After listening to what Gunthar had to say, hearing him mention Alizome's smile, while complimenting the bard even as he acknowledges his bluff. Xarces nods "Ya see, I've been telling her the same thing since the moment I met her, she truly dose have a beautiful smile." Xarces states, shooting Alizome a quick grin of his own before his attention turns back to Gunthar. "50 gold then eh? and a whole 100 for trade goods, your not planning on bringing a herd of live stock along for the journey are you?" Xarces asks with a joking demeanor, though in all honesty he did wonder as to what the man planned to buy for that amount of coin. Though Xarces would not press the issue as he realizes after looking to Alizome that she must have been having a similar morning to him. It only made sense of course, what after all they had both been through.<br/><br/>With that in mind Xarces looks to Gunthar with a smile "You'll have your hundred gold by the time the day is out, the fifty shall be exchanged tomorrow before we depart. But!, before all that, what'dya say I buy you a drink, then we can go over the specifics..... In fact, how about I buy everyone a drink? We had a hell of a voyage getting here, you all deserve some time to unwind..... I say we take the rest of the day to do just that,  enjoy ourselves a little while we have the opportunity. Rest up tonight, and we can set out in the morning. After all, that should give Gunthar here, time to make the preparations he needs for our up and coming journey." Xarces would say while motioning to the barkeep.<br/><br/>Xarces was sincere in wanting his companions to have a good time, to relax and unwind .  Though at the same time he wanted to use the opportunity to get to learn a little more about the man who would be leading them into the jungle, before simply handing him the money. When the drinks arrive at the table, the bard would be the first to take up a mug, raising it high in the air, offering a toast to any whom may take him up on the offer. "To our recent victory...." His eyes darting down to notice the tooth that hung around Alizome's neck, nestled securely within her cleavage, a reminder of the very victory of which he spoke,  a smile crossing his lips before he continues "and to our future victories yet to come!"
