Margot heard the following: 

[color=f7941d]“What a coincidence, we were also heading to Irinoth. Perhaps we could bring you along if you can prove to us that you’ve got a skill valuable enough to warrant it. Of course, if my companion here is also alright with that,”[/color] said Mister Blond Hair. [@TheDemonHound]

[color=#ff39d6]"Hm?"[/color] said Mister Dark Hair, who smiled. [color=#ff39d6]"There are several ships departing soon. I suppose you'll need to pay your fare?"[/color] Pause. [color=#ff39d6]"I suppose it can't be helped, can it? Safe travels."[/color] [@Emeth]

Suddenly, a purse of... COIN??? ... was handed out to Margot from Mister Dark Hair. Margot grabbed the coin purse and tried to feel it's weight. It was HEAVY! Without hesitation or fear of embarrassment, she looked into the bag and her eyes opened wide!

[i]That's 200 gold coins, right there!!![/i]

Immediately, several thoughts flashed through Margot's mind, all in quick succession:

First:
[i]Wow, that's a lot of time weed money![/i] She licked her lips and thought about all the mushrooms she could buy from the black market at her home town. She could visualize all the "trippy" experiences she could attain from smoking all that time weed.

Second:
[i]I can finally afford a good place to sleep for the night! Yay me![/i]

Third:
[i]Mister Dark Hair just gave me 200 gold coins without so much as talking to me for more than 10 seconds! What else can I get from him?[/i]

All three thoughts unraveled in her mind, until something else clicked in her mind: [i]Wow, these guys are loaded!!! And I LOVE rich men! I wonder how much Mister Blond Hair and Mister Dark Hair are worth? How RICH are they? [/i]

Now, she glanced at Mister Dark and Blond Hair and saw them differently, as well as an irresistible opportunity. [i]Didn't Mister Blond Hair offer me to go with them? That's exactly what I wanted before they even spoke. And after all this, I'm pretty certain that's exactly what I want after.[/i] She licked her lips, thinking about how her chances of obtaining the 250,000 gold -- and maybe even a rich husband -- suddenly improved right in front of her.

She spoke. [color=8dc73f]"I am a great element mage of incalculable caliber armed with an immeasurable number of destructive spells in my arsenal and I [i]assure[/i] both of you that my participation in your group will result in vast profits for ALL of us. Both of you want me on your team, Mister Blond and Mister Dark Head. Um... what are your names, again?"[/color] Margot flashed both of them a grin that for once was actually genuine... because she really, really wanted the money from both the 250,000 gold reward and from whatever both rich guys had in their networth, and she really wanted to go on the adventure.

She was so excited to go with Mister Blond Hair and Mister Dark Hair that she didn't even notice the bar fight.
