Having said his piece on the matter, and had his fill of seafood, and his curiosity of the water basin, and the various patrons making deals and eating meals around him sated.  Xarius spends the remainder of his time getting a feel for the city around him, sensing his surroundings for evil. A tavern or centralized meeting place, was often a good indication for the overall state of a population, as people from all walks of life within the surrounding area tended to be present.<br/><br/>It isn't until Mona slaps his thigh that Xarius rejoins the conversation. Pulled from his concentration so abruptly, the neko can't help but clench his legs instinctively together, thus trapping the mage's hand firmly against his pelvis, along with the distinct outline of his manhood, which Mona had already been thoroughly acquainted with. "Whoah now...." he stammers, the attention having caught him off guard. "You gotta clean your plate before you can play." he then adds, slipping instantly back into a relaxed and more jovial demenor once the initial shock had passed him by.<br/><br/>The feline is surprised to hear what the rest of the group is discussing, they kicking around the idea of taking out a merchant or generally shaking things up in town before heading out toward the temple. "Spose we could do something like that... though I'd prefer to hit someone who has it coming. The merchants we dealt with today did us well enough, no sense knocking off someone like that." he adds. Turning to Chira the Paladin adds "As far as going unnoticed goes... well that's more or less what I used to specialize in. Take me out at night and they wont ever see it coming." he adds mater of factly before turning to Aron. "Personally I wouldn't mind picking up a quick contract if a suitable target isn't available."<br/><br/>With that Xarius pushes himself away from the table and returns to his feet. Indicating that he'd had his fill and was ready to move on. "No rush, take all the time you need eating, I'll be outside getting some fresh air if any of you need me." he declares, before making his way toward the exit, ensuring his tab was taken care of before heading out of course, as to not upset the staff of the establishment. Taking one look at him it would be hard to believe he was a paladin, let alone a paladin who'd spent the last day locked away as a prisoner at sea. The change of clothes, the rapier at his side, and Delia's short bow on his back , along with his general feline demeanor, gave him the look of a daring swashbuckler, someone who fit in, much more than the catboy dressed in prison rags, or imperial armor he'd been wearing upon first stepping foot onto the docks.<br/><br/><br/>(( Xarius is using detect evil as the others chat :3     then will be headed outside assuming something or someone doesnt catch his interest or halt him before making an exit. ))
