Verdandi laughs an saysOh, Verite, you took the words right out of my mouth,Sometimes, Fate's not so mysterious though. People seem to ignore the obvious a lot of times. I shrug as I ain't really got anything to say to that.
Surprises me a little with a hug when I agree to show her round the carnival.'M already planning what to show her...
She compliments Melania and hires her as I expected. We clink our glasses together in a toast. Then drink. mmm...cider is good. I notice that as Verdandi punctuates her explanations to Melania with frequent drinks an not just sips either, she;s downing whole shots at a go. Her new employee almost matching her. Me, I stick to my cider, taking it nice n' easy. I got an okay tolerance but I know better than to try to keep up with Someone like Verdandi or Tez. Wonder if Melania can keep up; she's getting kinda flushed so maybe,maybe not.
Verdandi suddenly turns to me an asks, Do you know anyone from the carnival like that, carpenters or builders? If you do, could you send them my way?
I pretend to think for a second before smirking again, "Sorta. My older brother is head Roustie. They do lotsa construction type stuff an ain't that busy right now. I c'n ask him to come see you 'bout a job." I hope she means to pay decent for it. Could be real good for the Carnival if more people can bring money in from outside jobs. an I bet Will would do it. He likes keeping busy.
When Melania asks her question bout the crime in town I stiffen but try to hide it behind taking a long drink of cider. My eyes are stuck on Verdandi though. I wanta know what she'll say. Murder n' assault are nasty crimes an this town is lousy about solving them.
Melania is tense as well even though she smiles at us and says she likes walking at night.
