Then you shouldn't ask me about my skills. [Very obvious adjustment to the rapier at his side.]

[congratulating]

A knight?

[baroquestorm]

Not at all. You shall be allowed one more guess.

[congratulating]

I forfeit my guess for an answer, instead.

[baroquestorm]

While you were welcome to guess, I had no intention of providing an answer.

[congratulating]

Then I'll just make an assumption and assume it's correct if you're not going to answer.

[baroquestorm]

A wrong assumption is no better than a bad guess.

[congratulating]

Can't be helped if I have no answer waiting in the horizon.

[baroquestorm]

[congratulating]

If all this can't be helped, then it isn't worth being upset over.

[baroquestorm]

It isn't worth discussing to start.

[congratulating]

Who brought it up? I forgot.

[baroquestorm]
