"And my expert judgment is that between us three and the Sun Summoner, we definitely have the most beautiful woman in the world."

"We'll see."

"Trust but verify?"

"That's the idea."

"Well, I think verifying whether one of us is the most beautiful woman in the world is definitely a reasonable and intelligent course of action."

"What benefits do you see us gaining thereby?"

"Well, you're founding a brothel... It'd be a good advertising line."

"Unless the Sun Summoner turns out to be the winner."

"Maybe we can recruit her, then."

"I doubt she wants to emigrate to Ketterdam."

"It's a very - okay not lovely, but it's definitely very a city."

"Full of people who want to force her into debt slavery. Or worse. She might prefer army life."

"Maybe we can get her to review us instead..."

"Maybe wait until after we meet her."

"Doesn't hurt to dream!"

"Just don't get too lost in your fantasies."

"I'll keep my head in the present."

"Good."

"There's plenty of excellent sights here, after all."

"Such as all these vast fields of wheat."

"And the other contenders for most beautiful woman in the world."

"Uh huh."

"You don't believe me?"

"Let's say... I don't think there will be much gained from arguing the point with you."

"Sure you'd lose?"
