[QUOTE="Waynan, post: 7584630, member: 6876299"] Tam replies, Respen hearing his chuckling thoughts and catching a glimpse of the halflings inherently bold braggadocio, well cultivated from being a business man having to oversell his wares as a jeweller: [COLOR=#008080]"Why Respen, you should know that a people showing of such strength, courage and pride can only respect the same being returned. There was no wit or humor implied. This is business. A businessman can tell the difference between a huckster, a haggler and a guinea hen.
