[QUOTE="ryryguy, post: 5105696, member: 64945"] Krassus stares at Jynxx, the color visibly draining from his face. [COLOR="MediumTurquoise"]"Yes, I did hide some away,"[/COLOR] he says. [COLOR="MediumTurquoise"]"I put some aside for Chef Balsamae. I could tell, Hedra was not going to listen to reason, she was demanding all the [I]zocalti[/I]. But I thought, I thought if I could give him at least a little bit, just one bushel, I'd be keeping the door open. He'd still come to us for the next harvest, and we could get into the Imperium market..."[/COLOR] The manager gives a sudden, gasping cough. Unexpectedly, he begins to weep. His whole body shudders and he puts his hands up to hide his face. [COLOR="MediumTurquoise"]"Yes, yes, I did have some hidden away! Planhoein knew it, I don't know how he did.
