Part 166: Sully C

Mm-MMM! Now that smells like a slice of heaven. Whatcha eatin' there?

Bogsberry and cabbage pie, the best cream of treacle in all of Ylisse.

A shiny copper coin says it was baked them lady friends that were followin' ya!

Keep your coin. They gave it to me before we left to keep me warm on the journey.

Gremlin's tail! The Vaike's never had a gaggle of maidens bake HIM a pie! How'd ya do it?! What's your secret?!...Er, not that I'm jealous or nothin'.

I suppose I'm just charming like that. Why, you need advice?

Har har! Ol' Teach don't need advice on that score! I mean, sure no one's ever bothered to bake me a tasty pie... But I knew a milkmaid once who gave me an apple-and it only had one worm in it!

Well, good for you.

'Sides, I'm more of a man's man, ya know? And men don't usually go for pie bakin'. I'd rather eat a donkey's hindquarters than a pie baked by one'a my mates! Har har!

Still, I'd give anything to have lasses offering me their pies all the time. ...Maybe it's the horse? Ladies do love the horses...

An idiot on a horse is still an idiot.

What's that supposed to mean? Hey, wait a sec, Sully. You're a woman. ...Er, right? Got some tips for the Vaike? What do YOU admire in a man?

He has to be better than me. Someone I can respect.

Better? ...You mean better looking?

I mean better at important things! Smarter, stronger, faster with a blade and lance...

Well, maybe you should take me on. I'm pretty tough ya know.

If you think fighting me will attract women, you're an even bigger fool than I though...

...Eh, but why not? It's been days since I've dished out a good thrashing, heh heh.
