I stood with my arms crossed and heard out the whole shouting match about forgery at the scales. Any line I step in and vouch for stays under my name for good.

• Teacher IdrisStill your habit, sending an unsealed paper out to the scales. I supplied the ink, so you'll cover the cost.
  KeremA seal can be bought. A line drawn true can't. I'll pay you double for the ink next voyage, Hoca.
• Lady ZeynepAre you telling me to take a disputed chart as collateral? I'll write it in the ledger as 'caused a disturbance at the quay.'
  KeremWrite 'rumor that cost nothing' right beside it, then. Half the quay got a look at that line for free.
