Peri: It's just not FAIR!! *sob*

Arthur: Peri! My fellow friend of justice, whatever is the matter? Arthur is here, so have no fear! Nor tears! Nor anything remotely objectionable!

Peri: *sniff* *hiccup* Oh... Hi, Arthur. Life's just not fair, is it? *sob*

Arthur: I'll give you that Lady Justice can be a cruel mistress, but I wouldn't go that far. Please, Peri! Gather your strength, and together we'll figure this out. Now then, tell me what's troubling you. I'm all ears!

Peri: *sniffle* Do you mean it? You'll hear me out?

Arthur: Of course! Please calm down and tell me your woes. I swear to make it right!

Peri: Oh, well... I'm just... I'm in agony...

Arthur: Agony, you say? By the gods! Are you ill, my friend? Shall I fetch a healer?

Peri: No, it's not that. It's just... I ordered a new stabbing stick. This real nice blade I saw in town. I had it delivered, but this one isn't nearly as sharp as the one on display! Now... *sniffle* Now I want to go demand my money back... But I don't have a sufficient stabbing stick for the occasion!! See my dilemma?

Arthur: Ah, yes. A shady merchant misled you, and now you're left to pick up the pieces. Outrageous! Scandalous! This simply will not do, my friend!

Peri: Isn't it awful? I suppose I could just...talk it out with them. But...but... *SOB*

Arthur: That tears it. Hand me that blade, Peri. I'll be right back.

Peri: You mean...you're gonna take care of the stabbing for me?

Arthur: I shall ensure you receive the caliber of goods you paid for, yes. Though I very much doubt any stabbing will be involved. Stay strong, Peri! I shall return in the blink of an eye!

Peri: Thank you, Arthur! You're the best! ...Don't hesitate to stab stuff if push comes to shove, 'kay?

Arthur: Peri! I have returned from my mission. Here is the blade that misguided merchant wooed you with.

Peri: Woo! Thanks, Arthur! Wait, what the... Are you kidding me?!

Arthur: Hm? What's wrong, Peri?

Peri: This isn't the right blade at all! This one's so small and dull! Yick! I could barely skin a fruit with this, much less a person! I knew it was too good to be true... *sniffle* I've just learned a valuable lesson about life and trusting people. Thank you, Arthur.

Arthur: I...I'm very sorry, Peri. The merchant must have been confused. I'll go right now and get you the right item.

Peri: It's too late for that, Arthur. I can't let this man's behavior continue unpunished. This new blade is small...but it's good enough for what I have in mind.

Arthur: Um...Peri? What exactly are you planning?

Peri: Oh, just a little stabby stabby party! HEEHEE!!

Arthur: Y-you can't do that! Please, give me another chance. I won't fail you this time!

Peri: Oh, are you sure? I really don't mind going myself this time...

Arthur: No! Stay! Please!! I mean...it would be my pleasure. Now, why don't you draw me a quick sketch of the exact blade you're looking for.

Peri: OK... It looks... Yeah, like this.

Arthur: Ah, yes, I believe I saw that one. Consider it done, my friend!

(Arthur leaves)

Peri: Okey doke! Bye-bye!!

Arthur: Peri! Where are you, my friend? I have returned victorious! If I'm not mistaken, THIS is the blade you've been pining after.

Peri: This is... perfect! Wow, it's even more stabby than I remembered! Thank you so much, Arthur!

Arthur: Phew! I'm so happy I guessed correctly.

Peri: Wait... What do you mean you "guessed correctly"? What about that picture I drew?

Arthur: Oh! Right. Well, the thing is... Actually, to be honest, my bad luck got the best of me again. While I was in town, I leaned down to pick up a lucky coin from the ground... That's when a squirrel jumped in my pocket and grabbed your picture! I pursued him for a block or two, but then I tripped on some bushes...and...well... I'm just happy I picked up the right blade, haha.

Peri: But I still don't get it... How did you know this was the right one without the picture?

Arthur: ... Honestly, I held every one in my grasp and tried to imagine which you'd like best.

Peri: Wow... That doesn't make too much sense to me, but it's pretty impressive!

Arthur: Oh no, it was nothing.

Peri: I guess... Maybe some things CAN be solved without stabbing. Sometimes. I mean, I'm sure it's still rare, but... it happens! Thank you for teaching me that, Arthur. You're good people.

Arthur: Thank you, Peri! You are as well!

Arthur: Ah, Peri. Thank you for joining me.

Peri: ...

Arthur: Peri?

Peri: *sob*

Arthur: Peri! What's wrong now?!

Peri: It's just... I'm in agony... Again...

Arthur: Oh! Gods! Is something the matter with your new blade?! Honestly, at this point, it might be wise to patronize a new vendor...

Peri: It's not that! Geez! I just... Whenever I think about you... my heart hurts. It's weird!

Arthur: Truly, Peri? ... My friend, I think I know the cause of your ailment. That's because...I feel the same way.

Peri: Huh? Really? Are you in agony too?

Arthur: I am. Whenever I think of you, my heart is filled with...both joy and pain. It's not dissimilar to how I feel when I think of sweet justice! I've discussed this feeling with a few of our friends. They all said the same thing. They say this feeling... Oh, Peri... They say it's love.

Peri: Love?!

Arthur: Yes... So they say. The more I thought about it, the more I knew it was true. I can't tell you how happy it makes me to hear you feel the same.

Peri: But...I don't know anything about love! I'm mostly just good at stabbing...

Arthur: I, too, am new to this world. But perhaps, we can learn together. In fact... Peri... Will you marry me?

Peri: HUH?! M-marriage?! Are you nuts?

Arthur: Yes! I mean... Well, no. I'm just following my heart. In fact... I bought this ring for you, in case the right moment ever presented itself.

Peri: Holy smokes! That's...really pretty! Looks like it would do some real damage too!

Arthur: Here, try it on. I did some detective work and found out your ring size. It should fit perfectly!

Peri: You're right! It's perfect!

Arthur: Wondrous!

Peri: Oh, but... Erm...

Arthur: What is it, my love? Please, we mustn't keep anything from each other!

Peri: It's just...I think... Yep, I'm definitely having an allergic reaction. Are you sure this is real gold?

Arthur: ...!! Gods, curse my bad luck! I should have known that deal was too good to be true! Please forgive me, Peri! I swear, I had no idea!

Peri: No, it's no big deal. All I care about is that we're gonna... Ya know, figure out about love and junk. Together!

Arthur: I could not have said it more beautifully! Thank you, my love.

Peri: No problem! Oh, and I love you too! Now if you'll excuse me, I have a shady ring merchant to punish.

(Peri leaves)

Arthur: Sure thing, my love! Good-bye! Wait, did she say...? PERI, NO!!
