After chatting so much, and meeting such a Dante, Mr. Durin paid for a pot of wine for the young poet, then slapped down the money, treating all the patrons present to a drink.
In the midst of their thanks, Mr. Durin bid farewell—he knew he should make a getaway now, otherwise, if Xialu learned that her master had been carousing in a bar, he couldn't bear to think how anxious the little cat girl would be.
She would definitely tell Old Yishu, and then the old man would turn into a monster that says, "I am your grandfather," and scold Mr. Durin using the most terrifying language.
She would definitely tell Anta, and then his girl would become a monster that says, "I am your ally," gazing at Mr. Durin with the saddest eyes.
To tell the truth, Mr. Durin couldn't stand to see the old man go mad, nor could he bear to see the girl cry.
