Rylock watched with a tilt to his head as Shansee cleared the plates. The proprietress seemed to be the only help there. It came as somewhat of a surprise to Rylock. He had thought that there would be more than one taking care of the restaurant. It must be quite the bit of work to be the sole caretaker of the place.

Reaching into his pack, he picked out a talonful of coppers. To his surprise though, an extra item had come along with the coin. A simple iron earring that glinted with a dull glow. A failed project that he had meant to be melted down to be reused. There was not much value to it. The original engraved design had become warped and it was overly heavy due to his using the wrong mixture of metals. Thanks to that though, it was stronger than his usual pieces. It was unlikely to break easily.

Rylock studied the earring, pushing it to the side as he counted the coppers, making sure to have the right amount. Seeing it reminded him of the earrings Riune had worn. Perhaps she would like this, Rylock thought wonderingly. Ah, but she would likely refuse them. Looking up from his counting, his gaze came to rest on Shansee, an idea forming. Mixing the ring in with the coppers, he shifted it to the top of the pile, his talons closed over the pile. I feel it will be best for me to leave before she gets a chance to return it, Rylock thought somewhat absentmindedly. Though he was not one for such an action, it seemed the only way to have Riune accept the gift. "Here you are, Miss, forty coppers," Rylock spoke kindly. Lowering his voice, Rylock spoke again so that Riune would not hear, "Please give the earring to Riune once I have left." Turning to Riune, he gestured towards the ext. "I suppose we should be leaving now."

Rylock nodded in thanks to Shansee. Whether Riune decided to melt down the ring, keep it, sell it, or return it mattered not to Rylock. He hoped it would help her in some way. Though it was a failed project, it still held his brand and so would sell for a good sum despite not being sold by him specifically.

Following Riune outside, Rylock looked back one last time at Shansee. Giving her another nod in thanks, he proceeded to meet up with Riune. Perhaps he would come back to this restaurant one day. Next time he was in town perhaps, well maybe not so soon, but later on he would come back for another meal. "Indeed I did and thank you for your help," looking around Rylock noted his location in relation to the places he needed to go. He had spent more time in town than he had originally planned to. It was best he get going now so that he might return to his forge not too late in the day. "Unfortunately, I must be going now. If you care to visit me someday, my smithy is out in Khariva Plains. Do send word if your coming though. It's somewhat of a rough travel and it is a bit hidden so its best if you let me know." With a slight bow to Riune, Rylock opened his wings and pushed off the ground. Gathering some altitude, he circles above Riune before leaving.
