Scene: Kromdale and Quisyndia stand in the kitchen. Quisyndia is telling a story from her day, gesturing excitedly and pointing a spatula at the dwarf often.
Quisyndia: So then she said I know what you mean, so then I said yeah, exactly, so then she said, what did you do...
Kromdale: Does this story have a point? I'm hungry.
Quisyndia: Yes, quiet, I'm getting there. So then she said, what did you do? So then I said, First I went and got a bucket. So then she said what was the bucket for, so then I said--
Kromdale: This story would go faster if you didn't have to say so then I said, and so then she said, every time!
Quisyndia: Be quiet! Women get more words per day than men, it said so in the book. So, then I said--
Kromdale: Really? How many of those words are So then I said, and so then she said?
Quisyndia: What's your point?
Kromdale: Well, that's like eight words a sentence you don't need. Look, you've already used eighty- three words in this blog, and--
Quisyndia: You counted?!?!?
Kromdale: Eighty-five now. Anyway, thirty-two of those words are So then I said or So then she said...it’s ridiculous!
Quisyndia: It is not!
Kromdale: That's like, 37.6 percent of your words that do not have any point or get us closer to ending this agony!
Quisyndia: This from a dwarf who can't remember what day it is or count how many pairs of pants he has?
Kromdale: Who has time for that?
Quisyndia: You have five pairs of pants, thus why we make you wash them every four days!
Kromdale: I still say I could go five!
Quisyndia: Then you wouldn't have a pair to wear while the others were drying!
Kromdale: I wouldn't need a pair. I would just be running around here...
Quisyndia: Without pants!
Kromdale: Duh! Didn't we just cover that?
Quisyndia: <Gags> That is exactly why you need a pair.
Kromdale: Bah, anyway, why remember? You just said you make me do it every four days...so obviously I don't need to keep track.
Quisyndia: <Blinks>
Kromdale: Yeah, Boom! Points for me...Now can you just sum this story up? I'm hungry!
Quisyndia: <Sticks her tongue out> Fine, So then I said--
Kromdale: NO! I said sum it up!
Quisyndia: I am! But this is how it goes! So then I said the water elemental, so then she said, that
makes sense, so then I said, yeah and--
Kromdale: Hold it! No more So then I said! Sheesh! Is that how you do magic? So then I said Aesafal,
and So then the lightning said Ka-BOOM...
Quisyndia: I have to tell it my way.
Kromdale: You're up to like 42 percent...and we're no closer to the end of this story!
Quisyndia: Fine, fine! You want me to sum it up?
Kromdale: Yes!
Quisyndia: Would one word be fine?
Kromdale: That would be perfect!
Quisyndia: Okay, I'll use one word.
Kromdale: Thank the earth spirits! Go ahead. Say it!
Quisyndia: FIREBALL!!!!!!!
