>"I would say good luck with that," says Tewi, with a shrug, "But you've already had better luck than would have ever bet on. Normally I'd just say go sic Reisen on him, and then skip off for tea, but that's just not going to cut it this time."

>"Well, he asked me if I had a moment," says Tewi. "Then, he started making conversation about some of the stuff I bought, and what I'd done with it. At first I thought he was just reminiscing, then I kind of felt I still owed, like I had cheated him and still owed, and...well, things went downhill."

> Sigh.

I'm willing to bet he didn't explicitly ask the person who picked them from you either, even though he knew full well how that person would go about things."
