[QUOTE="Eluvan, post: 1898469, member: 24812"] The Vrock next to Davian seems on the verge of exploding into violence, but keeps itself just barely in check and seems somewhat relieved when Davian does not wait for an answer to his question but instead turns to his other neighbour. The halfling looks up and grins at Davian at the question he is asked, and for a fleeting instant Davian fancies he sees... something... behind the halfling's gleaming eyes. It seems almost as if for one brief moment a perfect curtain of illusion was drawn aside and the bleak horrors laying behind it were revealed. The impresison is gone ina ninstant, though, and Davian is left wondering if he imagined it. The halfling's smile seems perhaps a little wider, as he speaks but again Davian cannot be sure of anything. "Aye, ye pegged me right cutter. Dice and pleasant company. Well said!" The halfling looks past davian and meets the Vrock's eyes, and something seems to pass between them though Davian cannot make out what it might have been. *** Dante's companion chuckles. "Well, never let it be said that I turned down an offer like that. If I recall rightly, there's a particularly good year of Arborean wine in the cellar here. I'll take a glass, and recommend one to you as well. My name is Elisden," holding out one hand for Dante to shake. *** Sniffily ignoring Vestra's first remark, though he is obviously satisfyingly riled by it, the shopkeeper floats quickly down form his perch and begins zipping around through the air peering into various piles of merchandise. Finally he exclaims "Aha! I knew they were somewhere around here!" He pushes hard against a stack of wands, straining in an amusing fashiona dn sending them all tumbling to the floor and revealing a small wooden box filled with hourglasses. "Hourglasses here.
