[The text appears a bit more slowly than would be natural for such a simple question:]

Does anyone find the word "gil" familiar?

[teamwark]

...reminds me of turtles.

[mythgravenblade]

Turtles?

[On the one hand, not what he was expecting. On the other hand, Lix.]

[teamwark]

Yup. Big nasty ones.

[Really, Lix saying anything vaguely sensible is probably the last thing anyone ever expects.]

[mythgravenblade]

I see.

[pause as Paladin turns over his acquired bit of coinage and tries to figure out what to say.]

I hope we won't be seeing any of them around here.

[unevoked]

You mean gills? Like fish?

[mythgravenblade]

No, only one "L."

[unevoked]

Not really. Can't think've many words that've got 'gil' in them, either.

There any context for it?

[mythgravenblade]

Yes--it's printed on a coin. "1 gil."

[proudambassador]

Gil? As in gilded? To make golden, more valuable, hm?

[mythgravenblade]

[pentaps.]

That...actually could be related. Thank you, sir.

[proudambassador]

Yes? Good. And myself, I am Ambassador.

[mythgravenblade]

Ambassador. I am sorry, I have seen your writing before but could not place a name.

[blindedmewith]

Like fish gills?

[mythgravenblade]

No, actually--nothing to do with fish I think.

[blindedmewith]

Oh. Then I'm really not sure! It sounds interesting, though.

[mythgravenblade]

Yes, it's [paaaaause] I believe it is the name of some type of coinage.
