‘You’ll never get me to talk, knave!’

‘Actually, I was interested in how you became a warrior.’

‘Oh! I was a maid in a tavern before this.’

‘That makes absolutely no sense.’

‘Hear me out! So, I’d spend all day handling jugs; big round solid jugs.’

‘Of course you did.’

‘One fateful day when I was handling more jugs than I should have, I bumped into some “warrior” who thought it was ok to touch my jugs.’

‘The fiend!’

‘Long story short, we decided to settle our differences in an arm wrestling match!’

‘This keeps getting better and better. And of course…’

‘I won! That “warrior” carried around one of those lightweight floppy swords! Do you really think he could swing it around all day? On the other hand, how much do you think fully loaded jugs weigh? And I have my hands full ALL DAY LONG!’

‘That does explain your muscular arms.’

‘So, as per the deal, I got all his gear and he had to wait tables.’

‘And what would the name of this wastral be?’

‘Frankly, I don’t recall his first name, but I think he was a cinnamon or simmering or something like that. But with some hard work lifting jugs, I’d say he’s coming along quite nicely.’
