This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.

Flexing his fist Leto replies, with a slight grimace "Ah... That. It's simply a mark that reminds me that some powers give strength, and some give pain. It's no different than the tattoos some others may have."
Vox, noticing a sudden shift in mood, comments to the innkeeper, "Perhaps you should go over to that table over there with some drink and food... Maybe it'll distract your patrons from whatever is beginning to brew."
She slinks towards a table, far from the group showing signs of a mood swing but with direct access to an exit. She observes quietly as the situation unfolds.
Marzira also takes note of the strange mark on Leto's arm. It's hard not to in the aftermath of the war, and while her family had tried to stay out of it as best as they could, the effects still linger. Even if she doesn't think Leto will be any trouble himself, and of that she can't be too sure yet, the mere presence of an aberrant dragonmark could cause an uproar to the wrong people.
"If I may ask, Is it a brand or tattoo? Or something more akin to Genbo's own mark."
(Also rolling insight on Leto's explanation if I can. Which is a 15)

Feeling all this focus on the mark on his hand Leto is feeling a bit more defensive. He came down this morning to sort things out, and now he's being interrogated. Replying to Marzira, who he hasn't met, he'll say "It's something like that. ((a brand or tattoo)) Yes." Leto would probably also start to understand why they are asking ((I don't know the lore well, so don't really know anything about dragon marks...or how to talk about them ㅜㅜ But I get the feeling that this is common knowledge here...)), so will add "Not like his." pointing to Genbo
So to answer some questions that has been arising..
- The caravan carried all short of things, from food to pelts, alchemist supplies, medicinal herbs, pottery, farming tools,salt.. everything that will help a remote community like this to endure the winter, and judging by the temperature in the past few days you've arrived just in time. If the heavy grey clouds that looms in the sky drop their rain or even snow load, the caravan is going anywhere else.
- You've been paid last night, 15 GP was your last due payment. If any of you want that to be still pending just let me know and we can RP it.
- It's been a war that had just ended one year and half ago, its objective was to stop the aberrant dragonmarked and the Qu'ori invasion. Qu'ori are demonic like creatures from the dreams dimension that almost swarmed the continent, aided by the aberrant dragonmarks and their bearers. That's why some are so skepticcal with Leto's mark.
- coffee is a delicatesen brought from Xen'dric, the plant that gives the grain only grows there, despite the efforts to import it, and the "muddy pig" can't afford it, even if some would have reach this twon. Sorry! ;)
- During the journey you had to fight once against some gnolls that dared an attack against the rear of the caravan one night, but it was big enough, and with so many guards, that no bandits neither beast dared another attack. the caravan was almost 30 wagons.
- You, however, and the caravan members had been received almost as heroes by the population of Thadys, and you have felt a warm welcoming so far.
"Jobs you say? " says Borgag to Vox when she asks for jobs " I don't know.. do you want to help me with the inn? I doubt it... hehehe " he sees in the corner of his eye the others gathering and says " well.. if you'll excuse me I must attend them..." and he goes to the table.
"Good morning my dears guests. I see that some of you are already helping themselves " he says looking at the wine bottle " may I suggest you a good breakfast? It will do wonders with your mood I can assure you."
Carrick suddenly wonders what he, Marzira, and Genbo have been drinking this entire time, if this village can't afford coffee. But he will happily accept breakfast. "Sure, that sounds good. I'll have potatoes and bacon." Then he goes back to his company. "So, if my condition so far hasn't given it away, I had quite a bit to drink last night. Would you mind refreshing me as to what happened?"

One of Marzira's eyebrows raise at Carrick. "Well, it seems you took part in the celebrations, for sure. I don't recall any particular incidents. A lot of merriment and jubilation over the caravans arrival. It seems these folks have been in dire need of its supplies."
She then glances at her cup. "A pity actual coffee wasn't among them." Then to the inkeep, "I wouldn't mind some toast or a biscuit if you have it?"

She slinks towards a table, far from the group showing signs of a mood swing but with direct access to an exit. She observes quietly as the situation unfolds.
Eventually, she takes out her lute and plays a melancholic song of two people - fast friends - that were brought low by misunderstandings that eventually caused them to fall prey to cultural prejudices they had previously ignored. As she's performing her eyes seem to shimmer at times, and her complexion slightly brightens or darkens, depending on the tonal shifts of the song. Perhaps it's a trick of the candle light set about her mixing with the passing clouds muting or allowing the sun to shine through the windows.
A few beats after her song is completed she approaches the table where everyone in the tavern had gathered and says, "I do hope that whatever misgivings that were happening here have passed," she says with a bright smile. "Now, a couple of you had questions about lutes versus lyres... I think. What did you want to know?"
Leto takes a sigh of relief as the focus seems to have passed from the mark on his hand, though it may resemble a serpent, it's far from the marks that some hold. Though he holds no animosity towards proper marks or the so called 'aberrant' marks. To Leto they're all the same. He would like to inquire about joining the caravan in the future though if it plans to continue on.
Seeing Leto's guilty reaction, the gnome's jaw firms.
"What is that mark on your skin? Tell me now."

i just love music. What do you call this tune? Id like to remember it.
He claps his hands together and gives a warm genuine smile
"It has no name... Raul, is it? I improvised most of it, pulling some music from songs and stories I've heard before," replies Vox.

"Sorry for the ruse. Hot water colored and flavored to taste like coffee."
