[QUOTE="Festy_Dog, post: 2401784, member: 2561"] Without having to use words it would seem that the child was pointing something out to Ba'aktar. There was something very wrong about a coin which could apparently be from the future, but that was that, time travel just wasn't possible and he doubted it ever would be. On that note, one does not hear massed footsteps in the street and immediately assume it to be a parade of cross-dressed archmagi. More likely it would be an angry mob, and an angry mob of cross-dressed archmagi were probably far more likely in these parts than a parade of them anyway, as slim as the odds were. Thusly, Ba'aktar's current impression was that the coins were counterfeit, though where someone would find the inspiration to make coins apparently minted three centuries in the future was anyone's guess. He decided in light of the boy's offerings it was useless trying to be intimidating anymore, the job was just turning out far too weird. "You bunch are a quiet lot aren't yas?" he asked, and looked at the coins again. Truly there was a mystery behind them, but the others would find the mystery irrelevent as long as it was real gold they were made from. The question now was, did Ba'aktar care about the story behind the coins? It would certainly be interesting to use his share of the gold to find out more about its origins. He pockets the coin from 1945, just in case a colleague comes downstairs, and keeps the old coin, ready to bounce it off one of them if anyone had any experience with appraising things. [/QUOTE]
