That doesn't sound like much of a 'choice', babe.

It's phrased as a choice, they said they won't make me enlist, but they offered to pay me for being a contractor and making things for them. Not really sure what I'm going to do yet. I don't mind making corecloth for the soldiers, but also, fuck them, so.

I guess if it's a choice between this and being enlisted/conscripted, this is a better option. But I know how you feel about the military here.

Are you sure you're alright with this?

I don't think I have another option. At least this way I'll be rich.

[philancer]

I didn't think that mattered to you.

[itookashot]

Of course it matters, I provide for both Kaz and myself. I used to provide for Wylan and Inej too. Plus I buy presents for everyone and rooms at Nocwich every month. Coin's necessary. I grew up poor. Plus I want to be richer than Jaskier because it would be funny.

[philancer]

I'll just pretend I know how rich that is and nod agreeably, then.

Do you need help?

[ He and Claude and Hilda had been pooling resources for so long now it hadn't occurred to him. But this was Jesper. ]

No, baby, I have money, I just wouldn't say no to MORE money.

From them. Not from you.
