Does it also make you sound like a merchant trying to peddle stolen wares, by any chance?

[ really, it's the behavior of a merchant peddling awful wares, suspicious and persuasive. still, alina chimes out a fond laugh. what's the point in behaving like her interest isn't piqued, when she's felt nothing but weighted by her burdens lately? ]

We'll have to see if it's as good as you say, won't we. [ notably, it isn't a question. ] Save something good for me.
