The dragon blood gives a speculative look running from Azure to Galus. Then he stops and hums. "Want that rum now, or to take with you? I can swing either, but just want to know."<br/><br/>He also sends for the two silk wrapped shekels, and turns them around, showing off the milling, and the thin outlines of crossed axes where the coins would be carved out. It also shows that they're legitimate money. "Here's the initial down payment to show that I'm good. If you take the rum with you, I'll have it by the end of the day. If you're going to bring everyone and drink it here, first how many ships do you have, and second, come around dusk. I have some assigned work to do, strangely enough."<br/><br/>Galus laughs in relief as Valus walks away. "I was afraid he was going to comment on the poor color of my hair." He pushes the food towards Azure. "And lemme guess, now I'm going to have to explain a bit more about what Sifu said."
