I'm getting dressed.  Please give me a moment!"He looks back at you with terror-filled eyes, then glances downward at his pack.  In a whisper, he addresses you."I have little of value, sir.  If you've been sent by Vaclav to collect on my debt, I assure you that I will have the money within a tenday.  In my bag - the ledgers - I have it all written down, and I've been keeping up on logging the penalties.  It's all there.  I just need a few days.  Tymora's not been smiling on me lately, and I've had a rough streak at the tables, y'know?  The town'll be filled with all manner of marks tomorrow.  As few days with the cards, and I'll have all the money I owe your master.  I swear!"</blockquote>
