Grumpy from the journey and needing some ale to calm him down, Bernard would ask the the gentlemen "To sod of", ignoring his lofty, long-winded question. Not everyone needed to know what his grand aspirations were, as he was unsure himself. The question had peaked his insecurities for the future. Tired and caring little of what the local populace would think of him, he carelessly pushed through a crowd, eager to find an alehouse. However, in the process, he accidently knocked over a pottery merchant's wares. In response, the enraged merchant ordered a guard to seize Bernard, so they could take him in to the local guardroom for property damage. Bernard had no intention of going to prison so swiftly, and quickly swiped up a piece of sharp ceramic and pointed it at the Merchant and his guards face. Bernard quickly made his face fierce and narrowed his eyebrows, transforming him into a bear-like figure, with his stocky build and dark features certainly helping his intimidation tactic. Consequently, the Merchant and his man quickly gave up the act, avoiding Bernard's eyes and appealing to the crowd once more to buy their remaining ceramics.
