Pursuit of the Sun 1.2

- Yes, - Cassius agreed, supporting the Red Fire Mage. - Good armor will definitely not hurt, and these items look interesting, but they may not be useful or even be harmful...

-- It would be funny if the armor turns out to be unnecessary baggage, of course.

- I allow it, but treat her as befits.

-- My Lord! My Lord Baron Cassius intends to take me with him! I have no doubt in the wisdom of my master, but perhaps I should report that my abilities are not at all suitable for the expedition... I will only be a burden to you, my Lord. Perhaps I can be of use in some other way?... And, despite all my reverence for Your power, I, in the interests of my master, am forced to say that he is currently experiencing significant financial difficulties, which are humiliating for such a noble Knight...
Despite the obsequious tone and pleading look, the Marshal does not give in. After scratching his chin for a couple of seconds, he answers, frowning - but not at the slave, but at her master.
-- Cassius... Whether to take her or not is your decision, but I will say this - if she causes discord in the team or a drop in morale, I will throw her overboard. And I won't even compensate you. What's the problem? Debts?
