Vinny couldn't help but snicker as the group outside seemed to drag off the annoyance. It seemed a little odd that a miner type was in the higher-class area. For a moment, he wondered if the man was part tinker as well. He dropped the follow-up thought before really getting to it. He didn't need to align himself with a tinker that did nothing but cause fights. Instead, Vinny figured that it'd be a better idea to get a drink. "Hey, barkeep. Got any good whiskeys about? I'd like a glass, if it's not too much trouble. And a name, so I don't have to refer to a gentleman as 'barkeep'." For a moment, he thought he might start sweating. He'd been trying to keep up with his late boss's advice to be as articulate--another big word, blast that man--as possible.
Those blasted books...then again, he would love to get his hands on a copy of the book his boss had. Blast that fire as well. Vinny sighed as he thought about the book. Even a copy wouldn't really replace it. He'd need that one. The notes inside gave an insight he hadn't dreamed of in a book. So many ideas sprouted from one or two sentences. He loved seeing the train of thought that the Tinker had. His favorite was a pellet gun that shot bee-stingers. The idea sounded ridiculous, but the man had made a working prototype, only to discover that the bee stingers weren't the cause of the infections he wanted, but that it was the venom in the bee's rear. He scrapped the idea, but kept the pistol. Not that it would function anymore...
