You really think humiliation is a good idea?

[sir_percy_b]

Sink me, miss, don't get the wrong idea, but compared to killing a gentleman, humiliation is preferable. Of course, I'd prefer to avoid either.

[carri3_whit3]

Would you now.

What could a 'gentleman' do t'make you feel like humiliatin' him was the proper course, 'zackly?

[sir_percy_b]

Killing or imprisoning the innocent. I wouldn't humiliate anyone for anything less severe, miss.

[carri3_whit3]

*frowns* That somethin' that comes up a lot where you're from?

[sir_percy_b]

Over in France, yes. Demmed unfortunate mess they've got there.

[carri3_whit3]

Wouldn't know, I'm 'fraid. I'm from Maine, m'self.

D'j'ya say you know how t'knit? Would you teach me, for a bribe?

[sir_percy_b]

If you wish. I'm afraid I only know garter stitch, and a clumsy one at that, but I should be delighted to teach you.

[carri3_whit3]

Okay. Would you say you're always lookin' t'learn new skills t'put t'use in your missions?

[sir_percy_b]

You have the truth of the matter, miss.
