[audentis]

Hey! Don't call me "sloppy," that's very rude.

[fortunaiuvat]

I'm just telling it like I hear it, milord.

[ He's so pleased. ]

[audentis]

The Huntsman was just jealous because I kept evading him.

[fortunaiuvat]

Do you reckon? Suppose they couldn't be too sloppy if the butcher in Troskowitz kept buying from you.

[audentis]

Did he tell you? He was supposed to keep it a secret!

[fortunaiuvat]

He didn't say a word. You just did, though.

[ Can you hear his laughter in your head, Hans? ]

He got real cagey when I asked about you, I figured it out after the fact.

[audentis]

[ He can indeed hear the laughter this is unfair he's so annoyed. ]

Regular bailiff now, are you? Going around solving crimes?

[ Little does he know... ]

[fortunaiuvat]

You'd be surprised, sir. I helped Katherine with some girls that went missing in Kuttenberg. And that was after I helped solve a land dispute between the farmers in Zhelejov and Troskowitz.

[ Henry, our hero Henry! He's a fellow who helps his fellow man! ]

[audentis]

Where the fuck do you find the time?

[fortunaiuvat]

A job is a job. Whether it's carrying sacks or solving murders. People need help, so I help them.

[ You can practically hear him shrug. ]

And it helps me get the groschen I need to come save you. Or buy clothes for the wedding. Or help bribe the Devil's Pack into coming back.

[audentis]

[ Hans's mood sours at the idea that Henry has needed--repeatedly--to get groschen to save him. He knows it's true, but the reminder is sobering. ]

Right, of course.

[fortunaiuvat]

[ Henry can hear how quickly Hans' mood tanked, just judging by his response. ]

There's no need to sound so dour about it, my lord. I wasn't trying to put you down. It's just that I'll do just about anything to help people in need or earn a bit of coin.

[audentis]

I'm sure you'll find a few grannies to run errands for here.

[ see it's not that bad! He can still tease him.

But -- ]

In fact, run along and do that. I'm trying to get this deer and you're distracting me.

[fortunaiuvat]

Aye, I'm sure that's true.

[ Henry chuckles. ]

I'll leave you be, then. Best of luck with the perfectly legal hunting, Sir Hans.

[audentis]

The things I have to put up with! You're lucky I'm such an accommodating lord.

[ insolent little asshole bringing up his previously perfectly legal activities too. It's not his fault no one thought he was a noble!!

But he is indeed hanging up now so he can finish the job he's doing. Amazing he's actually focused on doing it! ]
