"Aye lass, if it's a story ye be wantin', I have plenty to be tellin'. And lad me name is Caelyn," nodding to Leopold. Caelyn took a moment to look around the the inn, taking in all of its grandeur. "Someone must really love this place. They took time that only someone proud of der craft would be doin'. Reminds me of the grand halls of me homeland, or so I be told. Don't really remember too much a'fore the orphanage." "Arco me boy, pick us a table and lets get our bellies full. I have three new holes I be countin' and I intend to fill them all with food and drink! And don't ye worry me boy, I got me coin if anyone be payin' it'll be me for yer help back there." Caelyn leaned into Leo and said "You said it was free right?" throwing him a wink. Caelyn got a good look at the innkeep. He looked like a person that had many stories to tell. "Aye master innkeep, I didn't catch yer name. But I want ye to be knowin' this place is a holy site for us all to be sure. Ye be givin' us all sanctuary after trudging through that hell of a forest! I am sure its fine and dandy for the elf-folk and all, but not so much for me. What I be meanin' is ye have me thanks," and Caelyn mustered all of his strength to bow properly as he knew to the innkeep. He immediately regretted that when a sharp pain returned his stomach. "Right, how about those drinks!? And if you be hearin' any dire bears, don't be worryin' its just me tummy!" Caelyn let out a hearty laugh. For the first time since he could remember he was in a place that people sincerely wanted to help people. He had never seen such generosity except from his Madre. She would give the shirt off of her back to make sure no one went without. A tear started forming in his eyes. "Arco lad, I have many fun stories, but tonight I be thinkin' of tellin' you one of me Madre, the kindest most amazin' person I ever be knowin'." So he did, he told his whole story about how Caelyn was smuggled out of his dwarven home town at birth. He truly never knew the reason why or all. Caelyn spoke of his time in the orphanage where he met Tomas and went on about the many life lessons she had taught him. He ended his story by hoisting a tankard and said "To new beginnings, and to rememberin' where we come from." "Sorry for talkin yer head off me boy but it feels good to be keepin' her fresh in me memory, the only woman I ever loved, and probably the only one that ever loved me. Although I can't be knowin' why with me dashin' good looks." Caelyn boomed in laughter.
