"They all paid."

"And they're real mad at your friends and maybe just taking their time getting around to you. If they wanted more of it, after you all get caught's not an opportune time to pressgang you into another fact-finding mission... so maybe the info wasn't good."

"Figured they might just not know where I was. They all thought I was a man."

"Could be a good smokescreen, I don't actually know how my source knew where to find you. You want me to tell your jailors in case they can beef up security for if it gets around?"

"- they're one of the people that'd be looking."

"I think they're pretty serious about getting people into Axis and this is how they do it but if you don't want me to I won't."

"'s fucking stupid, right. As if I'd be different in Axis."

"They probably figure in a monastery you die old and apart from the lich population old people are pretty mellow and maybe it'll stick."

"Drow don't make Axis, do they?"

"I was told growing up we all go to the Abyss no matter what we do. Why?"

"I was wondering if they'd bother with the monastery treatment for you. Wondering why you'd want to live in Osirion."

"It's not like I plan to retire here."

"I guess. Did you really just swing by in case I was bored enough to tell anyone who asked where there's treasure?"

"You're acquainted with the fact that some people'll pay for information. Far as I know I wouldn't be selling it to anybody who wants worse for you than a solid stint in Saint Whoeverthefuck's, if that matters."

That gets a little bit of a smile. "Hadassah. Husband was an angry drunk and she patiently obeyed him and kept his kids out of his way until he kicked the bucket and she could take his money and get all her favorite religious books copied by captive pregnant teenagers."

"And here I was told women's monasteries were expensive because they didn't generate revenue from labor. Maybe it's very expensive to teach the pregnant teenagers to read."

"No one's tried teaching me to read. Spin cloth, yes. I have no idea if it pays my room and board."

"Sounds dull."

"'s dreadful. You could break me out."

"I'd rather Nirvana than Elysium, I'm trying to cut down on blatant acts of illegality."

"I thought it was the Abyss regardless?"

"I'm not sure they're right."

"Man, that seems even more pathetic than what the rest of us are doing. At least we're all groveling for the approval of a system that bothers to wave in our face the proof it'll work if we try."

"I mean, also nonzero of the contents of your rap sheet are actually bad."

"Guarantee you whoever you work for's just as bad."
