Beorthric made his exit, at last Bertram could breathe with relief. Damn him! As if there was no other blatant example of a 'black sheep' that stood against the Great Reformation, so Bertram thought. He could not deny the Archaics were useful, no, crucial to preservation of the mortal realms. Their reputation precedes them, many a monster horde was crushed under their heels, many an uppity tyrant rendered broken and quivering under their wrath. A neccessary hammer. If only they weren't run by such a madman. What Bertram could do if he could forge honest good people with their attributes. He thinks to their powerful characters, fueled and unleashing their innate potential with the Ordenstaat stones.

Bertram absently mindedly goes to pick up the chest of gold once again, his mind quickly breaking train of thought as he is reminded by the significant weight straining his back.

"Idiot. Give it to me before you injure yourself." Chen motions again toward the chest, her powerful strength assisting Bertram's silly adherence to lifting the heavy chest. Despite this, Bertram twists away from her grasp, giving a smug nose high smirk. Chen sighs, "You are a child, you know that?"

"I like to call it 'youthful', onto the bar I need to drink something before more of my allies show up." Bertram replies. The two move to the bar counter, shortly after letting the chest down with a 'thud'. Bertram speaks to the bartender, "Get the Brandy. And a Small Beer for her."

"I'm not drinking alchohol." Chen coldly reasserts.

"No your not, we need to fix that." Bertram moves a beer stein set on the counter before the Jinko, "This is 'Small Beer', its damn near close to water, you'll be fine." Bertram immediately began taking a swig of his own stein, pursing his lips. "And its clear too! The Covenant seems to be operating under the Reinheitsgebot!"

Chen stares at the stein for a good long couple of moments, before slowly, cautiously, bringing it to her own mouth.
