Friends, friends, there is no need to go to such extremes, all for the sake of that bauble. I do agree, though, that it is important that we keep it safe. There are those that would murder for such a thing, and they are a grievous threat to all of us. Anyone who would kill for a pearl... they are no friends of mine, or anyone in this pleasant, little village.

In Ruzelia, we have a word for people like you.

It's alashaerva, which translates roughly to "busybody navelgazer"

It is a pity, it is, that somebody went and took that pearl, they did. Oh yes, bad things happen to pearl getters, they do, it'd probably be best to get rid of the thing. But what does it matter what you do? It all ends the same way, it does.

In a village of so few, how can we afford a man who is of so little value to himself? Why do we not just get rid of you, you urchin!?

A man, you say, a man? A man? I may be many things, I am, but a man? By Slinvos, I'll have you know I am a prized possession in my corner of the grotto, I am! You'd be lucky to get my fleas, you would, you flea bottomed arse!

The fact that people are already lashing out at me for holding onto the pearl confirms that I am right to do so. Greed corrupts the hearts of men, and I am uncorruptable therefore I should hold on to it.
