"But sweating under the weight of this much gold is a GOOD thing" she said to herself.She hadn't wanted Richter's things but he didn't want to take them back, and she'd had enough of the way the rest of the party coddled the spoiled noble giving into his every whim.  Even now he was still dressed in noble's clothes. "I'd like to see him spend a week, living life out on the street" she also said out loud to herself again.  Relief was in sight as she turned a corner to see Darian's temple of Lathander.  With luck she'd gotten here before he decided to tell everyone there to charge her double for everything she needed.  Luck was apparently still with her, the priests smiled and moved to help ease her strain when they saw she appraoched the temple.  "I must still have the discounted rate for being one of Darian's traveling companions.  They're going to smile even more in a few minutes." She thought to herself"Greetings fair Alya, how can the servants of the morning lord help you on this sun filled day?""I seek a boon from your head priest, good sir.  I have a fairly large request to ask, but I am willing to make a fairly sizable donation to the church to express my thanks."The young priest took one look at the sacks of gold weighing more than 55 pounds and rushed off to summon the high priest.  "Ahh temple priests" she though to herself "They are the same the world over"The high priest approached, even his eyes widened at the large sacks of gold.  Alya wondered if the temple would see a new solid gold sun on the altar before the week was out.  If Richter's blacksmith father were to forge it, that would just be the cherry on the icing on the cake.  The icing was coming up right now."Holy father, I seek a boon. perhaps if we could talk in private, this may take awhile.""Any friends of young master Domgard is more than welcome to the aid of the servants of the sun.  Especially ones so very generous in their donations" Said the high priest as they exited to his private chambers..........................................................................................................As she left the temple, she felt like she could walk on air.  Thanks to Darian it was cheaper than she'd hoped, and given the church's generous nature she had confidence Darian and his family would certainly be recieved even more warmly by the church than before.  Cake, icing, cherry, frosting on the cherry...hmm, all this imagery had put her in the mood for some real cake though.As she entered the inn, she was carrying a cupcake with a frosted cherry on top. She'd bought from a bakery down the street."Richter, your debt to me is cancelled."  She said "And Darian, sorry to you too for whatever, and your church and any other injury I may have caused you, let me know if you want me to apologize in writing.""Soooo heartfelt Alya" replied Darian.  Richter, for once didn't say anything.  Not even a thank you for releasing him for him Geas 5000 gold short.  But it didn't really matter, nothing they thought did.  She'd gotten what she'd most wanted since she'd started out with them, there was had been no reason to make the rich brat suffer any more than was neccessary, it was obvious he wasn't going to learn anything, but that didn't matter either.  She mentioned where and to whom she'd sold Richter's things, on the off chance Richter would stop wallowing in his own self misery long enough to think to try getting them back.  Richter thought she was just rubbing it in.As she walked back to her room she sang a tune she remembered from her childhood. "Love come quick, love come in a hurry..."  She obscured the last line from hearing with a mouth full of frosted cherry topped frosted cupcake.  The second sweetest thing she'd tasted today next to her success.</blockquote>
