Josh knew he hadn't been dreaming Velina was talking to a stranger because he was still standing. "Who're ye talkin' to?" He opened his eyes a bit and took a squinting peek where Velina was standing- nobody else seemed to be there. He dropped the subject entirely though not voluntarily when he noted that he could see the silhouette of Velina's lower body through her dress. He turned his gaze to the ground and tried to think about the most boring thing that he could summon to his mind, and that happened to be bar tabs. He duly noted that Greg wasn't among the bums who owed him, and tallied up in his mind how much he was owed. He moseyed back on up to dry land, tallying the total of all the tabs to be around 5 gold in total- he'd been charging 2 copper for his cheapest (but for some reason best-selling) swill. "how could I have let it get that high", he murmured under his breath. He resolved to start collecting his tabs tonight, after he'd gotten some rest. Realizing he didn't hear Velina following him, he turned and asked, "Can we get goin' or is there somethin' that still needs doin' here?"
