**In the Tobacconist's Shop**<br/><br/>Serge surveys the area outside the window. The street, a small road coming off of the main road of Waterdeep, seems to be getting progressively less busy as the twilight become evening, and a few minutes after they enter the building a young man from the Guild of Chandlers and Lamplighters refills and lights the oil lamps outside on the street corners.<br/><br/>There's an alleyway going down each side of The Copper Cup, but they are clean and decently well lit from the street lamps and the red glow coming from the light coming through stained glass inside the building. The only place that Serge has a difficult time seeing from inside the tobacconist's shop is upward due to the overhanging eave of the building. He can't see the top of The Copper Cup, but he can see the front and down one alleyway fairly clearly.<br/><br/>**Inside The Copper Cup**<br/><br/>The gnome seems unimpressed with Wren as he tags and stamps Cail's hand. He arcs an eyebrow and frowns.<strong>"We have everything you could need inside. Our equipment is kept clean, and if there is anything you need that you cannot find for yourself, ask one of our attendants and they will procure it for you."</strong>He then points to the back, snaps his fingers, and holds out a hand to take it. After Cail makes his statement, the gnome's mood changes, but only becoming slightly more cooperative.<strong>"Either turn it in or let us search it. I assure you that though this may seem inconvenient, we will maintain this level of security for all other guests to The Copper Cup to ensure your safety while you enjoy our services."</strong><br/><br/>As far as Cail can tell, the gnome is being perfectly sincere about safety concerns, and the shelves of bags and items behind him, all neatly tagged and kept separate from others' belongings, seems to indicate that the system they have in place is working for them. The gnome seems like a stickler for the rules, but he also seems like someone you can trust to do his job without trying to screw you over.<br/><br/>They notice that the bouncer has taken notice of the situation, though he hasn't moved in their direction. He's keeping an eye on them from his post in front of the curtain.
