“She got your eye? Really?”
“No, I was just wondering─”
“Look, Sinna, just… Don’t be hasty, okay? Give this kind of thing some time. You’ll see, you might meet a nice girl that you really like just in the next town.”
“Yes, but, do you think you can help me buy her back for three silvers? I only got twenty three bronze left but you’re paying me when we get back and─”
“Sinna, Sinna, my boy, listen to me.” He threw his arm over Sinna’s shoulders. “I know how you feel. Women have their ways to make a man’s head spin. Believe me, we’ve all been there. But you’re still young and, well, how do I say this? There are ways to get yourself a good woman. Buying a slave girl is almost never one of them, it’s nothing but expenses, and you are too far at the beginning of your career to waste your money on that. Besides, what did you even see in her? Trust me, once we get to the next town I’ll introduce you to this Celtic girl who can get you drunk without drinking, and she won’t charge you more than eight bronze, alright?”
