"Oh, not too aweful much," Said Derin seating himself acroos form Chali. "I am looking for that brother of yours and some of the locals direted me to this establishment. Though I don't see him around anywhere."
Old Derin Bloodgaurd, always true to his name and true to his freinds, chali hadn't seen the old dwarf for ages. Ever since he and his brother had left their home in the mountians.
"I didn't know he was in the area," Chali replied, looking his good freind over. "He probably isn't, you know how he hates crowds," Derin said with a smile that illuminated his face hideing some scars and revealing others.
"So my dear Derin, how has your colony been lately? I want to know everything" Derin gave a pale shine of his eyes and said, "To tell you all you wish to know, I'd need more ale than you and I can afford, and more time than either of us have to spare my freind. But I can say we are doing quite well, your mother is in good spirits and excelent health, the price of our iron has increased 5-fold, and all is well with our side of the world."
Chali soon realized that even though the Dwarf would fein to stop his story, it would continue deep into the night and possibly into the early morning. So he resigned any thoughts of leaving for the morning.
