Cadmus did not shift his expression in any telling way until coin was presented, then he inspected the bag. He could tell by the look in the man's eye, the bite, like a cautious old guard dog in his voice, and most importantly, the amount of pay produced without even bargaining, that he was not help with much trust yet. This was where what he knew about being a solider would not serve him, so he had to think back about his lessons on being a merchant, as he looked into the pouch he decided to take a gamble the bag fell and hit the table with a jingle and twack.<br/>"Forgive my offense senator. But I am not a man who accepts pay when pay is not due. Pay me when you pay all of your staff. If I am worth what you offer now than I will be worth more come then. If I am not, well, let it never bee said that Cadmus of Corinth took a coin from anyone that he did fairly get." If nothing else, he woudl come out of this with it being said that he was a man of some class, and not just a man who solid a good story, rather than a good service. He agreed with a legionaries disciplined tone  to everything the senator said, and when the servant came he also followed without a word. He would have to send for his things later. Inspecting the room provided for him he decided that would most certainly do, he was hardly picky about those types of things. Now, all he had to do was wait.
