Kyle approached an older man with luxurious clothing. "Mission done," he said.
The man smiled brightly. "It's even bigger than I thought!" he shouted in elation.

"You have to hand that to the Guild later," Kyle said.
"I will hand the reward to the Guild," the man said with a smile, "but I will hand THIS… to you."
Kyle looked at the Ether Stones.
20 Ether Stones.
That was quite a tip.
"Well, don't mind if I do, then," Kyle said with a smile of his own. "Thank you for your generosity."
"No worries," the merchant said. "I almost feel bad for giving you such a small tip. You don't know how much money I made today."
