>“The actual reason.”May looks flustered, as if caught in her own lie. She struggles to come up with a suitable answer, before finally settling on something. “Well, I really was going to turn my life around! Maybe just…not in the way I’d originally implied I was. Hehe…he.”
>“So you were going to continue robbing people. Got it.”“B-but it wasn’t the only reason!” May says, suddenly jumping to her feet. “Honest! I only settled on Enbarr because a fortune teller told me to!”
>“A fortune teller?” You squint your eyes at her ridiculous claim. “What do you mean?”“Well, you said it yourself. I’ve got bad luck! So I thought I’d go consult a fortune teller and get their advice. She looked into her crystal ball and said, ‘Sail to the Capital, and your life will change.’ So I did! Only…I guess now that I think about it, she was vague on WHICH capital I should sail to. I guess maybe she meant Morfis?”
>“What a useless fortune. What else did she tell you?”“Don’t open the door.”
>“What door?”May shrugs.
>Useless indeed. You get up to face the girl. “While there’s clearly no helping your ‘proclivities’, you have at least proven yourself to be good at what you do. Frankly speaking, if you can keep up this level of work, STRICTLY for my benefit of course, then I’m happy to overlook all prior indecencies.”“Of course!” May stands at attention, and salutes you. “You’re the first person to take a chance on me, boss. I won’t let you down! You see something you want, just say the word and ol’ May will grab it for you! Provided it fits within my pockets of course.”
>You received a C-Support with May!“Speaking of which!” May says. “Do you still have that red gem you got from the pirate captain that attacked us?”
>“I do.” You’d kept it in your pocket this entire time, though you refrain from mentioning that May was the reason you preferred having it on your person.“Want me to find a place to sell it? If we’re going shopping tomorrow for the journey, the extra gold will come in handy!”
>“Is it really worth that much?” You ask, handing over the gem to the thief for inspection. You figured she was likely better at this than you were.“It’s not bad.” May says, accepting the jewel and eyeing it closely. “No blemishes or imperfections. Gems like these can be found all over Fodlan. I saw a few myself back in the mines. Red is one of the more common colors they’re found in, but I’d say we could at least get a decent haul for it. Maybe even more now that we’re here in Morfis. Unless you want to keep it!” She adds. “For some reason!”
