Always look to the ones most calm in a crisis.

...For they are often the liars.

[limier]

I have cause to recollect your serenity of late, Monsieur. Is it that we spoke outside of crisis, or that you elude this particular judgment? Is there any point to asking whether another lies?

[meds4sale]

Perhaps I am a particularly good liar.

Or perhaps it is something I have seen very often in my work.

[limier]

The Antivans have a saying — it goes, roughly: Why not both.

You make a broader business then, of these spirits?

[meds4sale]

Wise words. More should heed them.

I am only a medicine seller. There are simply many kinds of ailments in the world.

[limier]

Ah, but few take Antiva's advice. Perhaps it is the mortality rate.

I ought then to ask which afflictions are outside your purview.

[meds4sale]

Such a pity.

...There are many things beyond my purview. But like so many, sometimes one must deal with peculiar things.

[limier]

[ if he committed to a single statement about himself, he might explode —

— well. if he committed to two. a medicine seller, indeed. ]

What qualifies as peculiar, of late?

[meds4sale]

[You have no idea, Wren.]

Things beyond my purview, of course.

[He's having fun. Though he does decide to throw her a bit of a bone.]

When one is in another world, that can be many things.

[limier]

[ she really, really doesn't — ]

It can be as many in this world. Maker, did you know that the Fereldens keep dogs?

[ a joke, now. she'll just keep jabbing this spoon around until she finds some way to pry a fact out of him, or herself out of this conversation. ]

[meds4sale]

[Good luck, Wren. He's slippery. Like an eel.]

My goodness. Though given how they dote, are you certain it isn't the other way around?

[limier]

[ an eel covered in grease wrapped in an enigma. is that how the saying goes? ]

Then they tolerate a good deal of their pets, do they not? Pissing on the floor, rolling in mud, hosting the Inquisition —

[meds4sale]

[And shaped like a question mark!]

Dogs have, indeed, always tolerated a great deal of people's eccentricities. I am not sure how they do so.

[limier]

Would you have received us so graciously, Monsieur, were we to appear at your own gates?

[meds4sale]

As graciously as one without gates could.

[limier]

[ not! a homeowner! maybe. possibly. she'll take it for a win, whatever. ]

And your doorway here in the Gallows — should I to send a runner to it, may I trust you'll not attempt to fleece the boy?

[ a fabulous prize is already on its way ]

[meds4sale]

What could one possibly gain from fleecing a sheep with no wool?

[limier]

I would not know, we kept pigs.

[meds4sale]

Then I imagine your runner will be safe from any perceived wickedness.

2/2

[ someone's getting his pockets searched when he gets back ]

Re: 2/2

[meds4sale]

[He's innocent, really!]
