[ His turn? He didn't know he had to reciprocate with a story, but... ]

You sound like someone I know.

I happened on a friend one day in the streets of Akkā. He begged me to help him leave the city, lest he be killed by the guards. He had spent the previous night in a brothel, having his fill of wine and women. He had too much wine, and insulted one of the women there. He did not know it, but she was the wife of one of his enemies.

What someone's wife was doing in a brothel with several men, I cannot say. [ His mouth twisted wryly. ]

The next morning, her husband did not accuse her of adultery, but instead began hunting my friend with help from his allies, the city guard. Several men outright attacked us in the middle of crowded streets, but I and my blade ensured his safe passage to the city gate.
