Flint seemed rather taken aback for a moment that his aunt would so readily agree to a body guard.<strong>"Oh, well.... ok then.  I'll send some one up first thing in the morning.  I know how you like to go out and about at all hours, but do you think you can manage to stay out of trouble till tomorrow's first light?"</strong><br/><br/>Her father made a harumphing snort of laughter,<strong> "Really grandson?" </strong>He asked incredulously.<br/><br/>Flint shrugged as he looked at Velma, who had chosen that exact moment to inspect her currently very human fingernails,<strong> "Well, It doesn't hurt to dream does it?"</strong><br/><br/>Then turning back to Velma he asked her,<strong>"Honestly do you think you could do your poor worried nephew this small favor and stay out of trouble for half a day?  I'll even try to find an body guard that won't get in your way over much.  Lets see, I know Rohnan the half orc is free, he's smarter than he acts and looks, and strong.  Or Tinka the gnome, she's bright, but she might spend half the day asking you about your alchemy lab.  Oooh, how about Jax, that lazy halfling.  I know his leg is mended and he's a pervert but he's got sharp eyes and even sharper ears." </strong>Dwalin made a snort of derision,<strong>"No grandfather, no halflings?" </strong>Dwalin just sighed and crossed his arms against his chest.  He wasn't saying no, but it was obvious he didn't think much of Jax.  "<strong>Fine, I could see if Shuga the half-hobgoblin is interested.  She's just back from a venture to the wilds and a member of the mages guild as well, so she could go with you there if you needed.  Do you have a preference Aunt Velma?"</strong><br/><br/>He waited for her response and then said,<strong>"Lets go outside for some fresh air, you can talk to me about this private matter?"</strong><br/><br/>Dwalin waved his hands,<strong>"Fine fine, it's not like I'm not going to find out eventually anyways.  Go, I don't need your secrets, I've got a tavern to run!"</strong>
