How does a farmer become rich suddenly? I don't think I've ever heard a story like that before. At least not without marriage. All I can think is either I have a noblewoman as a wife or I got real lucky playing slots when I left for the city. I'm not sure what's more believable.

I was also mistaken for a ferryman when I was steering a gondola the other day while wearing a different mask. It's kind of nice, so I think I'll keep at it for an hour or two a night. I thought it might be helpful if two people from opposite sides need to meet in person for a little while.

What purpose would you want them to serve?

[downswing]

Bide your time to flee.

[bearshermark]

I can swim.

[Just. You know, in case that's a concern]

[downswing]

It does not wound pride to accept alternative.

[bearshermark]

No. I'm trying to think of what scenarios you're imagining. Are you worried I'll cause a scene? But I also know from experience that fleeing makes you look suspicious.

[downswing]

I envision drunkards. Assailants. Thieves. Capture.

[Okay, now his pride is prickling a bit, but he'll give him the benefit of the doubt]

You're saying my blades should be a last resort.

All right, I'll speak with him when I get the chance.

( Your blades, should you know how to perform with them — )


Gratitude.
