"Good morning," he says with a smile. "And please, call me Valmont. We're well. How's Kate?" I nod t'his welcome 'n reply "She's good, thanks. She was a bit shook up over everythin', but Excolo ain't the sort 'a town where you can stay rattled fer too long."
Honestly, I think it bothered me more. Things got better after I put my knife away in the cabinet Kate got fer me. I dunt think I'll be usin' that again, unless I've got a dire need t'hurt someone.
"I was just looking at these earrings. Wondering if they would suit Hermia." He points out a pair 'a small earrings, that flash bright in the sun. "I'm not sure that she's really celebrated Valentine's Day before, but it seems a good idea to buy my fiancee a present on this sort of occasion."
I take a look at 'em. "They ain't what I'd wear," I say, touchin' my un-pierced ears, "but I could see Hermia wearin' 'em. That sort 'a small nice kind 'a thing suits her." I doubt he needs my advice though. "My family ain't bin much fer it, livin' so far out as we do, but I know there's all sorts 'a traditions folks follow." Some from Excolo proper, but lots from away too.
