Ment
Auto-translated
- I know Metarme... Well, sort of, - Beata said nervously. - About a month ago, during our first Carnelian mission, something funny happened, and I ended up in jail. That's where we met. She was in for killing her ex and his new girlfriend. She seemed sweet and quiet, but as soon as I mentioned I had a boyfriend... - she nods at Giyon - she went wild. I was afraid she'd rip my throat out right there. The other cellmates barely managed to calm her down. I'll tell you more about what happened later, but I don't really want to go back to those days, - she grimaced, and added to herself that this was partly because of Zorica. Oh, Zorica...
- And Calcite is south of here, - Giyon added. - A wild place, sand, slave traders, giant scorpions, and all the other delights of the desert. No wonder Sisandra came here looking for a better life.
-- And Calcite doesn't sound much better than the places I've been lately.
"It would be interesting to test my skills against a scorpion."
-- So, all the more reason to be wary of this... Well, she has an interesting name, but I'm used to it. Let's summon her and take a closer look. Let her come tomorrow. Raphael, - she pushed the letters towards the secretary. - Can you handle that? And we'll go shopping with you (Beata, Giyon, and anyone else who wants to join), you can show me the city, and I can help you avoid any awkward situations if needed.
"In the context of Calcite, I hope it won't look like I decided to walk around the city in rags with my slaves."
-- Here, by the way, - she pulls out some spare clothes from her travel bag. - This might be useful, but I don't have any shoes.
