Oh? Unfortunate, I have to go get cleaned up before I get in the kitchen to fix myself lunch, don't I? And what would Scanlan think of me not only missing limbs but appearing in clean clothes as well? I think that'd be worth at least ten gold, don't you?
And heading up to his own room to get cleaned up. He'll come downstairs a bit later with his hair washed and everything! So thorough for Vex to get her money.]
[Meanwhile Vex has occupied herself with bantering with a horny gnome. As soon as Percy appears, looking much better, she holds out her hand to collect her reward before Scanlan makes a strategic exit.]
You're looking lovely, dear. Presentable and sophisticated.
[MMMM He's considering something stupid but usually his stupidity is best when it only affects him and not someone he cares about. No, he'll hold onto it. For now. Instead smiling at her before he goes about making himself a sandwich.]
Don't suppose you've come across new ribbons for Trinket, have you?

Oh good. I would have hated to have gone through the trouble for him to weasel out of it.

So, what was it that's kept you so occupied? You've been quite intent on whatever it is.

Yes, so you'll have to be patient.
