"Pictos? I'm not familiar." He looks over at Verso, visibly interested. For a couple of odd-looking drifters, these two have already proven themselves enjoyable company. "I'd be very interested, indeed. Mm--are you new to town? If you need a place to stay, I can recommend a better boarding-house than the inns in the Lower City. You'll want a place with larger rooms, I imagine."

He nods in agreement with Esquie's assessment about the Underdark, then pauses slightly at a diamond, which is a subtle compliment, but one that feels very deliberate. He gives a sheepish smile and a shrug. "Pressure makes us more ourselves, perhaps."

"That's funny. I have a friend or two I met on the road, as well, only none of them stayed once the adventure ended." This is said completely without bitterness. He never expected Tav to stay, let alone any of the others. Besides, he has work to do. Still, it could have been nice to have such a strong connection to someone.
