And you, sir. What is your wish? Your heart's desire? You want to be strong? You look strong already, sir, if you don't mind me saying.

What is your name? Mandrax? Ah from the western provinces, no doubt.

Great strength is a very desirable thing for a man, but some people find it harder to achieve than others. When we are born, we have our lot - our gifts, if you will. We have a degree of intelligence, a degree of beauty and so on. It varies from one to another, and we do not always have what we desire.

Please, accept this coin as a gift from me. You will soon feel much more powerful. If you agree that it is as I say, then bring me a gift in return. It doesn't have to be expensive. In fact, it can be something quite ordinary. The important thing is that you should give it to me freely.

Of course, if it is not as I say, then do not give me a gift.

This costs you nothing, sir. You have all to gain, and nothing to lose.

Thank you, sir. It is good to do business with you.

I am hearing some curious things about you, sir. These objects you sell, do they bear some charm or spell?

Not at all. They are quite ordinary, as you may discern. You are one of the King's followers, are you not? One of the brothers? Perhaps your gifts can confirm that what I say is true.

It is true, I can detect no magic in these items.

Chara tells me you are a Pretender, or you serve him. Is this true?

I can change my form, but that is the nature of my kind, as much as it is the mermaid's nature to live underwater. You don't bear any prejudice, do you?

I suppose you could call me a pretender in that way, I can only take the form of someone I have seen, so I am forced to "pretend" to be someone else. As I said, it is my nature.

As for my wares, I have proven that I am a man of my word. All my customers have found that they receive all that I promise them. There is no wrong there, is there?

You hide your purpose behind your words. Perhaps Glosnik will be able to determine your true nature and plans.

Glosnik would merely tell you that I speak the truth. Come, Wayland. Look at these - are they not fine? You have determined that they are not magical, so what would be the harm in accepting one as a gift from me. On one condition. Tell me your deepest desire.

You have nothing I want, and my desires are not for you to know.

Glosnik has learned that truth is like a sword, it defends and it wounds depending on how it is wielded. You use truth like a scalpel in the hands of a surgeon.

Beware. If you prove a danger to the inhabitants of Grimney, there are those who would make it their duty to remove you. And some take more pleasure from their duty than is warranted.

For a man of peace, you seem to be rather confrontational. Surely, you do not judge me without cause?

As far as your comment about me using truth like a scalpel, I don't know if that is a complement or an insult.

If you have any specific accusation to make, then make it, by all means. Otherwise, I would be obliged if you would go on your way and leave me to my business. As you can see, there are a great many people who are interested in what I can supply. Come again if you are prepared to do business, otherwise it will be me making the accusations.

I think Wayland's warning is kindly meant. There are others that will be judge, jury and executioner without hesitation. You are different and you have power, many in Grimney do not like that. If your intentions are good and you need a friend, I am always at the tavern but if you try to harm those I care about you will see I am not always a creature of peace like Wayland.
