"Well, even if he is a nobody, we can't leave him here like this." Amergin cocked an eyebrow. "M'lady, you yourself said he frightened you while you were, ah, changing. His punishment should be to leave him here." Remembering a few months in the Girl Scouts (having been kicked out for uncovering the Troop Leader's vodka addiction), Sarah tied the man up. Then with little effort, she hefted him in a fireman's carry. (Again, Girl Scouts. Plus, having dated a fireman who later turned out to be a trans- sexual ex prostitute). "As you wish, m'lady." said Amergin. "But the law of the road says otherwise." "Law of the road?" Sarah asks. "Yes. Many times it's dozens, if not hundreds of miles between cities and towns and villages. What would one do if a miscreant stole your valuables and the local law enforcement was on the other side of the mountains?" "Nevertheless," Sarah declared, "I'm not leaving some idiot to be eaten by bears just because he wanted a look at my boobs." Amergin went deep red. "Oh...for ... " Sarah said. "Let me guess. It's not common for a lady to refer to her...ladiness so readily." "Exactly so." said Amergin. "One might get in worse trouble then the brigand you so easily carry." "I hate this world." said Sarah. They detour to a small mining town that hadn't been on Amergin's map. Fortunately, several passing warriors had enjoyed the bard's music before so his tale was listened to and the brigand sentenced to several weeks in jail. The two companions decided to stop for the night.
