he made that day. The fact that Theo was so intimidating was nearly as much of a surprise as to how he wanted no money in exchange for saving his life - most people had to offer decent chunks of Renn and make quests in order to get an adventurer to help them. Still, even if Theo didn't want any reward, he still worked the last 8 hours, so he deserved something.

[color=f7941d]"Still, you deserve something for your labor today. I'll go grab your wage - you can get changed back into your normal clothes, since you're off the clock."[/color]

Theo immediately made his way to the break room, before switching into his leather armor in the menu. The change only took a few seconds, but he felt more comfortable changing equipment in public, away from other people. Upon coming back and receiving his wage, Theo denied a free meal offered to him, instead paying for it with some of his recently gained Renn. Of course, it was the exact same meal he got every single time - The Shepard's pie. To be honest, he mostly bought it since he knew it was good - no point in risking to buy another meal if you're not sure if you'll like it.

Especially if you're saving up your cash and aren't willing to potentially waste it...

Theo made his way towards Alisea and Reylan, unaware of their conversation up to this point - instead, he simply sat  down at a nearby table, waiting for his food to arrive - after eating, he planned on either talking, or immediately heading to sleep.
