"OUCH!" Mario was heard shouting. "Damnit! Bloody hell, I've got a thorn in my hand! I've got a thorn...in my bloody hand!"

You want me to heal you?" tireace said after she pull mario from the bushes.

"No, teach me. He finished the chapters."

"No!" Mario sprung to his feet, yanking the thorn out. There wasn't even any blood. "I am fine!"

He unsheathed his silver shortsword and politely bowed. "Mario Fortunius, at your service! Moments ago, I had planned to rob you of your money and personal possessions! But that did not work! So, I am left to guess what I should do next!"

"Hm. Enthusiastic, aren't you?" Irri noted curiously.

"are you sure your fine? You seem like you got a bit of a gift from my father" tireace said smiling "and I'm glad your not robbing us as that would be a grave mistake"

"One must always be enthusiastic!" Mario said, standing up and seathing his sword. "I failed. I learned. I move on...so long as you kind folk do not slaughter me in the near future."

"One is unwise to let a thief walk, though," Siaenach said, still snickering slightly. "So you better have a darn good explanation."

"us slaughter? Noo decimate at most" tireace said with a eerily creepy smile.

"You don't know what decimate means, Tireace." Irri noted conversationally. "So, shall we kill the thief?"

"My explanation is this," Mario explained. "I watched you from the trees, I attacked you from the trees, and I failed...within the trees. So, if it is unwise to let a thief walk, perhaps you would be kind enough to let a thief run...away...you know, from here."

"Perhaps we should hang him... From the trees!" Irri laughed.

"I would not mind if you did such a thing, so long as you hang me from my ankles instead of my neck." Mario replied.

"I do know what decimate means! It means to chop or cut up to little tiny pieces" tireace said with a chopping gesture "doesnt it? Sadly mario if we let you get away you will have more crimes on your head and that will be on our souls. I support that idea irri!"

Mario sighed and shook his head. "I should have chosen another profession." he murmured. "But no matter!"

"Or perhaps a traditional Forsworn punishment? We could cut off one of his hands andmake him eat it!" Siaenach said, before making a belching sound. "Ugh. That always gave me the queasies."

"Or we could just eat him. Or force him to swear eternal loyalty. Or... Deprive him of his manhood." She shrugged nonchalantly. "Or we could let him go free."

"how is he going to eat it thought? Raw or cooked?" tireace said with a look of thought that ignited even her blind eye. "we are not letting him go free. He intented to rob us of everything so he must be punished"

"You are as pretty as a peach, yet you develop horrific ideas." Mario said to Irri. "Hmm...interesting. Well, make your descision quickly. If you do decide to 'send me to the next world', at least do so in a humorous manner. There's no use in dying in a depressing way."

"how about we boil him with oil?! Or lock him in a coffin and throw away the key!?" tireace said with her mind racking for other punishments and tortures.

"Humorous? Like shoving you down a waterfall with a rope tied to your ears? Daddy did that once..." Siaenach said. "THat was a bit messy. Oh, the nostalgia. I almost feel like finding my old warpaint."
