Urvi

From today, I count how many arrows this bow looses. The knot was retied three times. That part doesn't go in the report.

• PandarI saw it myself, it was four times, Charioteer.
  UrviYou count wheels, Wheelwright.
• KetanAnother man's bowstave, another man's reins. Bind a bow wrong and it weeps.
  UrviIf it weeps, I'll write down that it wept.

The tally-board showed three red notches. I counted three times before I left. Why I counted again doesn't go in the report.

• NirmalaArticle 7 requires a stated reason for entry after dark.
  UrviReason: verifying the count.
  NirmalaThe record also shows you left twice that night.
• SambaYou stood outside that door forever that night, I saw you!
  UrviNo more dates for you.

Today's count is four. This isn't a smile. It's just me trying not to be wrong.

• ViratCharioteer. In my experience, whoever counts most exactly is usually the one who can least afford a miscount.
  UrviI don't set the price.
  ViratI set the price. That's why I asked.
• PandarMake that face at a horse trying to drink and it won't drink, I tell you.
