"Right you are sir, but surely you wouldn't deny a young mage his right to find his place, would you?" Riley simply smiles at the man, and extends his soft hand to him.
Shrugging his broad shoulders at the young mage's words, Sven's hand swallowed the other hand when he shook it and Albion heard the faint sound of knuckles popping from the shake.
"If you think you have spells that can..."
Sven's words died upon his lips as another figure approached them on horseback. The figure's hood was drawn up tightly around its face and across the horn of the saddle a bundle of rolled furs could be seen.
Sven released the mage's hand and made a quick gesture of warding that both men had seen from others in their travels.
"I think I should get back to putting the word out like Constable Ghini told me to do. If you think you both can help, be here tomorrow morning."
[sblock=Albion Sense Motive]You don't know what it is that upset the larger man, but the appearance of the stranger has definately put him in on edge.[/sblock]
[sblock=Riley Sense Motive]The man seems anxious to get back to work, but he seems distracted over something also, you are just not quite sure what.[/sblock]

A mage, eh? Albion thought of the young man next to him with a touch of sarcasm.
"Yes, of course," Albion replied to Sven, getting the answer he wanted from the big man, and considering the hooded figure an advantage to his cause. "Tomorrow."
He watched Sven walk away and eyed the hooded figure for any signs of a threat when he was gone.
A trapper come in for some trade... He shook his head and turned to the "mage" next to him.
"We seem to share a common interest," he said, offering a hand. "Daryc Himdahl. I'm a furniture merchant out of Luskan; trying to establish trade in these parts..."
Albion wanted to make sure the so called wizard wasn't after him. He seemed innocent enough, but so does an iron golem right before you trigger the ward.

I'm not sure how you want to work Albion lying to the others :\ [/sblock]

Riley extends his hand to to the merchant, oblivious to his lies. "Riley VonLarich," he says. "Graduate of the University of Silverymoon. It is good to meet you, Daryc. Care for a drink? Seems there is some time that needs killing before the wolves." Riley grins naively at the man and nods back to the inn.

"Great!" Riley exclaims. "We were just going in for shot of ale. I must say, I don't believe I've ever had the occasion of sharing a drinking table with a dwarf, but oh, the stories I've heard! Please, won't you join us?"
Riley truly is like a kid in a candy store. He is in open-mouthed awe at his first prospect of adventure.

Albion hesitated before accepting the young wizard's invitation to a drink; when the dwarf was included in, Albion's doubt subsided.
"Of course!" Albion said, including the dwarf in his approving stare.
Maybe some of his innocence will rub off on me... he thought, waiting to follow the others back into the inn. He gave the hooded figure on horseback one last look because he seemed to want to say something.
"That fellow has the look of a trapper about him. Maybe he would be interested in Aulbesmil's plight...?" Albion asked the others. The wizard was probably more inclined to make such a suggestion openly to the stranger. One of those happy-go-lucky types.

Riley looks the odd fellow up and down and smiles. "Let's see," he says to Albion as he begins to walk over to him.
"I say," he says with a wide smile. "Might you be in need of adventure? You look of the trapping sort, and it seems there is some hunting to be done, if you're interested. We were just going to have a drink over the situation. Care to join?"
Riley cocks his head to try and get a better look at the man under the cloak, but even if he does see him, he apparently doesn't quite notice his condition as of yet.
ooc: But I'm sure he'll have something interesting to say when he does. He's talking so much, he's starting to even annoy me! How sad is that?

Ablion cringed when Riley began walking over to the stranger.
Not what I had in mind, kid, Albion thought. He looked between the dwarf (exit: stage right) and Riley as if trying to come to a decision. The muscle went inside the bar to enjoy a drink. The novice went to invite a possible threat to dinner.
"I'll see you inside then, Riley?" Albion called after the young wizard. Albion shook his head and went inside to join the dwarf at his table and share a drink.
"Daryc Himdahl," Albion offered a hand, "furniture merchant out of Luskan." He was almost beginning to believe it himself.
