<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 had been about to open his mouth to reply to a rather wonderful riposte from Ix when the coins hit the table.  Bouncing it in his hand, he felt the weight and listened to the glancing clangs of the coins hitting each other.  For Raz, it was full enough that it at least approximated what he was supposed to be paid; being underpaid wasn't uncommon for Raz and after a time or seven of protesting, he'd learned to let it go.  Life had a way of working itself out; some might call it karma but for Raz, wrongs moved so much faster than rights.  Occasionally you even got to see the wrong repaid which was a right all of its own.  Geiron, his eyes raised when the other half-orc did, had a look on his face that he was still where Raz had been.  But instead of saying something, he just brought the liquid in the mug up to his lips, turned in his seat and smiled at Ix.<br/><br/>"Dazzling memories so beautiful?" he replied, one eyebrow raised in silent question, "It would not be difficult to imagine that," he winked, turning his head slightly when he heard what sounded like metal on flesh, registering it in his mind before returning to the Tabaxi, "I think Geiron also believes that we might have been underpaid.  Maybe a bit more forceful request than I would have," he grinned finally, stretching his back to attempt to see through the windows at the front.  "Another round?" he asked, looking at his three-fourths empty mug and then leaning over to check hers, intentionally oblivious to the ruckus outside.
