Lyngar found himself slumped on the bar top of the Prancing Pony, his neck had sunk into his shoulders giving him an awkward outline in the fire light. His elbows were planted firmly on the the woodwork, keeping himself propped upright at such an odd angle. The barman, a local man who looked to be approaching thirty years, threw a glance over his shoulders. "What can I get you?" he asked, showing his grubby work clothes as he turned.
"I'll take a mead." Muttered Lyngar, the awkward position of his stance playing havok with his vocal chords. The Barman gave a nod, and proceeded to fill up a tankard of the golden brew. "Here, sir" He said, placing the tankard on the aged bartop without spilling a drop. "That'll be forty coppers." Lyngar gave a nod, and flashed the sharpness of his teeth in a smile. He began counting coppers out from his right hand into his left. "Lookin' for a one eyed man.." He began, his eyes set down on his coins. "Heard o' him travellin' on this way not long back. Injuries o' his.. 'em common round here?"
The barman gave a shrug. "You get alittle of everything when you come round here." Lyngar nodded, then shrugged out his shoulders to imitate a broad shouldered man. "Big lad, missin' the ear o' the right side o' his face too." He'd finished counting coppers into his hand, instead a silver piece flashed between the thumb and forefinger of his left hand. "Ring any bells?"
The local paused a moment, as though in thought. "Theres some strange folk around here, nobody comes to mind, you got a name to go with that?" Lyngar frowned lightly, and shook his head. "Only a nickname, Wight Eye. More'n likely wont o' used that on the road, mind." Lyngar felt himself frown heavier when the Barman shook his head, reaching out for the coins. "Haven't heard of them."
With a sigh, Lyngar nodded his head. "Right y'are." He placed the silver peice on top of the small pile of coppers, and passed them over to the barman. "Anything else?" asked the local. "Revenge.." thought the Hillman, "Nothin' else." Said the Hillman.
