The moment he walked in, Colin spotted Kase and Orelia sitting in a corner of the tavern.
Just as Colin was walking over to them, Old Black Heart, who was standing behind the counter, called out, "Colin, we got some lobster from the docks today. Want some?"
"Hey! Old Black Heart, didn't you say you were sold out? You old bastard," a patron at a nearby table cursed.
Old Black Heart retorted without missing a beat, "Can your treatment even compare to the man who took down a dragon?"
"Alright, I'll have one. And Old Black Heart, stop going on about that," Colin said, waving to the tavern owner. He then turned to the patron with a smile and said, "Sorry about that, pal."
The man muttered something under his breath before lowering his head and starting to gnaw on his roasted pork knuckle.
Colin sat down next to Kase and the others. "Well, we have to escort Albert to his territory tomorrow. You guys really showed up at the last minute."
