The Biblioplex wasn't as impressive as they made it sound. What a disappointment.

Anyway. Which of you are capable? I need assistance looking into [...] something.

I can pay you, I suppose. But only after a successful venture.

Goats need not apply.

I adore this confidence.

[quickwitted]

Five gold pieces and I'll help you out. Ten and I won't ask questions or complain. Fifteen and I bring my sister with me.

[helmineblackwater]

Splendid. Ten it is! Unless your sister comes along to dazzle me and change my mind.

[quickwitted]

I'll bring her but I can't promise she won't complain or ask questions.

[helmineblackwater]

Well. Is she as extremely capable as you?

Be objective!

[quickwitted]

If you'd asked me a week ago I would have said we're exactly as capable as one another. But I've recently decided that I'm older than she is, which makes me more capable and her more fun.

[pepromancy]

Oh dear. Do you very deeply resent me for my free spirit and carefree nature?

[quickwitted]

If I ever do I'll just skip my next birthday and be younger again.

[pepromancy]

I would accept the burden of the elder gladly. But you can't skip next week's, I have a present already.

[helmineblackwater]

You two are adorable. I didn't expect that!

[pepromancy]

What did you expect?

[helmineblackwater]

Hm. That's difficult to put into words.

[pepromancy]

I am here to dazzle you.

[helmineblackwater]

Perfect. Dazzle away!

[pepromancy]

I just did three backflips.
Now I’m doing jazz hands to really punch in how good I am at (?) investigation

[helmineblackwater]

Well. With three whole backflips and your sister's evaluation, I'm at least moderately dazzled.

Please come along.

[pepromancy]

By the time I'm done, you'll be dazzled into giving us ten each.
Thank you.

[helmineblackwater]

I would love to be so thoroughly dazzled.

Thank you.
