"If there are any questions, make them quick."

Leonidas stroked his beard, then downed his shot of vodka and leaned forward in his chair, steepling his fingers together as the ranger spoke. He waited patiently until all three questions had been asked, then stated:
"I'll second our 'masked friend' here on the first two of those three questions, we going up-top, and what're we likely to get in recompense for our services? But I've also got a question of my own. I don't care what you do with this weapon when you have it, it's not exactly our place to ask anyway" he shot a look at the Ranger as he said this "but I think I speak, on all of our behalf, when I ask you what this thing looks like exactly? If I'm going to be busting my arse for you and your bullets, I for one want to at least know what it is I'm securing. Now I don't care what it is, or what it does, but a description would be nice. No disrespect, of course."

Leonidas chuckled in a good-natured way as he finished talking, spread his hands out in a guesture of goodwill and then one again leant back in his chair and poured himself another shot as he awaited the big-man's reply.
