[QUOTE="Binder Fred, post: 6148424, member: 63746"] The incipient smirk fades into mild surprise: Muzdin famously, religiously dislikes sharing knowledge. To actually volunteer missed pieces of information...[COLOR="Wheat"] "You are a surprising individual,"[/COLOR] admits the elf -- and that eagerness probably goes some ways to explain his unannounced presence with them this morn: he too is worried, in need of the illumination only the learned can provide... It is a sobering thought. [COLOR="Wheat"]"It -ah- began with a visit to Jorgen's general store a day and a few watches ago?"
