He was mildly surprised at Kathryn's refusal of payment. True she was already being paid for dealing with goblins in the area, but aiding him in his investigation? Most folk he had worked with in prior years would not have given a second thought to getting paid for helping him. Perhaps times have changed more in the last several decades than he anticipated. Well at least in the matter in which pay was offered outright. It was possible that the disappearance of Samuel and the dressmaker's daughter could be related to the goblin issue Kathryn and her group were hired for. Rickard was unsure of the little he knew about either disappearance would help them track down goblins. Maybe there was more to the disappearances, or even to this group that Kathryn was a part of.

As Kathryn introduced the recently arrived purple clad woman, Rickard gave a curt nod. "[Color=ed1c24]Greetings Victoria. I was discussing with Kathryn a person I had come into the town to visit. His father had not heard from him in sometime and asked me to make sure nothing happened to him. Unfortunately it seems he is missing and no one here has really noticed until recently.[/color]" 

His attention shifted back towards the doors as someone called out that the man next to the door was in need of help. The person in question looked to be a tiefling, and also appeared to most likely be from an area with warmer climate. She had slapped the unconscious man twice in an attempt to wake him. To her credit he did seem to wake up some. Kathryn called out to the tiefling, naming her Kosara, telling her to leave the man alone. Shortly after the commotion started, another woman approached the two and said something that Rickard could not hear from his position as the bar. From what little he could see she did not seem to pleased by the matter at hand. 

"[Color=ed1c24]I presume the you know her?[/color]" The question was Kathryn but Rickard had not turned to face her. The scene that was unfolding in the doorway had his attention, as it did for other patrons. He mentally started to ready himself to intervene should the situation escalate, though he was not sure it would. Reasonably the most he could do right now was watch and wait.
