Taking the Knife
|
||
|
|
||
|
The knife is very nicely made. You admire it for a small while, before
|
||
|
slipping it into the bag you carry around your shoulders.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You aren't committing a sin, or if you are it's not a great one. The
|
||
|
chanter who lives in the main city has not yet come and completed the
|
||
|
dedication. The one who's knelt before the idol and left it here has merely
|
||
|
announced an intention to give it to their god so it's still theirs, and
|
||
|
they will not miss it.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If Nagiri holds up his end of the bargain your debt shall be gone come
|
||
|
tomorrow and you can leave the land you work but do not own. You get
|
||
|
excited, but then try to calm down. It is not over yet.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You walk out into the evening crowd still in the market before the sanctum.
|
||
|
There are so many people here nobody will remember and be able to speak
|
||
|
against you.
