I really dont understand why people get so hung up on their career. So people decide to make everything in their life about that. They burn friends, family, and all the other bridges that hold them back in the most ruthless manner.
While I stare at Lucinda, I have the wisdom of a thousand books in , but I still cannot muster the words needed to make her see the sa world I can.
Im not saying that friends and families are everything. Hell, thats the sa of saying that work is everything. Its just that the worlds big enough to always find soone nicer, soone, who might give you a good job just on a hunch, who might out you in a house of a friend and feed you just because. Its rare and, above all, it might be uncomfortable. But its real.
And while I look at your disappointed expression, I do wonder why my heart still beats so fast for you, Lucinda.
It has a few interesting formulas but thats it. Basic protection enchantnts to ward off the wear, but its quite weak. Its barely worth ten golds, honestly.
The Elf [Enchanter] looks at Lucinda with a shrug.
His words are incorrect and I probably wield a world-shattering artifact that could change many lives. But that doesnt really matter to . I just want to enjoy a little slice of the world, a little slice of life. So, I shut up, not willing to invite further examination on the mighty to that is clearly trying to pass off as a cheap book.
Should I bill my services to
The Elf doesnt know my na, does he?
To the Watch, Lucinda sighs. This is Watch business.
The [Enchanter] stares at again and then nods.
Lets go, Lucinda says with a depressed attitude.
Thank you for your ti, sir. Ive got to take my lovely girlfriend back now, I tell the an [Enchanter], she clearly needs so comforting.
Lucinda slaps my shoulders while the [Enchanter] looks at her with wild eyes.
With a human? he stumbles on his own words. I an, Im sorry. Its none of my business, Officer.
You know what they say, pal, big human
Lucinda kicks my shin so hard I start jumping up and down.
Ouch! She cant wait! Oh, man! Ill bring you a cake as a thank you. Whats your favorite, buddy?
Huh, I really like vanilla, but I dont think theres a need for
Vanilla cake! Coming right up! I shout while fleeing the [Enchanter] shop.
Whatever happens in my life, Ill always buy people with cake. Its so easy that it should be a legal cri by now. Or is it an illegal cri?
Lucinda is a bit angry with and her eyes stare with so many daggers she could build the Iron Throne with them and order my beheading at her beck and call.
Why are you like this? she chews out her words.
You seed so sad that this bad boy is useless, I slap the book cover and get a little zap in return, that I just wanted to cheer you up a little.
I dont need your concern, human, she says with pure despise.
You know, I have experience with crazy won. And I dont an crazy as in oh, shes such a crazy babe. No, no, no. I have dated psych-ward material more than once. And I am surprised no woman ever stabbed , to be honest.
Now, when I hear these words from Lucinda, I compile them in my crazy-to-normal translator and they pretty much say I do like you, but I also want to see you dead.
I an, it does sound ridiculous. But see, love is about chasing and getting chased. Its a hunt. For n and won alike. Until now, I played the hunter and I pushed. But shes getting too comfortable with my pushing and she just beca an. If I keep pushing, she is going to edge out of her life. So, Ill just leave on a high note.
What I do is: smile sadly, sigh theatrically, put a hand over my eyes with the most pathos you could ever imagine.
Hugh Jackman can shine my shoes.
I just wanted to be nice, thats all, Lucinda. Im sorry if I offended you. Ill just go my way with this useless garbage here, I say with my eyes almost teary.
Now, this is the pathetic move. It works, man. It works a lot of tis.
Won are caretakers and n are garbage. Thats why it works; its in our nature.
I start walking away and I feel like she will make wait at least a few days before
Joey, she calls out.
I raise an eyebrow and smirk, but then I reset my face to sad while turning around.
Yes? I already know how this will go and I can already taste victory.
You owe the money for the [Enchanter]. Make sure to bring them to as soon as you get paid. Its five silver coins.
She spins around and goes away.
Well.
I smile to her back and shrug.
Lets give her a couple of days.
See, she wants the money back. Thats a sign she might be interested
Oh, wait! You can leave the money at the clerk counter in the Watch! she shouts at , already several feet distant.
I throw a look at her with a terrified frown and, before she turns back again, it almost seems that she smirked?
