Ah, Catherine! How could I refuse?

Nothing like a good drink! I feel better already. The grub's not bad, either.

This is the perfect way to end a long day of work.

I couldn't agree more! It feels like a weight's been lifted from my shoulders.

It's at times like this, when worldly worries fall away, that I can really live in the moment. It's intoxicating.

"Worldly worries"? "Live in the moment"? Look who's suddenly waxing poetic.

Wait, you feel intoxicated before you've had a drop of booze? Talk about a lightweight!

Ah yes, were you the fellow selling ancient coins?

Merchant

Yes, sir! Since our meeting at the antique shop yesterday, I got my hands on something new.

Merchant

For a collector such as yourself, sir, I'm happy to offer it at a discounted price. Let's see, that'll be...

Hold on! Stop trying to swindle my friend!

Catherine

You're claiming a Hero from House Charon had their Crest engraved on this coin? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

Catherine

Tell me, as a collector of antiques, are you familiar with this piece? It's a legendary sword.

Merchant

Ma'am, please, keep your nose out of my... Wh-what?! Is that Thunderbrand?!

That's not possible... It couldn't be...

Catherine

You are familiar with it, excellent! Perhaps you know how cleanly it slices through liars and cheats.

Merchant

Aaaaagh!

Argh! You're saying that whole story was a lie?
