500 credits.

She said she probably had a lot to apologize for on your behalf. I let her.

[kleptocratic]

But you're still charging me 500 credits for a knife.

[ It had better be a nice knife. ]

She wants to be called Attolia because it is traditional to refer to the sovereign to take the name of their country as their own, as a reminder of one's duty to the state.

[realists]

You're married to the Queen of Attolia, you should be able to afford 500 credits.

[ she's not going to charge him 500 credits. ]

[kleptocratic]

The Queen of Attolia should be able to buy her own knives.

[realists]

You're lucky I haven't changed my mind.

[kleptocratic]

Did you already give her the knife?

[realists]

It's not finished.

You didn't tell me you were royalty.

[kleptocratic]

Actually, I just did.

[realists]

You haven't told me shit, I followed context clues.

[kleptocratic]

Marrying the queen makes you the king. I didn't really think it out.

[realists]

You said the Queen of Attolia married some Eddisian royalty to end the war. Did you forget to mention it was you?

[kleptocratic]

No, I just didn't want to.

[realists]

Why?

[kleptocratic]

What does it matter that I'm king of some country that isn't on any maps that no one has ever heard of?

[realists]

Poor logic considering you told me about that country.

[kleptocratic]

And the war. I left some things out of that, too. People always do when they talk about war.

[realists]

[ jyn decides to let it go because in the long run it isn't about her. it's his life, he can share it with who he pleases. ]

I'm not going to treat you like royalty. Or her.

[kleptocratic]

Good. I hate being treated like royalty.

[ And that is the biggest reason he has mostly kept it secret. ]

[realists]

Good.

50 credits. I had to buy a necklace to hide the knife.

[kleptocratic]

Oh, she wanted a hidden knife.

[ Of course she did. ]

[realists]

No, that was my contribution. We've seen what happens when displaced get arrested. I'd like to avoid that again if possible.

[ weapons are illegal therefore they must be hidden. ]

[kleptocratic]

She likes hidden knives.

[ He'll pay for that. ]

[realists]

We have that in common.

[kleptocratic]

As far as weapons go, they are remarkably versatile.

[ And easier for him to wrap his head around than all the fancy gun stuff. ]

[realists]

I prefer my truncheons. Less blood, less laundry.

[ she is not fancy, she's only ever had, maybe, two pairs of trousers at a time. now, truly decadent, she has three pairs. ]
