( Days later, after arriving at Tehr'adun, merchant city of the endless deserts. )

I too may earn coin.

A gentleman offers three sheep and a vase for you in matrimony.

[weifinder]

Do they have eyes? Taste?

[downswing]

Perhaps theirs run to emaciation.

Four goats, one watch dog.

[weifinder]

I already have you.

[downswing]

Did not think I disgusted Wei Ying so.

[weifinder]

I'm too emaciated to read that, please say it louder

[downswing]

I am not a dog to you.

[weifinder]

Of course not!

More like the goat.

[downswing]

You like the goat?

[weifinder]

The last one I knew was straightforward and had a great appetite for nice clothes, so yes, I like the goat!

[downswing]

...you may keep one in Cloud Recesses.

Only the one.

[weifinder]

Yes, yes, he's already there! Well, when he's there.

[downswing]

A goat, Wei Ying.

[weifinder]

Have I got yours?

[downswing]

Piss off.

( But, in testament to growth, carrying on: ) Thought only to endear Cloud Recesses to you.

[weifinder]

Constraints aren't really endearing to me. People, however, are.

There's you, there's our son, there's all his generation, there's your uncle relaxing in his greater age.

Open gates endear most.

[downswing]

I did not think indulgences restrained. Gifts.

[weifinder]

I don't know that I really understand how to expect gifts without costs. I'm learning better.

[downswing]

Even now?

[weifinder]

I've just gotten used to being married!

[downswing]

...the novelty yet to wear off?

[weifinder]

Does it ever?! I can't see it would!

[downswing]

I hear some tire and grow worn. Become accustomed. Take for granted.

[weifinder]

Very human, but not a universal truth, ah?

Have you?

[downswing]

After decades wedded alone?

A novelty, to share the experience.

[weifinder]

Hah! Let's hope we're better communicators these days, ah?
