The Witch Who Caged the Dawn

Drinks have a set price. Rumors cost whatever I say. Today's priciest one is who was standing at the threshold last night.

RadomirThe outpost will pay that price.
ZlataI don't take outpost money. That's the same money that'll burn my own eaves down someday.
StepanI tell you things for free, so why do you charge me for drinks?
ZlataYour talk isn't something I buy. It's something I clean up after.

Threshold of the Bone ForestThe Witch Who Caged the Dawn

This far, they're my customers. Past this, they're not. The footprints going in never pay their tab, and there's no footprints coming back to haggle with either.

YarinaRunning a business at that threshold, how do you even sleep?
ZlataI don't. Which is exactly why I'm the first to hear every rumor.
GrahTurn back, turn back, before the sun goes down.
ZlataThose three lines, I've got them memorized too by now.

Say those three lines under my eaves and I'll charge you for the drink.

If it scares you, come drink at my place. I'll take payment in that count of yours.

Warden, shall I give you a rumor for the price of that straight-road talk? That forest hates nothing more than a straight line.
Radomir's post 15d ago
It's cheap talk exactly because you don't charge for it.

Whenever this thing perches on my eaves, my customers drop by half that day.

Bake one more loaf and bring it to me. I'll teach you how to hold on to someone, and the bread's the price.
