"I very much appreciate the offer but I insist on payin' for my drink. Wouldn't feel right." Vlad said sliding a gold coin across the table
"Though I would appreciate change." he said with a small grin. Vlad had been on the other end of this transaction more than a few times and knew that as grateful as he ever was, getting paid was always a pretty nice bonus for a split second decision of charity.
Vlad prepared to down his second drink when a small child walked into the Tavern looking for a krusczek. It was only after a second glance that he realized the kid was in fact a gnome.
"Can't be sure" Vlad said as he turned around to face the gnome
"but that human fellow with the crossbow seemed to be one if I had to venture a guess. Those bolts had somethin' goofy about 'em. Also, I'm Vlad, pleasure to meet ya Anne." The Half-Orc said as he stretched his arm down to offer the gnome a handshake.
