Will's outside at the archery range, its a good thing to do as he thinks about what maybe coming this tax time.

Also he's worrying about Guppy though at least Kate's doing better.

"Last winter, in this place," Teja says, "there was much snow -- but it was not much colder than it is now, when I first arrived; and that was the full moon in October."

Pause.

"But to a man from your lands, a Gothic warrior that freezes in September would be amusing."

Will smiles,

"Nay, wouldna be, milord."

"This winter, maybe, I would get used to it," Teja says, "and not take cold at every snowball thrown at me!"

"Aye, milord an snowballs are fun."

"Indeed," Teja says, "I might get used to the idea, this winter!"

"Winter is lovely, milord. Gives ye a reason to drink mulled wine."

"Indeed, and that half-drink, half-dish with the apples," Teja concedes. "Still, I feel cold!"

"Fire 'ere is lovely, milord."

"Or in the forge," Teja says. "It is less cold, there."

"Aye, tis, milord an thank ye for the arrow'eads."

"I will make more," Teja says, "it will help me to keep warm!"

Will just grins at that,

"Would be grateful for that, milord."

"There is ever a fight against the men that would oppress your people," Teja says, "so I would help wherever I can!"

"Oh aye, milord, will let ye know when I know the Sheriff's plans for the tax."

"Yes, you should!" Teja says. "I have taken Byzantine tax men and that which they had stolen from the land, when Totila led the war against the them, from the bottom up."

"Thank ye, milord, would be grateful for yer aid."

"Just tell me when you have use for me," Teja says.

"Aye, I will, milord."

"Good," Teja says.

Then, he nods to Will, and continues on his way to the sparring grounds.
