>"Sorry, kid. The cat gave you to me. And I am not about to give up my reward after all the shit that I went through to get that satori back!"
> "But I already live here!"
> The veiled girl and manly cloud have joined the onlookers now, too.
> Narrow eyes at Nazrin. "What, don't you remember? Rin gave you to me after I did her a favor, and now I'm honor bound to keep you. Don't go spitting on our ancient traditions like that!"
> When Nazrin starts to protest, explain to her, in a tone like a teacehr lecturing a child. "Rin saved you when you were stranded down there, remember? After that, you had an obligation to serve her as she protected you and fed you. Now, since Rin gave you to me, I have the obligation to protect and care for you, now, but now you're trying to weasel your way out of the debt! Do you mean to tell me that you were just taking advantage of poor Rin and Satori, eating their food with no respect to our lowly culture?"
> We are, by the way, lying through our teeth. We also have no intention of keeping Nazrin, anyways.
> "No! I don't care!"
> You try guilt-tripping Nazrin into staying with you when you're really lying through your teeth, but she doesn't take it too well.
> "I said I don't care! Let me go! This temple is way,
way better than that horrible cave!" You have a feeling that if she was not clinging onto the other woman, she would be using her arms to attack you right now.
> "Let's not get worked up, please," the woman says. "I'm sure we can...work something...out..." Nazrin must have a strong grip.
> On the other side of the room, you hear a door opening. Then you hear a soothing voice.
> "It's quite noisy in here. Is something wrong?"
> The veiled girl lets out a small gasp.
> _
