Did you notice the Warden making threats earlier?

[deceivingly]

Didn't know she was a Warden.

[positioning]

We might hide the knives in someone else's room. Be rid of them and the Warden for the time being.

[deceivingly]

We might have less fun if we do,

Anyway I gave her one back.

[muckspout]

Doki, remember the food I gave you for Satinalia? It was on a platter. Do you still have it?

[deceivingly]

I ate it.

[muckspout]

You ate the platter?

[deceivingly]

Yes.

[deceivingly]

Really, New Edgard, you think very little of me. I am not stupid. I ate the food. The platter, I sold. I will not give you any of the coin that it fetched.

[muckspout]

Not at all, Doki, you dazzle me. I do not want any coin, but do you remember who you sold it to?

[deceivingly]

[Compliments, very nice, but more important--]

Why?

[muckspout]

I really need to get it back.

[ in the midst of this ]

An elf is offering me a free dinner. And good wine.

[deceivingly]

[eyegleam]

That is very charitable. Who are you, when you go to get this free dinner?

[positioning]

I am myself, if I were a shy artist who came down from the mountains in search of a patron for my art. It is hard to lie about a name when so many already know it.

[ sucks to stay in one place, rly. ]

We will go tonight. Free dinner and wine and we will make good conversation with this elf. Do you know anyone who draws?

[deceivingly]

I can find someone who draws. Tell me what they should be drawing, and then do not worry about this. You must work on acting shy. It does not come naturally to you.

Who am I? Myself, the sister of a shy artist. Will I be anything more?

[positioning]

You will be yourself, my trusted sister and confidante. When we talk to him about his walls, you will have to help me convince him that mountains would be best. Then we find an artist to paint the mountains, and take a little bit of the money. Obviously the dinner is for us only.

[deceivingly]

That will be easy. Mountains will be best. Who does not like to look at mountains? They are breath-taking and they are dangerous and they are beautiful. And I am sure you-- [or, someone] --will paint them very well.

I am looking forward to the dinner. I am already hungry.

[positioning]

We should try not to take his silverware, even if it would fetch a good price. He said he would pay a great sum of money for the painting, so it is best we don't give him any reason to be suspicious.

[nonvenomous]

I don't suppose you know where I might acquire an Avvar goat on short notice.

[deceivingly]

[All confidence:]

Yes.

[nonvenomous]

[ Then it's all sorted, surely. ]

Where shall we go?

[deceivingly]

She is living at a farm, this goat. It is, hm. One day's ride. What is she for?

[nonvenomous]

A gift for Satinalia.

[deceivingly]

You celebrate this?
