Part of me is worried that the old merchant was a red herring and that it's actually the two girls who are up to something...
I want to be wrong, but my gut is giving me weird mixed signals.
@CastelBeki I've written it off as either being a matter of translation, like calling them people but the translator used human, or
that it's in the world setting itself to call most humanoid races human unless otherwise being very specific?
After all, even in our world we call everyone human...
I really like, that Stella is shaping up to be an unexpected sweetheart.
Like, even as the dragon she seemed kind of lonely "they were chewy, but I didn't hate them".
God damn, how incompetent is the government in this if they hadn't already purchased the property to avoid stuff like that?
Or you know, at the very least swear in the person who owns it so they know what's going on and to not cause trouble for them?
I just love the mental image...
"You're walking down a busy street when out the corner of your eye you spot a skeletal merchant in the alleyway"
"They beckon you over before opening a trunk of goods and say " "Hey kid, wanna see some tits?"
