Smiling, Tvarne replies.
"You have more than earned your breakfast good sergeant."

Tvarne has less than the normal trouble gaining the bartenders
attention, for he too was listening to Kron's tale.
"Put the sergeant's breakfast, and that which he uses to wash it down
with, on my tab, it seems I will be here for a few days waiting for a
chance at that job."

Glancing around the room,
"I have a feeling the wait shan't be boring."

<Well, it's morning, so at least one day has passed ;)>
