"I had some people wanting to engage me in some strenuous activities - mostly unhappy husbands or brothers - but I managed to avoid most. And the only one I didn't manage to avoid was taken care of by Dingo, there. He was kind enough not to kill him, too. So, one can say I met him while he was puncturing the arm of a man who was chasing me and screaming for my blood!"<br/>He sighed.<br/>"If I had a couple more incidents like this, I'd make a song out of it, and reap a great success playing it. Alas, I am still gathering suitable material for it! I have a feeling I wouldn't need to wait too long for it, though. The man seems to attract trouble the way honey attract flies."<br/>He ends his discourse with a laugh.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>She laughed with him at his description of his life.  "You know, if you were married, like a sensible man you could avoid all manner of strenuous conditions."  It sounded like something one of her cousins would say.  Then after a tick she realized she needed to clarify.  "And that was not a proposal.  Though, if you had need of a wife I suppose I could suggest a few."  She paused for a moment counting fingers.  "Most of them are fairly good wives.  They have at least one husband already so there wouldn't get lonely if you needed to go traveling again."  She grinned, knowing quite well that she knew little of how people did marriages where he was from and while his wives might not get jealous, she probably would, eventually especially if she wasn't one of them.<br/><br/>"You should think about it.  I think if you were to get married I would have to bake something."  Her cooking was a pale shadow compared with her mother's and would probably succeed only in making the guests ill for what could have been.
