Klava nods, as he tosses a couple coins on the table from the bag in front of Wiz, their golden allure is striking and a bit more than what they came in with.

"The reward for your efforts, rest up kid."

Klava says to the tired Yordle.

The creature once again seems to struggle with the question. There is an easy answer to this one, but there is more to it than that. A sense of need without understanding of what this need is for. Still, this Hive feels, for some reason, closer to fulfillment of that need than anything previously experienced. As for how to communicate that, however, it has no idea. Thus, it eventually goes with the easy answer.

"Food?"

A silence goes over the entire room, sort of awkward but nevertheless only the burning embers of the flame were heard. Then, Klava laughs! The response was almost innocent coming from this creature, yet in a way, who doesn't come into an inn for food or drinks or rest? In a way, Klava almost forgot this fundamental fact so he laughed heartily.

"Ah, well, of course we have food here. Although...."

Klava stroked his chin, he doesn't see anything resembling coins on this insect, but he could make a pass...maybe, it depends.

"So, Number 14. What do you eat?"

Klava reaches under the counter and pulls out a small bag of apples, plenty of these will come from the farms thanks to the young yordle's help.

"Do you eat these? Or something else?"

The response comes almost immediately, and with an oddity in the buzzing quality of its voice as if it is trying, and failing, to imitate a different voice. A human one.

"Specimen number 14 is a carnivore, but capable of sustaining itself on plants for a limited period. It is not to be fed fresh meat."

It then proceeded it its 'normal' tone.

"I do not understand the last part. Fresh meat is best."

Klava thought for a moment...and smiled, an idea came to him.

"Right, I see. Alright Number 14, as the Hive Master here, I can get you food. But what do you offer in return? I have meat and plants, which I imagine could hold you for a day or so but these things aren't free. Do you have anything to give?"

A moment passes, the it responds
"I give favor?"

Klava nods-

"Aye, you got to help me on a hunt tomorrow if you want to eat now. If we are successful, you can get fresh meat from the hunt! Does that sound fair?"

The creature makes a movement of the head vaguely reminiscent of nodding.

"Yes. Number 14 is good hunter."

Klava smiles broadly, he would appreciate help to get that matter taken care of, so the assistance of anything would help.

"Alright then!"

Klava pours the couple apples onto the table in front of Number 14, then goes over to a shelf and opens it, a cool air comes out with chilled meats of various types. All of them are not the freshest but he nevertheless takes one of the larger cuts. It isn't unlikely for people to come in at this hour and eat so Klava has a grill near the fireplace just for the occasion-

"Your appetizer will be those apples, but the main course..."

Klava says as he plops the large slab of meat onto the grill, the sizzling was a terrific sound to any hungry patrons-

"Will be this nice slab of meat, though I don't know if you like them hot or cold though..."
