Much too cheap, I'm worth at least two camels and rights to a water hole!

[downswing]

[downswing]

Boon. Less feeding to purchase.

They wish Wei Ying for a queen's company.

[weifinder]

What, for attendance, or for decoration? Sounds deadly!

[weifinder]

Do you even know how to sew?

[downswing]

You may sew when you break your chains.

[downswing]

This... intrigues you.

[weifinder]

I'm fascinated with most everything you do.

[downswing]

You intend to coax me away from sale?

[weifinder]

Will it work?

[downswing]

I await his next offer.

[weifinder]

As a note, I'm in charge of all our children's negotiations, including the rabbits.

[downswing]

I've yet to fail.

[weifinder]

It's my parental inclination, like yours towards gentle spoiling!

[downswing]

You think me incompetent.

[weifinder]

I think you kind.

Also new to financial duplicity.

[downswing]

To any duplicity.

[weifinder]

Truly?
