Daria looked down at her character sheet.  "5 gold", she had.  But it seems things were expensive... it sounded liked she'd definitely need rations, and water... she wasn't willing to spend the gold for the plum drink.  And as to the abused knight... Since Josh had offered to split the cost, they could go high.  After all, she didn't know how much longer he would be in there!  She didn't like the thought of a starving person having to eat the rotten fruit that had been thrown....<br/><br/><strong>"OK, I'll do the same as Josh.  As Kim, I mean."</strong>She smiled at him.<strong>"Thanks for offering to pay half ... so let's split the bigger meal, since it's already been a couple of days for him, and maybe will be days more.  So it costs me... 3 gold, for the meal, and six waters, and rations.  That just leaves me with 2 gold, so I hope we don't have more expenses coming up!"</strong>Of course, if Lisa offers to pay a portion, the 2 gold will be split 3-ways, and hopefully the guys will do the math!<br/><br/>She glanced at Paco, who had chosen not to join in on splitting the cost... that seemed selfish.  But... of course, that was his character, obviously Paco wouldn't do that himself.  She took another drink, wondering what to say in response to Sir Padrin's gallant speech.<br/><br/><strong>"I give him one of my water gourds, and then will give him food, umm, not all at once.  I've heard that's bad, if you're starving.  Or was that with thirst?  Oh well... "</strong>She took a breath, and started again.<strong>"Sir Padrin?  I am... Gwyn.  It's the least we can do."</strong>She scowled, realizing that wasn't at all true, and might sound ridiculous.  But she would plunge on... and opted for total openness.<strong>"Though we would have fed anyone in your circumstances, I admit we had a reason for coming here, when we heard what had happened to you.  We have been sent to... "</strong>she looked around at the others, and said more softly:<strong>"I don't remember the name of the town, does anyone?"</strong>If  the answer came up she used it, otherwise she went on:<strong>"to deal with the same unfortunate village, where you were after the wolves.  I'm sorry if that is... insensitive.  But we've agreed to help the people there, and thought you might have advice."</strong><br/>
