Moss is not immune to the look the elf gave him, even as he had largely become used to it. The Dragon Isles were very culturally diverse, and Moss had spent some time being gawked at from leaving those sanctuary islands. It was an unfortunate reality of being a six foot turtle person that, inevitably, some thought him a monster. Some of his kin might even have been forgiven for furthering that notion. Still, Moss felt no immediate need to comment on the matter, preferring to move ahead with their negotiations.<br/><br/>Rowan of course, has her piece to say on the matter, and Moss listens to these with curiosity, anxious to see how other races prefer to do business. A traveler first and foremost, he takes no umbrage to being passed over in the conversation, recognizing that he is not the focal point of this discussion, and judging that the human will probably have better luck extracting information from the racist elf. Privately, he thought he approach a bit rude, in that she did not not lay out her full meaning of things, but perhaps the younger races liked to sort such matters out quickly.<br/><br/>While they spoke back and forth on matters of money, Moss absently takes the time to count his coin, trying to get an appreciation for the amounts they are discussing. He is, of course, familiar with currency, having dealt with the pirates that cohabited his people's island, but the concept of small flat discs of metal as currency still strikes him as odd. He is also a bit concerned, as he already has fifteen gold pieces in his small bag, and isn't sure that he can hold an additional fifty. He says as much as he interjects, sharing the concern while at the same time dissembling what the elf had said.<br/><br/>"By the say, and I hate to be a bother with such matters, but I only have room in my bag for an additional...twenty...twenty five gold pieces. If we're getting more than that as my share, I would ask for a small coin bag to be part of the payment. These little chunks of metal are quite annoying to keep track of. As to the other point though, I would be remiss if I didn't ask as to what sort of method you use in keeping the mound in line. Do you feed it treats? Take it for walks around the property? Pay it in small metal discs as well? I'm sure it would be advantageous if it carried wealth with it. My associate seems quite astute and finding gold."
