Jeoffrey: They’re encrusted with real gems, you know?
Lucretia: They must have cost a fortune, Mister Dost
Jeoffrey: Please, please, Mister Dost was my father, call me Jeoffrey
Jeoffrey: And they did cost a pretty penny indeed, but the cobbler owed me a favour after I reminded him of his anniversary, so I got them at a discount
Lucretia: Wow
Nysia, like me has no social skills so she kinda just stands there awkwardly
Jeoffrey notices Nysia
Jeoffrey: Oh, hello there
“Oh, hello! I’m sssorry for sstanding and sstaring, I just noticed how fancy you look”
Jeoffrey: That’s usually what people notice about me
Jeoffrey: I’m Jeoffrey, Jeoffrey Dost, and this woman here is my friend, Lucretia
Lucretia’s face lights up at the word “friend”
“Nice to get acquainted with you two, I’m Nysia” she smiles a bit
Jeoffrey offers a handshake, first taking off his glove as a sign of respect
Takes that handshake “Ssso why are you two here?”
(you’re in Frohem)
(Oh wait shit HAHA, I mean why are they there? I lost the plot a bit)
Jeoffrey: I’m going to meet with my father to discuss the family business
Lucretia: I-i’m going to seek my fortune, miss
“How interessting, I do apologize however for barging in on possssible persssonal businesss that wasss quite rude of me”
Jeoffrey: Think nothing of it, we’re going to be here together for the next couple of days, so getting to know each other seems like a good way to pass the time
Jeoffrey: My father always says that you should make as many friends as you can, although he may mean it moreso for business than for being a gentleman
“Friendsss are helpful, in many waysss.”
“You sseem like a gentlemen Jeoffrey.”
Jeoffrey: Why thank you, I do my best
Turns her attention to Lucretia
“Seek your fortune in what way, miss?”
Lucretia: Well, miss, my grandpa always used to say that the streets of Nesseltein are paved with gold
Lucretia: I know that’s n-not true, because it would get all dirty, but papa always said it was a meta-thingy
Jeoffrey: A metaphor?
Lucretia: That’s it, thanks Mister Jeoffrey
Lucretia: Anyway, papa said that the gold thing was a metaphor, and that grandpa meant that anyone could get a fortune their if they tried hard enough
Lucretia: And I wanna do that, I wanna make a fortune and use it to buy mama and papa a big big house with lots of servants and food, and everything will be great!
“I wisssh you luck then Lucretia, I hope you manage to achieve your goalssss”
Lucretia: Thanks very much, miss
“I ssshould probably take my leave now, I need ssome resst, after all, I ssshall talk with you both later”
