Chapter 150: Pie Is Better When Shared
“Hey, kid,” said Balthazar, approaching the little girl he had met earlier in the guild house.
Suze looked up from her sitting spot on the edge of the dock. She was busy counting the handful of coins in her palm, and cocked an eyebrow at the crab.
“Oh, it’s you again, Mr. Lobster,” said the street urchin. “I don’t have your calipers anymore, if that’s what you came looking for.”
“I told you already, I’m a crab, not a lobster!” the annoyed crustacean told her.
“Tomato, crabo, same thing,” Suze said with a nonchalant shrug.
“And no, I didn’t come looking for the calipers,” said Balthazar. “I actually came to seek your services again.”
The girl pocketed her money and looked at the crab with both eyebrows now raised.
“Really? That never happened before. Usually after my tour there’s some yelling and throwing of things while people chase me down the street, but no one ever asks for a second one.”
She stood up from the floor and patted the dust off her legs.
