The minstral, Rowan, ties the pouch of coins back onto her dress.

"More?"  she says, amazed.  "No, no, I do not ask for more!  This is
more than I dreamt of making all week."  She bows her head to him.
"Thank you."              

Noticing her own hunger, she thinks of putting some of the coin to good
use, for a meal.

Rowan, having turned briefly toward the Drow to wish him and his bird
good journey, turns her attention back to the Mage.  "Yes, I am hungry.
But you needn't purchase my meal; you have already paid me handsomely."

Serene approaches the table.  Rowan glances toward the Ogre-cook, who
has just come out of the kitchen yelling about meat.  "Do you have
anything...uncontaminated?"  she asks Serene, hesitantly.
