Oh, quite lovely so! Why else would one well rounded $race come to see the great Bidils the Quickhand other than to hear of this rogue's great adventures!");

Indeed, quite lovely so.");

It was larger than my face, and sparkled more than the most pure of Jumjum catching the rays of Karana's blessed skies! Indeed, it was a divine treasure to behold. . . but little then did I know that such a treasure truly belonged to the King of Thieves. . . and merchants himself!
