>Adler: Take Estvan's advice and pook in front of her.
>Rowan: You're so upset, you are completely unfazed. Start yelling at Adler.
>Adler: By Fuma, she's even more beautiful when she's angry! Wait-No! Focus. Just keep thinking about shadow puppets, she can't have power over you if you just think about that. Hopefully.
>Rowan: What was Adler thinking!? That gold he gave you turned into twigs and leaves. It was supposed to turn into COOKIES AND BISCUITS!!!
>Adler: "I-You-Uh... What?"
>Rowan: The gold elves give to lowfolk is supposed to turn into cookies and biscuits! Like in all the old stories! Farmer catches elf, demands gold, gets gold, gold turns into cookies. That's how it's supposed to work. You went all the way into a tavern and told people you were working for an elf and passed the elf gold around to prove it. You told them, "This here is genuine elf gold, and if you wait long enough it'll turn into delicious biscuits and cookies just like in all the stories." Well guess what, it didn't turn into biscuits and cookies, it turned into twigs and leaves. They laughed you out of the tavern. You were laughed out of town. You have never been so humiliated in your entire life!! How does he expect to convince people to work for a magical elf if he doesn't play the part properly?! White hot tears of humiliation and rage stream down your face.
>Adler: ... You really have no idea how to respond to this.
>Estvan: Cookies and biscuits? Where are the lowfolk getting their folklore from? It's like they just stand in circles and make things up.
