Ehnim

HeroTextAudio
MeWho are you?
EhnimMy name is Ehnim. I'm one of the field hands.
EhnimAnd the half-pint over there is my brother Egill.
EhnimWe've been working here on the farm for Akil for several years.
MeHow's the field work going?
EhnimDo you want to help? There's another hoe back there. Grab it and then head for the field.
EhnimYou just have to make sure the field raiders don't surprise you. They'll tear your arm right off with one bite.
MeWhy don't you do anything about the field raiders?
EhnimI've killed more of them than I can count. The only problem is, they keep coming back.
MeYour brother told me the same.
EhnimWhat? That goldbricker? He always disappears just as soon as the beasts come onto our land.
EhnimHe shouldn't be talking such nonsense.
MeYour brother thinks you're a braggart.
EhnimWhat? He's actually got the nerve to say that?
EhnimHe'd better watch out or I'll teach him a lesson.
EhnimGo and tell him that.
MeI think the two of you should just relax.
EhnimThe bastard didn't give in, am I right?
EhnimI'll tear out his guts. Tell him that.
MeWhy don't you tell him yourself?
EhnimI'll do that.
MeDo whatever you want. I'm leaving.
EhnimYeah, just slink off quietly.
EhnimDo you want to cause even more trouble? I think it would be better if you left now.
EhnimYou're STILL here.
MeObviously. Still miffed?
EhnimNever mind, forget about it. Say, have you been to Lobart's farm lately?
MeMaybe. Why?
EhnimOh, nothing important. I just wanted to talk to Vino again about his still.
MeVino is dead.
EhnimOh dear. Well. That's that, then.
MeStill? What still?
EhnimOh. I probably shouldn't have said that. Vino's always been very particular about his little secret.
EhnimWhatever, now I've let it slip out anyway. Back in the woods, Vino set up a secret still.
EhnimA while ago, he asked me to get him something to grease his portcullis with.
EhnimIt's rained a lot recently and the thing rusted shut on him. Now the winch is stuck and no one can get in any more. What a mess.
MeAnd? Have you got the grease?
EhnimYeah, sure. The best there is. Molerat fat. Terrible stuff, let me tell you. It's even used to grease ship's cannons.
MeSell me the grease.
EhnimThat won't be cheap, mate. It's damn rare in this part of the country.
MeHow much?
EhnimMmh. 100 gold coins?
MeIt's a deal.
EhnimAll right. Here you go.
Ehnim(to himself) Oh dear. Vino's going to kill me.
EhnimDamnit, where did it go? What a bloody nuisance. Well, sorry. Obviously, I don't have it any more. Here's your dough back.
EhnimI bet this is my brother's doing again. That bastard.
EhnimNow isn't that swell. First you make a big deal of it and then you don't even have the money. Just beat it.
MeThat's too much.
EhnimOkay, okay. 70 gold coins, then. But that's my final offer.
MeThat's still too much.
Ehnim(angry) Then forget about it. Have a nice day.
MeI've got no time right now.
EhnimDon't let me keep you, man.
EhnimI don't have any time now.
