[A HISTORIC TRUCE BETWEEN HUSBAND, WIFE, AND LOWLY PIRATE]

[brazeofglory]

[BENEATH A WHITE FLAG, there or may not be three people standing over a table with a VERY LONG scroll of paper. THEY APPEAR TO BE HAMMERING OUT A CEASE-FIRE]

-- No, no, Kongming, be certain to include that you will not be locking your wife in any cages as part of the terms. It's bad enough that I am not allowed to immediately draw my weapon

Well, it's certainly a unique way to express yourself.

But if he would leave such things in front of my tent, I would expect him to clean up after himself.

[brazeofglory]

Fine.

This is the most ridiculous cease-fire ever conceived.

Any further terms for me?

[shupdawoop]

Well...

[brazeofglory]

....Keep them reasonable, Kongming.

[shupdawoop]

I would not object to having tea with you of a morning...

[brazeofglory]

...........................................

A sacrifice I'm willing to make for the sake of peace.

[shupdawoop]

And I've certainly missed your breakfasts...

[brazeofglory]

Let's not get greedy, dear. Remember, you are at a disadvantage.

[shupdawoop]

Am I?

[brazeofglory]

However, for the sake of proving that our side is willing to make concessions...

I accept.

[shupdawoop]

I see.

And are there any other concessions you'd like from me?

[brazeofglory]

I would appreciate any willingness to submit to observation. To ensure you are not a threat, that is.

[shupdawoop]

I see...

No, of course I would not mind.

[brazeofglory]

[shupdawoop]

*V. WELL THEN*

[brazeofglory]

Truce.
