1 <4657C489> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Ha ha! Beautifully done,
if I do say so myself.
2 <B466C034> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Durable, and easy to refine...
I made the right call picking that
stone for an accessory.
3 <38B331F0> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Mio? I'd like to impart this ring to you.
4 <FC3AA9A2> 2 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Huh...? Are you sure?
5 <5D437886> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Never more. Take it and keep it.
To commemorate our meeting.
6 <0A3AD957> 6 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 ...Wait. Didn't you go searching for that
stone because *you* wanted the ring?
7 <836A069C> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 They do say that curiosity and danger
are two trunks of the same tree.
8 <45721477> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 What you ought to know about me is that
I live as I please. That's really all there is to it.
9 <2708DFCE> 4 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I'm surprised. That's not the kind of
mentality I'd have expected from one
of the City folk.
10 <945C41AD> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Yes, you'd think that, wouldn't you?
11 <1330A304> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 But having different thoughts and beliefs...
That's what makes us human.
12 <99839020> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Just as the people of House Vandham march
on Moebius, waving the banner of war...
13 <C4760C70> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 So do you have House Doyle who stay back,
putting the City's preservation above all else.
14 <278649BC> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 But that's not to say everyone who chooses
pacifism thinks the way a Doyle might.
15 <47267362> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 ...Myself, for instance.
16 <A0404A08> 6 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 But aren't we supposed to all be working
together to defeat Moebius...?
17 <8F1ED279> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Yes, I acknowledge that truth as well.
It's a thorny question, to be sure.
18 <8DF908B7> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 But be that as it may, I simply cannot
in good conscience abandon my principles.
19 <2BF6900B> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Even straying from the soldier's path, how
could I deride anyone who seeks meaning in
life? Who strives for an enlightened future...?
20 <F77B67FA> 2 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 ...
21 <76B648AF> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 The City today is a melting pot. One
great, messy confluence of thoughts.
22 <6E977D34> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 But I'm of the belief that one day, they
will all meld together to create sweet,
perfect harmony.
23 <B268A849> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 ...Much like the stone that we discovered.
24 <D701E134> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Incidentally - and I'm sorry
to change the subject...
25 <F6DBE780> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I think I've taken quite a liking to you all.
26 <DE5C4B9C> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 And on that note, I have a suggestion.
What would you say to entering into an
exclusive contract with moi?
27 <6AC17EA2> 2 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Huh...? Contract for what?
28 <5FEF9C77> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 It would grant you the right to receive
my premium services as a Lapidarist
Extraordinaire, expressly and expeditiously...
29 <D433B2B2> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Clearer now?
30 <43D4BF84> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 And that applies to you, especially.
31 <1531DE6E> 2 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 M-me?
32 <C67E4C2D> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 You have the makings of a model, Mio.
Such qualities are rare to come by.
33 <B5C5A0A3> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 You are a diamond in the rough,
my dear. Ha ha, I can see it now.
You'll be a future trendsetter...
34 <56B315D5> 2 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 T-thanks...I guess?
35 <C7CDB894> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Oh, but I wouldn't dream of forcing you.
That would go against my principles.
36 <48F52A0D> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 All right, my dears.
Might I have an answer?
37 <13E41B55> 2 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 ...Yeah, OK. I wouldn't mind that.
38 <9A661316> 2 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 What's everyone else think?
39 <52DCA6F0> 1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I don't see why not.
Sounds like a good offer to me.
40 <7D81AD2E> 5 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 You're gonna make gear for us, yeah?
Can't say no to that.
41 <9809BDC0> 3 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 No objections from me.
42 <0358DD5B> 4 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Nor me. And you evidently know
how to handle yourself.
43 <D88E79EF> 6 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Yeah! I want a ring just like Mimi's!
44 <16615E70> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Splendid! Then it's a done deal.
45 <4FE3D3CF> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 ...Oh, one more thing. I'll have to
ask you to procure the necessary
materials for my work.
46 <E2C5B929> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 And of course, I'll have to ask you to
reimburse me for the labor as well.
47 <2DD84A9B> 6 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 What?! Aw, come on!
48 <2654DC99> 5 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 You're gonna charge us?!
Some generosity that is...
49 <AE5FDE16> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Ha ha! On the contrary, I'd be more wary of
anyone who offers their services for free.
50 <2CE6813F> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 And besides...I pride myself on my
skills as a Lapidarist Extraordinaire.
51 <1C183DA0> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Rest assured that any articles you request
