You're late, and your breath stinks of wine.
-
I may have stopped by the tavern for one small glass
-
to fortify myself against the night air.
-
How goes things here? Is all well?
-
No. All is NOT well. I nearly died of boredom - twice.
-
Finding boredom in one's work is to be relished.
-
It means you are being paid for doing nothing.
-
What could be better?
-
I didn't come to Atlantis to be an errand boy for rich merchants.
-
Tomorrow, the frankincense will be shipped to Helios
-
and our work guarding it will be done.

You won't be so sour-faced when you have gold in your purse,
