 _self_emote gasp 
 _self_say Eek. A guard! I hope I haven't offended you in some way by being in this port.  
 _partner_say You're fine good citizen. Just doing an inspection of the area. Carry on. 
 _partner_emote nod 
 _self_say Ah. I'm here for a leisurely time but I find it nerve wracking. There are so many strange people about.  
 _partner_say Indeed there are strange people afoot. I try to take a mental image of everyone I come into contact with 
 _partner_emote stare 
 _self_act drop shovel 
 _self_say Oh. Interesting. I wonder where I might sell this shovel. I could use a new one.  
 _partner_say There's at the end of the harbor that specializes in random goods. Maybe you could try there. Doing a lot of gardening? 
 _partner_emote ponder 
 _self_say Oh yes yes. I live in a small cabin with a garden. I grow all of my own food you see.  
 _partner_say Oh I see...it must be a lot of work having to grow your own food. As a guard they provide our meals and goods for us. 
 _self_say Well you just never know what they're feeding you then. That sort of thing makes me quite nervous.  
 _partner_say I never thought of it that way! I spent most of my life protecting the king, I could be eating anything. 
 _partner_emote gasp 
 _self_say Exactly! You must be careful. Especially with this seafood around here. You just never know 
 _partner_say Thank you. I certainly appreciate the helpful tip. It's rare if anyone looks out for a guard. 
 _partner_emote smile 
 _self_say Well that's sad. After all you're laying your life down for our king.
