Believe him

From Create Your Own Story

"You don't have to make things up to gain my sympathy, you know."

"I'm not," Zeth said between his teeth. Dez drew a slow breath, then stepped closer and lowered his voice.

"I don't see how you could be telling the truth, but if you are, then that's not something you want to tell people, especially around here. Some of these people, like Jaguan, would set his own mother on fire for the chance to fuck a virgin mage, and there are few others who would have the guts to stand up to him. I'm not one of them, just so you know." Jaguan scared the shit out of him.

"So, what do you suggest I should do?" Zeth asked.

Dez should...

• Say, "Tell me how you can still be a virgin."
• Say, "Let's find a room."
• Say, "Sit next to me at dinner."
