"Toilday works. Do I give you everything now?"

"Donation now, diamonds then, unless you'd rather we take them now for safekeeping."

"Do you have insurance in a form that covers them in the event they're lost after I hand them over?"

"We don't do insurance exactly but we're legally responsible for them once you hand them over, and have to provide others if we manage to misplace these."

She hands over the diamonds.

"Thank you for coming to us," he says, a bit by rote. "We'll expect you Toilday."

"See you then."

And that is all the business she has here. "It'll be so weird to see them again," she remarks to Hagan.

"I can imagine! Are they going to be - uh, when you get people back from Hell they're in a right state -"

"That's why I want them spaced. Calm her down for a few hours, then get her husband and she can help him. He'll be worse off, I assume, she's only been dead a little while."

He nods. Reaches out to squeeze her hand again, then remembers himself, pulls it back. 

"Ah, I see, if you squeeze my hand in downtown Sothis you will surely be recognized and the ninjas who have given up on getting the location of their gold out of you will soon pick up the trail once again."

"Worse, they'll suspect I care for you, and go after you in order to get to me."

"You don't think I can handle the ninjas?"

"Well, I don't know, but it seems kind of rude to drag you into all my ninja-related troubles even if you can stop all the ninjas without breaking a sweat. - I guess if you can do it at all you can do it without breaking a sweat. Casters."

"I dunno, Fireball'll warm up a place pretty good."

"You can't Fireball a ninja! It's the lightning reflexes, they just walk away the slightest bit singed."

"Well, I wasn't expecting ninjas when I prepped spells this morning! Though I wasn't expecting to need Fireball, either, so I don't have it."

"Then I had better not attract any doom down upon us."

"See that you don't. Especially if you're going to let people think that you like me or something."

"Oh, I cannot like people. My heart was turned to stone by a mad gnome in Varisia two years ago, and since then all I can feel is distant admiration, and some itching."

"Oh no that sounds so uncomfortable," she giggles. "Maybe I will pick up a Stone to Flesh scroll. You can try liking people and see how you, uh, like it."

"I don't know, that's a lot of money. Is liking people really worth it?"

"Maybe we can explain your story to the scroll shop proprietor and see if they have a satisfaction or your money back guarantee for an additional fifteen percent up front."

Whatever his worries they make it back to the inn without further incident.

"Are you even staying here? You're doing a terrible job of not making people think you like me."
