Neila

I carved nineteen new bone tokens today, and four of those faces will fetch a higher price next round. I don't bother memorizing the rest.

• DuralMa'am, just those four. Just half a notch.
  NeilaDural, I do memorize your name. You know what that means, don't you?
  DuralI know. I'll close the tent early tonight.
• MirhaIf any of those four with rising prices is the one I stitched twenty-two times in the side yesterday, tell me first.

I don't count the sword hilts buried in the dune. Anything I can't price doesn't exist in my ledger.

• Priest AznilNot counting something doesn't make it vanish, promoter.
  NeilaFather, shall I count them for you then? Two silver apiece.
• Old Woman TahriThat glass ring was melted and fused by fire. No human hand could make it.
  HadriOld woman. Don't tell that one at night. The kids will hear.
