All pretext of simpleness left the low voice grumbling from his chest.<strong> "I must ensure that the words twisted from thy mouth reached my ears in their correct manner, dwarf. You contracted eight men and a sergeant from the Red Company for your caravan. Do you now intend to break that contract?" </strong>He turns to his companions.<strong>"Where's the sergeant?" </strong>he asks gruffly as he stands and grabs his helmet off the table.<br/><br/>Finding the sergeant by one of the wagons, Geiron walked up nonchalantly.<strong>"Oy, 'sahge,' me an' da boyz wanna know 'bout da payoff, wot?" </strong>without warning, Geiron's helmet crashes into the side of the sergeant's head, dashing him to the ground. Again, Geiron drops his pretense.<strong>"Did you really think breaking Company law would lack consequence." </strong>His boot found the sergeant's midsection, knocking the wind from him and trapping him against the wagon wheel.<strong>"Once sealed, only the gods' will may breach contract. That's the Old Man's law. Join or die, that's the other law, remember. The law offered to those that stand against the Red Company. Or did you forget who I was?"</strong>Geiron continued to punctuate his argument with stomps and kicks to the downed sergeant. When he found his point made, he took the sergeant's purse and turned from the bloodied mass at his feet to his assembled fellows.<strong>"I guess only one of you has to stay, now,"</strong>he joked as he pushed his way through them and back to the bar. He knew his career with the Red Company was over for striking an officer, just as he knew the sergeant's was, too, for letting himself be beat by one of his men.<br/><br/>As he walked past Tenbar, he added,<strong>"You might be a good fellow and try to find enough for one more to fulfill your contract."</strong>He took another step and turned, growling,<strong>"And a fair wage for the cat, too."<br/></strong><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">The above is totally subject to edit if I took too much license.

Regardless, Geiron took his pay from the sergeant (as a representative of his employer, the Red Company) and he considers that the end of it. Conveniently, the sergeant's purse probably contained exactly 15 gold, 5 silver and 10 copper. Imagine that. ;) </div></div>
