[b][color=662d91]Interacting with:[/color][/b] Jack, Fauve
[b][color=662d91]Mentions:[/color][/b] [@Valkon] [@Candy][/center][hr]What really surprised Gabriel was the fact that the man was actually accomodating - answering the questions without getting all defensive. You don't get to see that many people here. Usually, people who own such high profile magical artifact need a lot more persuasion and a lot more bribing before they answer questions. That or they just flaunt around what they have so that they would be regarded as 'cool' or 'awesome' or something close to that. Gabriel wasn't sure if he was glad or wary that this person wasn't like that at all.

Of course, it may be because the man was lying all about it with a straight face. That was always an option. But Gabriel always gave people the benefit of the doubt. After all, if there was none, then he wouldn't have any sort of information that he believed was true. Then, he'd actually be royally screwed. Besides, he wasn't alien to lying about how he got things. After all, putting an exaggerated story along with an item always increases the chance of it getting sold. Gabriel has firsthand experience on that, along with acual teachings from his sneaky father. But what would this man gain from lying to them?

As Gabriel wasn't really paying much attention to Fauve, given how she didn't exactly have anything of interest and seemed to be just your run-on-the-mill traveler, he was taken by surprise when she suddenly burst out into laughter and called him out on his lie. Wow, she really was shaping up to be one of the noisy ones. Gabriel didn't mind as much as others - especially since they are in a tavern and taverns usually attract these types of people. She's a very boisterous person, that was for sure. Gabriel turned his head when he heard a loud 'squeal' coming from behind him to see the Myti, along withe the rest of the group, looking towards Fauve but then turned back to do what they were doing earlier.

Fauve mentioned how Gabriel would have believed that tale and he let out a small laugh of his own. [b][color=662d91]"I've heard more outragous stories than that."[/color][/b] He told the girl with a smile, not even taking a small offense to what she said. [b][color=662d91]"Not saying I fully believe it. Must be more to the story. But really, it's best to give the benefit of the doubt to all the stories you hear. Way before you wouldn't have believed monsters would be walking around, and here we are now."[/color][/b] Giving the girl another grin, he gulped down the rest of his mead before asking for another one. 

He then turned to Jack and gave him a shrug. [b][color=662d91]"Must have really been quite the eccentric traveler. You wouldn't normally give out something like that [i]for free[/i]."[/color][/b]
