Gotham City visit, day 2.
It's morning. Actually to clarify things, it's morning in Gotham City, set in the apartment of Dinahs Lance, Snr. and Jnr. There might be birds outside, or that low soft whistling might be the house guest, having found some eggs to fry up for breakfast, while the morning wake-up aroma of fresh coffee spreads through the apartment.
Despite the very late and unsociable hours of conciousness last night, their house guest found himself rising with the dawn as per certain habits. Namely those of 'getting people fed' and not becoming the recipient of the ice-water wake up call.

"Well," he says, "I've never seen coins like this before. If you want to find their historic value, you'll need to see an antique dealer. I can pay you for the value of the metal."

If the pawnbroker had asked, he'd have found out how much a nerd Beauford is. One long babbling spree of the history of the Florida Coastline and the Changing Course of Mighty rivers.

"I'll have to check, but I figure these silvers will be worth about two twenty five, two thirty. Seven fifty for the gold. How many are you looking to seel?"

And even with underselling he's getting cash right now.

"Have a nice day."

The money gets pocketed securely enough into one other pocket in the jacket before he jogs ober to Dinah Snr. "Find anything interesting?"
no subject
no subject
"Didn't sell everything, by the way."

The journey to the grocery is as short as she said, and Dinah hands him a couple of the bags when she dismounts.
"Get everything you need. I need to run to the post office."
