Taz is sitting at the bar in the Cavernous Seashank, drinking the house brandy. It burns as it goes down, like all good brandy should.
"You've been gone a week! Thought you'd left" It's the dwarf that often sits at the bar, and always seemed interested in Taz's business, in a friendly kind of way.
"Yep. Delivery job"
"Where to? Must have been far"
"Kundar". Taz didn't want to give that answer, but he knew of nowhere else that would take five days to get to. The dwarf's ears prick up.
"A dragonborn. Delivering to Kundar! And what, exactly, were you delivering?"
"Some wine"
"Just wine? To Kundar? You?". His expression somewhere between mock surprise, and genuine intrigue.
"Wine" Taz grunts.
The dwarf is just being friendly. But this isn't a conversation Taz wants to have. He is uncomfortable with secrets, not because he dislikes lying but because keeping them is complicated, and Taz dislikes complicated things.
"Got to go. See you around". Taz gulps the rest of his brandy down and walks off.
"Good to see you back!" says the dwarf to his back, before striking up another conversation with someone else.
