And Now Your Not So Epic Conclusion

"Here's the money back plus interest." Travania was in front of me, wearing a rather striking purple coat floor length. I guess the best illusion is hiding in plain sight.

"One second let me get your ring." I had to uninscribe the runes and open the lock, I half expected Nidget to have stolen it in the mean time, but thankfully it was still right where I left it.

"Not going to count the money?"

"Should I? No the answer is no, you either paid the full amount or I'll find out later and kill you simple as that." I make this threat all the time, never had to carry it out, yet, never say never folks!

"I hear you've been asking about me, could have just asked me." I was moving the money into my safe when I turned back to Travania and smiled.

"That's the easy way, thats not my way."

"So I've heard." Which implied he checked up on me without asking me about it. I swears its what people do in this world.  Most arguments could be fixed if two people just talked to each other, but who wants to do that!

"Tell Mr. Pavarossi I said hello."

"I won't do that, guy's a time waster, he'll be lucky if I don't find him and murder him later."

"So you'll pass my message along then?" I hate when people imply that despite what I say I'll end up doing what they want.  Because its true and thats obnoxious.

"Is there anything else you want in the mean time? I have some lovely necklaces that I can assure you were crafted and not stolen."

"Tempting but some other time the money to pay you back was about all I had."

"I hope you didn't steal it."

"Would it matter if I did?"

"Not in the slightest." I'd like to say he smiled but all I could see was his eyes, so I'll think he implied he smiled.  I still didn't know exactly what he was other than scary strong and somehow magical, but that was enough for me (I put him in the category of avoid unless not possible, a list that includes EVERYONE!) Thankfully for me Travania is a man of mysterious means and so he came and went as he pleased, and how he pleased was not near me at all.

Unfortunately one of my other avoid at all costs (no not Nidget) showed up in his place, because thats how this stuff always tends to go.
