"You won't be here in a week?" Helge asked, brow furrowed.
"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." -Karis Nemik
“I mean… yeah, probably will be,” Jerica said. Not that she knew why. “But oh well for tomorrow.”

"Ah." He nodded. "Right, then. You should come by next week. She's got good game most days."

(That was so awks omg I just got to my hotel and the lady said there’s no reservation for me which is a lie cause it was made almost a month ago so I had her look up the reservation number and they got my last name wrong but it rhymes so clearly me and she’s like I’ve got the name under ‘Joe’ who is my boss so I said yep and she’s like okay so you and he are in the same room— like no ma’am I think the fuck not)
“Will do.” Jerica nodded. “I’m sure I’ll be wandering around most days anyhow. I’m not very good at sitting still.”

"Have you tried hunting?" Helge asked. "All you need is a permit; I'm sure the reeve could draw one up for you."

(Yeah thankfully she was just stupid lol he made the reservation for me before my first day but made us separate rooms obviously so it’s fine. It was just hella awkward)
“Mm…” Jerica hesitated. Wait, did normal people need permits? It’d never occurred to her that people might not be allowed to go hunting whenever they want to go hunting. How odd. “I’ll think about that, thanks.” Probably wouldn’t, though. Unless she got desperately bored.

He dipped his head. "So what sorts of things do you trade usually?" Viol asked, sipping her beer.

(Yii ^^ unrelated but I’ve yeeted my characters into the Discord. I’m pretty wiped out tonight so I don’t have the bandwidth to jump on there now but thought I’d let you know they’re there for whenever you wanna take a peek ^^ I think we are pretty close to being able to start soon ish if we wanna)
“Um… a little bit of everything, really,” Jerica said, taking a moment to sip her beer but really giving her time to think. The lie was starting to get too involved. “Jack of all trades, master of none sort of deal. I’m not sure. I’m more on the theft prevention side of things than actual ware curation.”

(Awesome! I'm about to settle into bed since I have an early class tomorrow but I'll check it out in the afternoon! I agree; I think we can start soon.)
"Mm." She eyed her. "You're buying up here, right? But you've brought wares as well?"

(Sounds good! My boss is claiming tomorrow will be “an early day” and then clarified by which he meant “closer to 8 than the 11 we worked today” lol and if we only work 8 then I’ll be off around 2 pm cst so I will prolly be around in the afternoon but cannot make promises it all depends on almighty field work lol)
“Um, sort of. We’ve been on the road for kind of a long time so our wares are a little thin at the moment. But yeah.” Shit. This was going badly. She needed to find a way to soothe suspicions. “What sort of stuff do you hunt up here? And who is this Reeve I need to talk to did you say?”

"The Reeve's the fellow in charge of the town. Lives in the big hall about a mile from the village limits." She raised an arm to display her sleeve, which was made of white fur. "Lots of hare up here. Wolverine, too--but they're feisty. Hard to catch. Pine marten, fox, squirrel, fisher cats."

Jerica nodded. “Can I get them all with a bow from horseback?”

"Should be able to, but snares are easier. You'd want a bow for the big game."

“It’s not hunting if you use a snare,” Jerica scoffed.
