Curious though you may be about Zoral’s sugar industry, the way Obber continues to stare at you suggests he has more important things to do. Dang!
Welp, you begin, taking your place next to Volka as she carries the unconscious TT like a takeout bag, take care, Obber! You’re gonna confirm things with Obber!
“Say hi to Obber for us~” Adds your amazonian ally with a darling smile!
Right, don’t forget to give Obber the sugar!
Obber nods. “L-leave it t-to me…”
Leaving the sugarsmith and Dock 118 with a friendly wave that he definitely didn’t see, you lead the way back along the seaside warehouses towards what you hope is Obber’s booze warehouse. The place where it all began: the Ur-Obber…
“We’re gonna have to head back to <span class="mu-b">The Far Throw Inn</span> eventually, huh?” Muses Volka, her heavy boots causing the dock below to quake in protest with each step.
If you want to get paid, yea, you reply, barely sidestepping a pack of chum-scented dockworkers, a reward out of the hand is, like, worth none in the bush…
The Skog responds with a polite nod, but the look in her big yellow eyes tells you she didn’t really get it. You’re a complex guy! It happens!
By the time you duck back into Obber’s warehouse, you find the Gnok having an animated conversation with another Gnok! You’re pretty sure he’s a Gnok at least…
Look, the eyes seem similar, okay?
“Really makes you think, right? Hey hey, there’s the Gnok of the hour!” Greeting you with a hearty laugh, the boozemaker slaps the wooden counter signaling you to approach! “You ain’t gonna believe this: there was a scheckt spill over at Obber’s today!”
“Damned near washed away half the pier!” Adds Obber’s pal!
You <span class="mu-i">WOULD</span> believe it, actually, you respond as you puff out your chest! You helped fix the problem!
“Mhm! Ant handled it like a pro!” Adds Volka, giving your head a pat with enough force to send your spine into microspasms. “And <span class="mu-i">I</span> directed foot traffic!”
She sure did, you agree in a tone overwhelming with pride!
>CONTD.
