[ Hervey is sitting on the side of the fountain, looking mighty exhausted. His right hand is covered in what appears to be ink, but you can just make out some purple-green bruising under the black smears. The pirate's cheeks also appear to have been smudged with the ink, although those marks are a little lighter. ]

How do they keep putting up all these damn signs?!

[ Next to him is a pile of wood with words painted haphazardly onto them, but it's hard to make out what they say considering most of the wood is broken into a variety of splintery, small pieces. ]

Geez, we should've just killed them or thrown them into jail or something! Next time I see them, I'm definitely taking them in...

Stupid Jeremy, could've easily happened to him but I just had to go and be the man...

Nope. Definitely not 'dirty'!

How's it going, Erin? Heard you were in a play recently.

[innkeeper_erin]

It isn't? I thought it's related to your 'boys', so...

Oh! Yes. It went in an unexpected way but the audience like it, so I made it anyway.

[fierce_marauder]

Nope! No boys. I have no boys. No boys at all!

Who were you playing? Never knew a cute girl like you would have such actin' chops, y'know?

[innkeeper_erin]

Oh, they kept talking about Hervey. I thought it was you.

It was a knight named Marjorie. I took the job because it was the only quest I could do. Most of the time I only made up the line...

[fierce_marauder]

M-must be some other Hervey! 'cos I sure ain't dirty! Maybe.

Huh, seems like you've got a natural talent for it then, hey? Maybe this is your calling.
