She's not keen, if you can believe it. She'll do the stew and the fish especially. She's not choosy, particularly, but she knows what she likes. Anyhow, if it's nostalgia we're cooking for, I can manage that. Do enough of the favorites, we'll be bound to find the right combination.
Because I would like to do something nice for her, and because I would like to trap you in a room with me for a while and make you tell me stories. Two birds. One dinner.
[--Adding volume to Yseult's ultimatum. He's already smiling at Bastien's proposal; Yseult makes that smile worse.]
At least you're honest in your motives. I like that. I'll give you your dinner, and your stories, as a reward. Now, when I have to upend the storerooms and larder for the former, can I give them your name?
You could, but I will take care of it. When I am back from Orlais. You can tell me what we will need. I will find it all. All you have to do is show up and talk.
[ He has enough self control that he could choose not to laugh. But he does laugh, because he's only bound to his word when money has changed hands, and sometimes not even then. ]
Very infrequently. Sailing all the way around Rivain to the Boeric is a bloody slog, and it puts you too close to Par Vollen besides. And it's hot as... whatever the opposite of a witch's tit would be. Toes?
If you need someone to do a Vint accent, I'll call Yseult back. She'll do a lesson. Unless you can do one, and you're only being modest.
I can’t. But no lesson will help me, I think. Not in the time I have. And for me it is like, ah—like when you have to memorize a list of numbers, and after a point, if you are not careful, they begin to jumble?
I have all of these Orlesian accents, and there is no room for anything else in my head.
Right, then that's my fee for the dinner. The accents with the postures and the gestures, in person. I expect that first, and then I'll organize everything. Agreed?
