[ He enjoys this group even though they are rough around the edges. There's a kind heart to them underneath it all. ]
And perhaps if I can find a more intoxicating herb for the hookah we could have a very good time. [ He chuckles to himself as he takes a breath of smoke. ]
Cannabis is what I usually smoke at home. I have no idea if this island has it.
[ He reaches out and gently squeezes Fjord's forearm. ]
But you don't have to risk yourself just because I enjoy getting high now and then. You should save your strength for more noble causes like components for the wizards.
That's fair. [ It sounds more generous than what he was hoping for, the trick is not looking too eager. Maybe he can try his hand at bartering ... ] Any injury to myself will up the price.
[ Aw, he's trying. That's the first step. Yes, value your labor and effort. Shaun's amused. ]
One could argue that by making the expedition you've already accepted the risk but this world's different than back home, isn't it? An injury here could result in more interesting side effects. [ He's being nice, Fjord, appreciate it. ]
Now, were you thinking upping the price of the initial expedition fee or the price of the plants?
If you can't find me, ask Molly or Aphrodite. One or the other has tabs on my whereabouts.
[ Caleb's busier with Essek now, he doesn't always get a heads up on how Fjord is spending his days. It's nice to surprise him with spell components whenever he comes back. ]
See you for dinner!
[ A clap to the arm on Shaun outside his room, and Fjord heads off (to the bar, before he finally returns) to the main house. ]

I am... very lucky to have him care for me as he does.
[ He tosses his head back and his traditional grin is back in place, confident and slightly sensual.
He takes Fjord's hand and gives a good shake. ]
I will do whatever I'm capable of to help. Whether that's fight or simply provide support, we'll see how much of my magic I gain back.

Thank you.
[ The room is a lot nicer with the window open and he almost expects to hear the sea outside, too far from the beach to do so. ]
Well, this has been nice. I haven't spent much time in this house.

[ He rolls up his sleeve to show the bandage there over his forearm. ]
I can't throw spells around anymore, but make it worth my while to get into fights with the monsters and I'll go out there for whatever you want.

I already do, something fun to make life easier here is just one more thing on the list.

[ Shaun won't be swayed on this. If Fjord's going to risk himself Shaun's going to pay him for it. ]
no subject
[ To buy Aphrodite something, gold and pretty. ]
You can pay me in those, we'll judge the price of however much I bring back, as and when. I can't make guarantees.
no subject
[ Fjord, please, that's no way to run a business. Put a value on your work. ]
Ten credits for the exploration and then three credits per plant you bring back. Does that sound fair?
[ Shaun isn't fully aware yet of how much real value credits have on this island. He's figuring it out. ]
no subject

The price of the plants and anything else, I don't want to cheat people out of their credits for no reason. I'd rather bring something back.
[ He may be too noble-hearted after all for commerce, slips of a Paladin sliding through the Warlock. ]
no subject
[ There's just so much good in Fjord. Too much for cut throat business. ]
But you'll get your credits. Don't worry. Shaun Gilmore never leaves a debt unpaid.

I'll head out again tomorrow. For now, I'll thank you for my hospitality and take my leave.
[ He gets up with his empty glass, cracking his spine in a stretch as he goes. ]
If you want to come over for dinner tonight, I'm helping Caduceus make mushroom steaks.
[ An alluring meal, he knows. ]
no subject
[ Mushroom steaks sound delicious. He sets the hookah pipe down and got to his feet with a bit more grace, clearly used to sitting on cushions. ]
It's been very pleasant chatting with you. I hope we get a chance to talk again.
