Our canteens are this small?!
Rita
Looks like enough to me.
Judith
Yeah, we should be able to get

of cacti growing in the desert.

Rita
Right, if we use them to fill up our canteens
whenever we need more water, we should
be fine. You sure know a lot.

It's the least I could do. I'm giving

By the way, what was with

He was guarding me all night.
I was so nervous!

One lie after another...
...That was a supervisor. The knights are

Estelle
Why would they do something like that?
I don't understand the reasons, but it's on the
magistrate's orders. People other than merchants
