Before Tomas could respond, Sophia chimed in, “That is true, and agreed.”
Sophia turned toward Tanya and said, “There is also the matter of that merchantman that got away today. Do you realize how much gold I lost today, because of you?”
“You lost? You mean what I lost because of YOU!” Tanya shot back.
Tomas stepped in, “Alright, ladies. We all wanted that merchantman, but…”
“Well, if you are afraid to bet the gold,” Tanya interrupted, on the attack.
Sophia put out her hand to shake Tanya’s, as she ignored Tomas, “We are NOT afraid. It’s a bet.”
