He covers for his missed reach by clumsily reaching across himself to take up his flagon of mulled wine.<br/><br/>"Hmmm. As you say. The bandits are gone, and with a display that will no doubt discourage others from that path. The task is done, the Guild is pleased."<br/><br/>He, on the other hand, seems a bit less than pleased with the revelation and the loss of gold.<br/><br/>"I do hate a mystery, and a stranger moving new pieces on a game board is never a welcome sight." He pauses and looks around, assuring himself that no one elese is in ear-shot as he continues, quietly. "Should whomever handled the matter approach the Guild, we would of course point out that you had already taken payment for that deed.
