mid-forties, a little bit of a five o'clock shadow
on his chin, a small scar across the bottom of it.
He has a heavy knitted cap that’s folded back onto
the top of his shoulders and a long coat, and as
he’s standing there, he looks over at you and
watches you approach, taking the rope and tying it
around the edge.
TRAVIS: Hello there. I was hoping that perhaps I
could trouble you. We’re trying to make our way
out into the lake, some of my companions and I,
for a small day trip. We’ve never quite been out
on the lake, not this one. Is there a chance we
could trade some work on your day’s journey for
some travel?
MATT: “If you’re looking for someone to take you
around the lake, I could do that for a bit of coin, sure.”
TRAVIS: I’m sorry, we’re a bit light on coin. Is
there perhaps anything we could help you with
around here in trade?
MATT: He glances at your hands as you’re talking,
“You look like a hard-worker.”
TRAVIS: Indeed. Many years of my life.
MATT: “Where are you from?”
TRAVIS: Port Damali.
MATT: “I see you’ve been a shiphand before. I can
see the cracks in the fingers.”
TRAVIS: They never go away.
MATT: He looks at his own hand. “So you’re just
looking for a joyride?”
TRAVIS: Yes, it would help me look a bit more
impressive in the eyes of my younger comrades.
MATT: “I’ll tell you what. I’ll take you around.
You get a bottle to take more out there, we’ll
call it even.”
TRAVIS: Much obliged.
MATT: “All right.” He goes and starts getting the
boat ready to go back out on the lake.
TRAVIS: I go back. It fucking worked.
LAURA: That was pretty cool, Gramps.
TRAVIS: Thanks. We should go.
MATT: He’s getting ready. The trade was to bring a
bottle.
TRAVIS: A bottle! Right. You don’t happen to carry
any fine firewhiskey on you, do you?
SAM: Nope.
TRAVIS: If I gave you some money, could you go
pick us up a nice bottle of some stuff?
SAM: Yes.
TRAVIS: I don’t trust you. If I gave you some
money, could you–?
LAURA: Yes, you can definitely trust me.
TRAVIS: I don’t trust you either. Beau, I’m going
to give you three gold.
MARISHA: That’s too much, but do I get to keep the
change?
TRAVIS: No.
MARISHA: Damn it. I’ll be right back. I go get two
bottles.
MATT: A bottle of fine wine runs you about ten
gold pieces. A bottle of basic wine, about a gold.
This is some Two-Buck Chuck style of wine.
