The Evils of Haranshire
Karon watches the interaction with a bemused expression. Setimal, or whatever his name had been, is clearly up to something, but it's hard to say what. Perhaps he's a conman working on this strange elven lady. Or he might be married to the woman, using the Sitelar name, or whatever it had been, as a pseudonym when he wants to have a little fun. Hard to say, really, but the man's discomfort with the situation is obvious and Karon has no reason to make it any more awkward.
When the man who now calls himself Lucien flips a gold coin in Karon's direction he makes no move to catch the coin, allowing it to land with a thud and then a clatter on the floor. "You mistake my intentions, sir. I thought you were someone I used to know. I'm not a beggar," he says, his eyes narrowing. He has no interest in causing the man more problems, but neither will he demean himself by taking his gold.
As the man who now calls himself Lucien retreats to a nearby table with his entourage, Karon takes in the strange group. Whatever Sileman, or whatever his name had been, is mixed in, it clearly involved some strange folk indeed. He spots another elf, a dwarf and a tall woman that looks like a tiefling. Interesting. Perhaps an half-orc won't be the most unpopular half-breed in the inn this evening.
As he looks, the bulky half-orc backs away towards the bar. He turns just as a man carrying a pint of ale attempts to scoot past him. The two collide and half the man's ale is spilled over his tunic and the floor. The man, clearly inebriated, turns with a look that is a mixture of indignation and rage on his face. "Oi, you klutz, you owe me a new..." he manages before he sees the massive half-orc he's bumped into and calms down amazingly quickly.
Karon grabs the man's shoulder to steady the drunk a little. "I apologize, I meant no harm. Here, let me buy you another drink," he says. The man looks a little surprised, and the two head to the bar where Karon orders a pair of pints, handing one to the man and taking the other to his stool by the fire. He takes a seat and turns his body enough to allow himself to enjoy the warmth from the fire but also to keep an eye on Sulin, or whatever he had said his name was, and the curious group he was probably trying to con out of their live's savings.
