Likely, the only reason he didn't bet such a thing was because he knew it simply wasn't possible.<br/><br/>When they flew down to the earth, the streets looked as if they were just <em>crawling</em> with the thousands of people down below. It wasn't every day that a pair of flying adventurers came down from the sky, and the pair were greated with looks of awe and surprise. The half-celestial drew his wings up close to his back to compensate for the cramped surroundings as all sorts of goblinoids and other monstrous humanoids passed by them. Even a few humans and halflings, and Ellen swore that she saw a pointy-eared fellow amongst the crowd.<br/><br/>Rath looked around, scratching his chin as he got up on his tip toes to look over the crowd. "Let's see..." He began, "I think textiles over there, magic services... cuisine..." He looked over to another alley, "And curios there."<br/><br/>"Come on."
