Emotions Legend
[quote][b]Remus (Jan 11, 2005 10:49 p.m.):[/b] Contrary to the woman's words it was plainly clear that she, at least, would be a great burden if Cale accepted her offer. And why should he? What good would the gold do him? Carrying imperialist coin through the desert was madness; it was extremely heavy by volume and only made him a more attractive target to bandits, who knew that his cargo was otherwise not valuable enough by weight to be worth their trouble. And if he reached Lahkis with the gold still in his possession, its worth would be quartered, for gold was not nearly so valued by clansmen as it was by the imperialists. The only thing to do would be to spend the gold here in Guildsport on more trade goods, and that would mean more camels, more men, and another day before departure if Cale was lucky. Cale finished his packing, letting the woman wait. He went back over the straps and bags a second time, double-checking his work. Then he turned and said, in forced good humor, "Good day." He moved on to check on his men's preparations.[/quote]
