>Lucas nods. "Yes, I found her..."

Lancos listens to the tale Lucas spins. Kidnapped from the Inn? He had always
thought the place a sort of haven from harm, at least the inside of it.
Tortured, imprisoned, nearly absorbed -- it sounded like the priest had had a
possibly worse time than even he.

"I sympathize for you." Lancos says upon Lucas' completion. "And if I can help
you -- financially or however -- let me know." Turning his attention to Saph,
he continues "The offer goes to you as well.".

He paused in anticipation. It would not be "necessary" for them to accept,
though he WOULD feel better to actively help someone. Unlike in the quest --
in his mind he had nothing to do with the saving of whatever was in danger;
but for a quirk of fate, he might have even aided the destruction.

During the pause, another patron of the inn nods towards the occupants.

>"Father, . . .,  Sir Knight, . .,  Milady  - is the imp with you tonight?"

Lancos is clueless about the last part of the sentence, and decides to handle
the part he can. It has been a long while since anyone has called him "Sir",
the word comes as a minor shock from the newcomer.

"I'm no Knight." he announces, smirking at the thought that THIS group might
consider him a paladin or the like. "But you are welcome to sit and chat with
us if you like."

His offers "on the table", the warrior waits to see how they will be
responded to.
