[QUOTE="ajanders, post: 2717841, member: 3271"] Michael shrugs, happy to be wrong, passes out the wines, perfumes, and anti-toxin, and takes everyone out for a nice dinner. Probably at the Easterling equivalent of a BYOB place since, well, they've got plenty of B's. He takes off Petra's breastplate and thanks her for the loan, then changes back into his old scale mail. Somehow it seems less impressive after the big suit of armor. He hefts his new steel shield, proudly blazoned with Sela's mark, and quietly leaves his old wood shield with Ron "for some new kid who comes along. It's got some good experience for him." Everything fits back into its accustomed place in his pack and straps up tightly. Thank-you letters get written and dispatched to little artists and big givers of shields. Tiny, Mountain, and Ron get handshakes and told "If you ever get out to Black Rock in the Great Sky country, stop in at the Grannions and tell 'em I sent you. Good food, a place to stay, and if you make fun of Grandma Lindy, you can have gladiatorial practice too." The bag of gold gets tied tightly and sits in his medical case, on his lap. Periodically Michael wonders what to do with more gold than he's ever seen in his life. After a moment he looks up across the carriage. "I'm sorry, Rose. You had a question for me?" [/QUOTE]
