This sidestory takes place three months prior to Project R and serves
as a short introduction story to the upcoming oneshot: The Rent is Due!

Dwarf:
Urgh... This city and all these people.
Makes my skin crawl.

Dragonfolk:
Aw, c'mon, lighten up! We've been on the road for weeks.
Camping's been fun and all, but I'd kill for a proper bed and a hot bath.

Dwarf:
Hmph. Can't argue with that.

Dragonfolk:
Exactly! You can finally comb all that dirt and grease out of your beard.

Dwarf:
...

Dragonfolk:
...What?

Dwarf:
Nothin'.
(smirks under his breath)

Dragonfolk:
Right... So, where'd the others wander off to?

Dwarf:
Still poking around the markets, probably.
There was this stall selling all sorts of strange potions.
One of 'em claimed it could...
(gets cut off)

Dragonfolk:
Wait, wait. There was a potion stand?
How'd I miss that?

Dwarf:
Ain't my fault.
Maybe if you hadn't been busy flirtin' with those...
(gets cut off)

Dragonfolk:
Can you blame me?
It's been weeks since I've...

Dwarf:
Urf! Would you quit interruptin' me, you great lizard oaf?

Dragonfolk:
...Sorry.

Dwarf:
...
…
...Anyhow. I'm damned starving.
It's time we'd get some proper food too…

Dragonfolk:
Oh! I saw an interesting restaurant
while we were walking through the market.

Dwarf:
What was it like?

Dragonfolk:
Fancy velvet carpet out front.
Curtains hanging everywhere.
Looked real classy!

Dwarf:
…
…
...You sure that was a restaurant?

Dragonfolk:
Course I am!

Dwarf:
...

Dragonfolk:
...Why're you looking at me like that?

Dwarf:
No reason.

Dragonfolk:
Well, let's grab the others and check it out!
We got deputy gold to spend!

Dwarf:
...Oh, why in Muspell's name not?
