The halfling takes Eanos' hand, seemingly pleased with this show of civility. "Phedilo. Phedilo Crea," he nods in greeting. "A pleasure, I'm sure. Thank you for your interest in my offer of employment."
The halfling pauses a moment, as if uncertain of what to say in response to Eanos' question. "As for the nature of the item in question, sir..." He looks around warily a moment, then seems to decide that straightforwardness is the best approach. "Well, to be honest, sir, it is a sensitive matter, meaning that discretion is of the utmost importance. I will gladly reveal the nature of the item to you in time, to be sure, but this would require a, ahh...more discrete location. Besides," he adds mysteriously, "it is not an object that is simply summarized."
"I can tell you, however, that both the object and the circumstances surrounding said object are of such a nature so as to warrant the assistance of ones as...ah, able-bodied as yourselves." He glance drifts from Eanos to the obviously dangerous Maui still lounging at the bar.
