Bughu finds himself inadvertently clapping after the performance, moved by the energy in the song.

The cultists and the newcomer are also clapping at the performance. They seem completely at ease with one another.

"Why thank you! I've been so bored lately. Anything interesting going on? Other than my performance, of course. Not to Harp on it, but I could use some excitement in my life! Perhaps I could lend you my ear instead of the other way around, hmm?"

Bughu mutters to Myrio, "Maybe I'll stay up tonight, just in case something happens to their wagon."

"An archer needs his wits and keen eye, you do not get those by skipping sleep. Keep a close bed to me; I will watch them and awake you if anything happens." Mryio silently replies back to Bughu "And I'll stop you there. I will wake you, I won't try to persuade them alone; I'm not a foolish man. These cultists haven't been to keen on reform and if something does happen where they need the cover of night and sleep, the are more likely to try and silence me... In that event, it will be nice to have you by my side when it inevitably happens."

"We'll treat this as a watch, then," Bughu offers by way of compromise. "We can see if Jon and Erich are willing to participate." The archer waits until there's a free moment to propose the idea to the others.

OOC:
I'm not sure if it was missed, but Xalana has made her way over and spoken to you: Post
Oct 11, 2017 4:23 pm
OOC:
Sorry! I thought it was either the table Jon and Erich were at (I may be mistaken about their positioning, too), or the cultist's table. May we retcon to have Bughu's and Myrio's discussion occur prior to Xalana's approach?
Bughu is obviously surprised at the bard's arrival, assuming that he and Myrio weren't worth a conversation from the performer. "Uh, well, we're just escorting the caravan north. Not much excitement, I suppose," he begins. After a thought, he adds, "Oh, there was a golden stag. Everyone got rather excited about that, but only my companion here got close to it."

OOC:
I was under the same impression.
Mryio tips his mug towards the performer at the mention of him and the golden stag, but otherwise remains quiet. It isn't too difficult to tell he is trying to keep his mind distracted.

OOC:
Yeah, I messed up this whole scene. Try to bear with me!
Oct 12, 2017 3:33 pm
"Excellent! Perhaps I can help you with this escort service of yours. Is it just the two of you?"
Oct 12, 2017 3:37 pm
OOC:
So, for continuity, we'll assume that Jon and Erich are at a table. Bughu and Mryio are on the patio and speaking to Xalana.
We will also have Bughu and Mryio's conversation happen BEFORE Xalana approaches.

That should get everything back in line! Sound fair?

OOC:
Xalana totally meant to talk to the table with the skinny guy and hat but no worries. We’re all confused here.
Oct 12, 2017 4:28 pm
Bughu tips his head over to where Jon and Erich are relaxing in tavern meditation. "Got those two on the team, and we're taking care of one wagon in the caravan," he explains, then adds, "I personally wouldn't mind another pair of eyes, though; a lot of things to observe."

Ulyeltin, the man who's hired you on as guards, wanders over, "Hey there, Bughu, Mryio! Who's yer little friend?" he asks with a chuckle.
Oct 13, 2017 4:02 pm
"Uh," says Bughu, realizing that he never got her name, "she was interested in a job."
Oct 14, 2017 3:34 am
Mryio finishes off his tankard and nods towards the entertainer "She can have my cut, if pay holds your tongue Ulyeltin. Be nice with another set of eyes."
Oct 15, 2017 1:24 am
"As handy as me employees are on a trip, they don't seem to be too good with people," Ulyeltin says, then turns to Xalana, "Missy, if ye play for us on the trip, I'd be happy to pay for ye to come along!"
Oct 15, 2017 1:33 am
So, Jon, what's your opinion of our escort service so far? I've not spent a lot of time in organized groups, as you may have noticed. Are things progressing as you would expect? Erich asks, sipping his drink again.
