-- Whoa! -- this subdued exclamation came from Mirne, not Lex. She hadn't seen creatures like these before.
-- Commendable, -- the merchant remarked. -- Where are you headed?
Ronard tried to put on a face of stupidity and naivete:
-Whoa! Did you catch some bandits?
-- You've got your answer, now disappear, -- their leader commanded.
- I meant that we could later sit in a tavern, have a drink, and chat. New acquaintances are always a good thing, - the Menasite replied friendly. - We are here as local researchers, nothing more.
Using charm.
- How old are they and what do they look like? What are their names? And regarding the bandits - do you have any idea in which direction they might be hiding? Maybe someone from your group has ventured deeper into the forest and seen something? Are there any other settlements or places that the bandits could have looted? Are there any dangerous places with wild animals? Anything you remember will be helpful.
-- There are plenty of animals there, -- the redhead added, -- and sometimes monsters wander in.
-- And there are monsters, and bandits, and wild animals, and an outhouse in the street, what isn't here! -- The only woman present added her informative comment to the discussion. -- It's a dump! All of this is not suitable for my baby... Oh, if it weren't for this goat, I would still be living in the capital!
-- And there are no other settlements here, except for a lumberjack camp nearby.
--I understand, I understand. But it would be good to get feedback on my own works as well. Because you never know, fatigue, a brief lapse in judgment, a typo, and then people might misunderstand something, which is not good... -finding the requested book with his eyes, Achelsius carefully took it in his hands, ran his palm over the cover. --Hmm, The Reime Sisters... Can we and my assistants take a closer look at this work? I promise to return it to you in good condition within the day.
