<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/9/96/HalfOrcMonk.jpg)</div><strong>Raz the Black (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=266718.msg13155529#msg13155529)</strong><br/><br/>Raz laughed boisterously when Ix asked what he'd sell, "Some people would pay well for a good ass-beating," he answered for both himself and Kayanna, "Besides, there are<em>bigger</em>assets that might be in more demand.  Maybe as a second service? Raz continued, leaning closer to Ix and whispering, hoping to figure out how to tell if a tabaxi were to blush, "First hit is always free... either of your choice, Ix."  But the larger matter at hand was a possible job and apples.  Raz did like apples.<br/><br/>"Tev, is it?" he asked, turning his mug upside down so the maid would know it was empty and to refill it.  "I'll make you a deal.  You see that we're satisfactorily compensated and we'll deal with your walking tree problem, whatever the cause."  There was something unique about the way he used the word we and its derivatives, a subtle hint that it could be as narrow as the royal we and just include him, or as expansive as it might be, if others wanted to join.  "And maybe this problem will go away permanently.  I could use a good stroll.  So," he paused, leaning onto the table toward the man, his face curled into a smile that was either intimidating or friendly - it was difficult to be sure, "What could you offer that would satisfy my friends and I here?"  Money was good, but he'd take other services in exchange.
