195 195. Keeping the deal

Walker was about to leave when he remembered something, "Hey Laurence since nobody else is around this may be the best time to give you half of what we found from that quest." For only a moment Laurence seemed confused.

"That quest? You mean the one that makes things very risky for us because of the value?" 

"Yes THAT one. We did promise to split it half and half." Ribbolt had been told of the quotes to slay the wolves but Laurence had purposefully kept the items they found hidden so that things could remain hidden and safe longer. 

Walker pulled the overfilled backpack out of his storage and let it fall to the coffee table with a hard thwack. The orichalcum ore on the inside bounced together making Ribbolt wonder why a seemingly rock filled backpack was so important. Walker opened the top and pulled out half the ore leaving it in a pile on the table, then quickly stored the bag away again.
