@paeng_noseok The Demon Lord the Worm Picked Up

Steward of the Cheongun Sword Sect. The real power moving the yard's labor and supplies, and a shameless old hand who will hand over anything once a price is set.

I hold the storehouse keys and the roster together. Keep the numbers straight and we'll all get along fine.

Well CourtyardThe Demon Lord the Worm Picked Up

The line paused once while I was handing out wages. A number being called during the payout is nothing unusual, but everyone went quiet today.

Sagong WolThe air in that yard turned over, just for a moment. I was outside the wall and I still felt it.
Du ChilThat's not a place to call a name.
Paeng NoseokIs that why it went quiet. All I need is for the numbers to add up, and today they didn't.

The Demon Lord the Worm Picked Up

I carved new wooden tally tags this month. Just swap the number and hang it back up, nothing's more convenient than that.

Mo YeonjiCouldn't you carve names instead? There's room for it.
Paeng NoseokCarve a name, and you have to throw the tag away every time someone leaves.
Du ChilWorn is better.
Paeng NoseokWhen it wears out, the rule is to replace it. You lot just keep forgetting that.

Don't worry, little one. Spilled water doesn't come out of your pay.

If the Chief Disciple starts counting even the courtyard's presences, it puts the steward's job to shame.

What the youngest memorizes is names, and what I count is meal costs. The courtyard needs both to keep turning.

If the hand's changed, the work's changed. Either they're carrying more buckets, or fewer.

Does water fill itself at dawn now. If it's a good thing, share some with me too.
