@Garth
Would you prefer a half-naked Dwarf?

"The problem with elves is they ain't got no meat on their bones. You gotta get yourself a nice 250 pound dwarf, with hair on her chin you can hang on to! Ah, ah, ah!"

Keystone

Location: Crossed Swords Inn & Tavern

Interacting With: Cremwise, Party

Keystone viewed the stacks of silver casually as Cremwise set them down neatly in front of the group. He listened patiently as their potential employer laid out the brief overview of the job; what was to be expected, route, destination, etc., but there remained quite a bit unmentioned.

Times past, this kind of work was a bread & butter opportunity, something stable that filled in the gaps between paid fights and bouncing, if he so chose. The experience taught him to ask for specifics of his contract holders and insist on certain standards for himself and the people working with him. Many unscrupulous merchants might use the opportunity to take advantage of good people, experienced with combat but not with the particulars of private hire guard work.

Keystone laced his fingers together and popped his knuckles in front of his chest, and leaned forward to speak.

"Got a few questions, I do." he began in a rather businesslike voice, vocalized through his decidedly underclass accent, "Money you've got out is right enough for a few days, no problems there. Only it's the incidentals got me foggy. I'll try an' sum up quick."

"First, is our contract endin' when we get to the next town over, or when we return here?"

"Next, we're workin' with our own gear for starts, but how're we set up to replace or reimburse personal stuff what gets lost or damaged during?"

"Movin' on, how're we ranking ourselves, or are we figuring this out as we go, just under you?"

"Now, I'd greatly like knowin' what we're risking m'self for. What're you hauling so important it takes us through angry green folk you people're at war with?"

His professional demeanor dropped for a moment as a boyish smile curled half of his face. He shook his head in small, barely perceptable motions. A thought occurred to Keystone, trivial really, but as long as he had the attention of the man funding the expedition it seemed the best time to bring it up. "Aw, hells... hows 'bout food? We talking road bread and turnips 'ere, or what? I might could give a hand on that."

The lopsided grin faded back into more of a neutral look of semi-stoicism. Keystone glanced back at the small stacks of coins, hesitant to pick up the one marked for himself right at that moment. General etiquette on matters such as this suggested that and deal he would enter into began as soon as hands met silver. Though his personal life was chaotic at best, he liked keeping business clear and open. Few things provoked his irritation like a shady deal.

El Sasquatcho does not suck goats. El Sasquatcho is an avid patron of the Taco Hut. Excellent grilled burritos. If very small, El Sasquatcho Infame, Sangre de los Santos will use the heavenly rolled sandwiches as thing which he will hollow out and consume from the inside.

Well, after the cheese cools a bit.

You know, all the drama piled upon the devout (and only somewhat proselytizing) Cleric is going to change significantly when we get hurt. Or at least we won't giggle quite as much.

Keystone

Location: Crossed Swords Inn & Tavern

Interacting With: Persephone, Others

A stony, dead stare trained on Lucan as he began to speak, referring to Keystone in a manner that seemed impulsively rude and potentially quite unsafe. The pugilist regarded the prettier man with narrowed eyes, inclining his neck in incremental amounts until his vertebrae popped audibly. Quite possibly, Keystone had just met his new best friend for this outing. He would have to take note of the man's actions for a bit; tiny notes of disharmony had an annoying tendency to turn into problems, especially during times when the group would have to rely on each other to stay safe.

He had minor concerns with others in the newly formed company. The archer, Kyra, instructing the group like she'd already been contracted as their Captain, Cremwise ignoring his inquiry as to the particulars of this job. Admittedly, most of these people hadn't been up as long as he had; perhaps everyone needed a strong cup of tea and a good breakfast before they were willing to talk business. Maybe he needed the same, for similar reasons.

He forced himself to remain optimistic. Ish. If his endeavor in this regard suceeded, one could not see it on his face. Not that he was scowling, more than keeping a neutral expression and his eyes open.

He did brighten, if slightly, when Persephone made it downstairs. "G'morning, Sephy. You missed forms n' such earlier, but we're just in time for breakfast. Y'rest ok?" At this time, he was unsure whether his comparatively more genial approach with her was because she was a pretty face or a potential ally. Either way, she had provided the longest stretch of civil conversation Keystone had experienced in weeks, and that merited something. Even if all his limited social interaction skills could muster was more civility.

Famously, I'm sure.

Now, let's get on with the tickle fights and sleepovers! Maybe they can stay up late and braid each other's hair, eat cookie dough, explain to Maxus what "cookie dough" is, watch scary movies... and in the morning, Maxus is making Space Waffles!

They're like regular waffles.

But from space.

@Jotunn Draugr

Thanks for that. Yeah, my guy is a pretentious ass, and will be played as such until he's spent more time around people. He's a good wartime companion to have, but that bedside manner... not so much.

@Jotunn Draugr

If you would, what are the specifics on the rifle you've got your girl aiming at Maxus? If you decide off of general principle to shoot him because he's an ass (wouldn't blame you), I'd like to figure if it'll get past his force field or merely knock his head back.

Kinda like this...
