The Odd Couple

“So, Jasmine, that cape gives you access to a pocket dimension?”

“Indeed it does.”

“Then why do you hate it so much? I’d love to have a place to stash this crossbow I’ve been carrying.”

“My father meant it as a chastity cape. I can’t even take the damn thing off without his say so.”

“Or until he dies, right?”

“Well, yes. Why do you ask?”

“Because it would be an easier way to free you from that cursed cape.”

“Arkady, I told you before, we’re not getting married.”

“What? I thought you loved me?”

“The only reason we’re still together is because you said you’d help me find my friend.”

“Hey, I got you a ride into the next town!”

“Arkady, we had to hitch a ride with this circus troupe just to get to the next town. And that clown’s been saying crazy things.”

“Ah shit…Jasmine, you might wanna get your enormously large set of throwing knives out. We’re being attacked by monsters now.”

“You have a crossbow, why don’t you just shoot them?”

“Because that bastard in the armory I stole it from only had four arrows lying next to it. We had to escape before the king’s guards found us, remember?”

“Fine, here, take this knife and wave it around if the evil puppy tries to bite you.”
