Sylvia narrowed her gaze at the bartender, and when Shortfang gave his suggestion, she nodded quietly in agreement. She then took out five pieces of gold and she placed it on the bar in front of the bartender, as she suggested, "I think that talking about anything that's worth noting, might be worth talking about after all," She wasn't sure how much the Throaty Mermaid charged the patrons here, but if she was to compare the potential prices to the Silver Stag's charges, then five gold might be enough to get the bartender to talk a bit more. Or at least she hoped it would be enough.
