So the moon is back in the sky, it seems.

That was a lot of fuss for nothing, wasn't it? Running around in caves...racing about chasing the moon... it's funny, in a way.

Chasing the moon is an old phrase. It represents an impossible dream. You can't catch the moon, though I guess we did for a little while. You know, before it turned into a rabbit or something and got away. Even if you can't catch an impossible dream, maybe you shouldn't stop chasing it.

I've chased a lot of things in my day, but the moon is definitely a first.

Mmmmmmmmm. [That's true.] We're just going to have to steal some if your boon doesn't come useful-like....I'll bet you the dwarfs know a thing or two about them.

[desperate_times]

You think so?

[She wonders, since the one dwarf she met used a sword.]

Perhaps they might be taught, if not.

[That could be a lucrative arrangement for both.]

[all7seas]

Oh, they know. They're clever with their fingers, dwarfs. Or so I've heard. We might trade them gold for bullets.

Having a stock of arms would be ideal. We have to compensate for magic somehow.

[Though some of those among the crew could use the stuff.]

Magic's all well and good, but it typically has too many rules attached to it. Can only be used on Thursdays, doesn't work on the Welsh, that sort of thing. A fine weapon at your side makes much more sense.

[She laughed softly at the absurd rules, but given the fairies here, she wouldn't put it past them.]

A combination would be best, then.

I'd love to see whatever it is you choose, once you choose it. [He says, returning to the original topic.] Ask big; it's the only rule.
