Part 431: Nowi B

Nowi, you have time, yes? We can speak?

What's up, Gregs?

Gregor's name is Gregor! ...But at least you are not calling him gramps.

Alll right, so? What is it?

You remember sweater you give to Gregor? Is very fine sweater. Best ever! Is helping to deflect dangerous blows in last battle. Gives Gregor peace of mind.

Oh, goody! I'm glad you like it.

Gregor is... not exactly say he is liking it.

No? I kind of think you were.

When Nowi makes sweater, how many scales is she using?

Oh, I don't know. A few?

Gregor not knowing this "few." Meaning is more than two, yes?

Um, yeah. Definitely more than two.

Now Gregor knows where you get scales. They come from Nowi's own body. But this must be hurting terribly, yes? And missing scales means no armor for you. Gregor grateful you make sacrifice for him, but is very foolhardy!

But I just wanted to-

Since you lose armor, we make new rule: you stay close to Gregor in battles.

I think I can handle that!
