Jub's ears pricked up as he heard someone behind him speak, and he glanced over his shoulder to see a human woman. How long had she been standing there? This was the second time today Jub the Peculiar's legendary senses had failed him. He'd have to be more vigilant. More importantly, those words she had just said, about things not being for free... sounded really familiar, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it. 

Jub shook his head. Oh well. It would come back to him later. He pocketed the green pair of wings before the ticket goblin suddenly addressed him, mentioning his previous conversation with the bugbear. Beneath his hood, Jub started to sweat. [color=CCCC22]"Ha... indeed, I, err, have spoken to the gentleman over there,"[/color] he said with a feigned laugh. [color=CCCC22]"Just a passing, err, friendly conversation if you will. I don't know the man personally, of course."[/color] Anyone who had spoken to Jub previously would immediately pick up on the strain in his voice. When the ticket goblin asked him to bring the bugbear over here, Jub gave another small laugh. [color=CCCC22]"Ha... you got it, my eloquent friend, I'll, err..."[/color] He stepped out of the line. [color=CCCC22]"I'll be right back."[/color] He hurriedly made his way over to the bugbear before anyone else could speak to him.

Once he reached Brutrumukk, Jub immediately dropped his grandiose demeanor. [color=CCCC22]"So, err, there's a complication,"[/color] he said to the bugbear.
