Galeheart grins "Naw, I know how it looked, some guy who just lost a bet coming out of the dark like that. Wouldn't have done with with some folk, but I think you is ok folk, even if you are too tall by half. So about my getting my gold back?"

Mund waits for his brother to take the baton -- he's so much better at figgurin' out stuff like this. But Alley's normal sharp mind seems to be considerably dulled by the dwarven ale, so Mund decides to handle this on his own.

"You know, I just wouldn't feel right, putting you in bad with the Missus. Let's sit down and talk about it."

Mund gets two drinks for himself and Galeheart and the three of them sit down in a corner away from prying ears. When they sit down, Mund hands him a purse containing a third of what he's won from him. "That should keep you good with the Missus for now. For the rest, I'm gonna have to ask you for some favors. Favors that I can't ask officially. For example, I've gotta get a cask or two of this dwarven ale of yours. It would be downright criminal for me to be damned forever to the pisswater they serve as ale back where I come from. Can you help me buy some under the table?"

If Galeheart is willing to facilitate shady dealings, Mund will begin asking questions about the current situation in the warrens, including the recent transfer of power.

Mund doesn't think he has ever seen somes eyes go so wide. Galeheart's mouth moves but no sound comes out. Galeheart looks so much like a fish out of water that Mund almost laughs but Allys hand on his arm restrains him.

A second later Galeheart starts laughing. It is a loud booming laugh. He points at Mund and says "You almost got me. Good thing I don't play cards. You've got the best poker face I've ever seen in a human. For a second there I thought you were serious. That's a good one." Tears are streaming down his face as his laughter fades "But seriously, I thank you for the coin but what do you want from me in return."
