He simply placed his hand upon a waterskin and fills the tankard with water.<strong>"Aye, I could. But I stick to a contract once it's given."</strong>He took a sip to parch his throat.<strong>"And without me, she wouldn't even make it to your destination."</strong>His eyes don't waver from the man even with the slave girl now seated next to them at the table upon the floor. He wagers the old man was in need of protection and this girl was supposedly of high value. Darius was guessing it was a noble of some kind. Probably a loyalist to the Empress whom had fled past the borders with her one hundred strong force. So with that in mind, he would put the screws to the old man.<strong>"So it would be foolish to low ball your only option of getting her there."</strong><br/><br/>He continued to press the matter with his price as he elaborates exactly what he needs these funds for.<strong>"Now, part of my fee is going to cover expenses such as securing transport, nourishment for two and personal defenses. Sixty now, sixty at delivery."</strong>He pulled the offer down to one hundred and twenty total which should be a touch suitable. And it would do well in getting him some well needed equipment for himself. Charity doesn't put food on the table or repair his armor and sharpen his blade. With his case made he was waiting for him to either accept or try and cut him down more. But Darius was now feeling rather confident he had managed to talk his way through this little bit of negotiation, deducing correctly this was no ordinary slave.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Darius uses Diplomacy and makes a roll.
