[ as a friend, huh? that's sweet. that's what a majority of roland's cr would say about him too, but in all honesty he doesn't think too hard on it. they're Connections, if asked.

he considers don's query, keeping his gaze on the toastings. he's skilled, of course -- more skilled than don can ever know, but looking at how she puts vergilius and gebura on such an astronomically high pedestal, he wants no part of all of that. it ain't like the title has been officially given to him, anyway. ]

I mean, even if I were the most talented guy in the City, it never hurts to add more to your repertoire. Especially when you mentioned those guys being from another City, with their own traditions? Surely they got more interesting stories to tell.

Not me, though. I'm all washed-up. Once you heard stories from one Fixer, you've heard them all. Gebura would say the same thing, I bet.
