"Don't you start on me now, Treehugger..." With a chuckle, the gnome opens up her book and marks down Valen as a successful return on his mission. From his vantage point, the elf sees that it's only one job done, and many, many requests around it are still marked pending. A couple, at least, have been scratched out and marked that other chapters have taken them over... but the elf can only imagine the pressure Koko is going through as a chapter head with no members beneath her. "There's too many jobs that need doing for my last seeker to get delusions of grandeur on me."<br/><br/>The woman takes only what she's owed from her loan- 165 GP, all told- and then pushes the rest back to Valen. After all, it's his earning.<br/><br/>"You are still lookin' to work as a Seeker, right? Otherwise I really might have to take those Wolves up on their 'offer.'"
