>>6001183>Thank Karl for the explanation. It's all been good stuff to be aware of.Karl checks his watch again and wanders off down the street he waves goodbye with his back to you.
<span class="mu-s">"No problem. Stay outta trouble."</span>
>Ask Odun what he thinks of Scadam while we polish off our order. Was he here during the bandit troubles or a recent settler?<span class="mu-i">"Hey, it's alright, ya know. Been here better part of 15 years. Good times and bad but I'm determined to stick around. Closest I came to leaving was when Anderson became mayor. Brought in a bunch of his slimy friends to take over the businesses. But got and iron clad lease on this shop, see? Owing to Brandt."</span>
Odin collects up the bowls and gazes at the sky wistfully.
<span class="mu-i">"Now there was a guy. I hope ya know, me and a lot of other older timers here are only letting you set foot here 'cause we still remember what your husband -Govian watch over him- did for us. So we're trying to overlook how outta line YOU were."</span>
Odin is very pointedly looking at Jorn, who hold eye contact and nods.
Odin shrugs and cleans some plates.
<span class="mu-i">"That and you seem to now be travelling with some good folks and trying to do better. But don't think we'll forget."</span>
Odin gestures with a set of cooking chopsticks and Jorn nods again.
There is an awkward silence for a spell.
Odin looks at Jorn again.
<span class="mu-i">"You lose weight?"</span>
<span class="mu-b">"Gained actually. It's just sitting differently. Kinda sorta turned my life around. Trying to be MLG."</span>
Odin gives her a puzzled look then gives you all an after dinner mint.
<span class="mu-i">"Just keep her on the right path you two. She got a temper."</span>
