"Oh," Erin remarked, genuinely surprised at the thought.  "I hadn't actually even thought about it maybe being sacrificing virginity.  I thought he meant life, which is why I thought his looking for someone was so funny.  Well, okay, part of why I thought it was funny."<br/><br/>She paused and chuckled, shaking her head a bit.  "Either way, I don't think I'm getting involved, especially not if his treasure is here in town.  Maybe if it'd take a few weeks to get there, and it'd give me a job along the way.  But here in town?  I mean, what would be the point?"<br/><br/>By now, she'd eaten enough to push aside the hunger and that left a bit more room for even funnier philosophy, and she raised her voice enough that the map-man could hear and answer if he wanted.  "Wonder how he'd even know if a girl was a virgin.  I don't know many girls who are real friendly about having it proved, least not without some payment up front.  And the type who take payment up front probably aren't the ones you're looking for."
