A quick scan of the inn's clientele revealed the obvious; the place was a favored resting stop of merchants. Although Sampson's wares were more intangible then foodstuffs and trade goods, the revelation of who frequented this establishment put him more at ease. Although merchants were prime targets for thieves, it'd take either a really stupid or really brazen pickpocket to decide stealing from the obvious mercenaries was better than their usual marks. Still, if one was either of those Sampson would be more than happy to reward them with a broken arm and some missing teeth.<br/><br/>“<strong>I’ve risked my life for less</strong>” Sampson replied bluntly to Wil, idly tapping a finger on the rough wooden table, “<strong>unless she's got a private army, it'll take more than a few catspaws to off the crew we've got here.</strong>” The confidence in Sampson's voice at that declaration made him seem truthful in the assertion; with everything from a savage barbarian to a heavily-armored noble in the party, what's the worst that could happen?<br/><br/>Hearing about the baths being unisex surprised Sampson, but not in the same way it surprised the poor maiden sitting with them. At a place like this, the Fighter assumed they'd at least have separate facilities. No matter, public bathing was a fact of martial life, what could change when a womanly figure was added to the mix? "<strong>It's just a bit of skin, lass</strong>" Sampson said reassuringly to Arlana as he pushed himself away from the table. The girl's innocence was plain to see, but how long was this virginal view of the world going to last before the job's end? Giving a hearty exhalation as he got onto his feet, Sampson looked to the party members in the discussion before concluding in his familiar baritone, "<strong>Well, unless anyone has something important to say, I'm off to soak.</strong>"<br/><br/>Sampson strode to the backdoor that led to the bathing area... But not before passing Jean. Her discomfort upon seeing someone wasn't lost to the Mercenary, but Sampson wasn't exactly in the state of mind to sit down and give her a heart-to-heart; she was a fine enough woman, but solving her personal issues wasn't what he was being paid for. Still... After keeping his focus on her a second longer than necessary, he arrived at the door and was gone.<br/><br/>(Exit stage right to Springs.)
