Chrrou practically sighs in relief, finally smiling as he goes to hoist himself into a nearby seat at the bar. Reaching one paw back toward the right pocket of his haversack, he hesitates for a moment; he can't remember for the life of him what a drink's supposed to cost in civilized company, and that goes triple when one drinker is so huge at a bar made for those so small. After the pause, though, he reaches into his pack and without hesitating or pausing to check the denomination withdraws five gold coins from the pouch, placing them on the bar and sliding them closer to the pair. It shouldn't be more than that, he's sure. "Thanks... If I had a better way to show my gratitude, I would-- I heard that you weren't... well... really compensated for what you did. Not everyone would do that, and... these days, heroes are even rarer to find."<br/><br/>Clearing his throat and clearing his mind, the mouse opens his mouth, spreads his paws... and ends up looking sheepishly lost. "I'm sorry, I... I hardly know where to begin. Huge ferals, armed and trained warriors, some kind of demon-- I don't know how much of the story is true, and even if I did I can't tell where it all leads. Do you... do you have any idea who set this up? Is there... any idea, any coordinated effort to..." He pauses for thought as something strikes him, but afterward he leans forward with greater interest. "And you said that you who defended us are getting back together again today-- Why's that?" Something in that line of thinking seems to excite him.<br/><br/>He doesn't seem to react much to Fiona's contribution, in fact avoiding her somewhat; he's still a little embarassed over his mixup... but... it really DOES smell like there's a cat nearby! He could have sworn... if he wasn't so busy concentrating on the others, he'd take the time to get to the bottom of this.<br/><br/>At Geno's appearance, though, he perks up, turns in his seat, and offers a pleased wave, though he's too busy listening to offer a greeting of his own yet.<br/><br/>{{Sorry about over-dialoguing the past couple of posts, just didn't want to slow things down TOO much with all the back-and-forth time between posts.<br/><br/>...Edited once to take into account things that happened in the previous couple of posts, which I didn't see before I posted mine. My mistake.}}
