Can I come with you?

"You're certainly informed," Doevm said.

"I-I just heard it from the people around me," the driver hesitated, still speaking with eyes on the road.

"I see," Doevm nodded. 'I knew that voice was familiar,' he thought as he stared out the window. "Good thing Lance was so decisive. Now is the best time to enact such new policies."

"It was a long time coming," the driver responded.

"You are extremely well-informed," Doevm let out an exaggerated gasp. "The policy hasn't been announced yet."

The driver went silent.

Doevm decided to push one last time. "Have you been to the Virility estate before? I hear the goblins they grow are to die for."

"I've seen their goblins a few times," the driver huffed, then her head sunk into her calloused hands. "That was a test, wasn't it?"

"Is she someone you know?" Thomas asked.

"Yup," Doevm said. "Another fool to add to the bunch, aren't you Olpi?"
