Idle banter

• Fist Jimi Borleas

  So what exactly did you see?

  • Battrick Degronce

    I don't rightly know. But they was up to no good, lurching this way and that.

    • Fist Jimi Borleas

      Walking funny isn't a crime.

• Battrick Degronce

  What about the smell? It stinks something rotten.

  • Fist Jimi Borleas

    Probably just a dead cat. *Sniffs.* Maybe a few dead cats.

    • Battrick Degronce

      How's a dead cat making a stink like that?

• Battrick Degronce

  What am I s'pposed to do then? Miscreants creeping around, a stink like death itself... It ain't safe.

  • Fist Jimi Borleas

    What do you want me to do? Arrest a smell?

    • Battrick Degronce

      Some help you are. Where's the Steel Watch when you need 'em?
