"Eh. Hold on a moment." Valens waves some food over, bits of fried dough and fish, and does some mental math. "Well, at the moment I could give you two shekels her and now, and arrange for a hundred thirty more over the year.

If it weren't treated jade, this would actually be a pretty good offer for it, being paid pretty much the value of the raw jade.</div></div><br/>"And really, I don't quite know what my sworn sister was going to do with it. Hell, if I do end up owning it, I'll probably go and bribe her brother for some insight.

He seems to have traded the worked piece for several bits of dough and fish. "They came within, what, was it a hundred?" Valens nods. "A hundred men of a real war."<br/><br/>For a few moments, Valens looks up and down at Galus, as if scrutinizing him. "You know, I hadn't thought about it, but you look different, student...."<br/><br/>"It's the hair, I assure you."
