If you like. But don't empty your wallet on my behalf!
[Amal can be surprisingly stubborn when it comes down to it. After he's paid for everything and slipped G'raha's new books into a couple of canvas bags, it's back to walking.]
Oh, me? I'm a dancer by profession. It translates surprisingly well here, though there are fewer weapons involved. I'll scare the guests, they said... [He rolls his eyes.] Thavnair was the birthplace of the discipline, and it's been passed down for generations as a way to protect that which we hold dear and purify the darkness from the hearts of the discontent. And also to entertain, of course. Naturally, I've developed some other skills adjacent to all of that—singing, playing instruments, telling stories, sleight of hand, how to tell if something is poisoned... whatever gets the job done.
[He'll carry the books if G'raha lets him, since they barely weigh anything to him.]
But here, all I have to do for coin is take a piece of clothing off every few minutes. Or sit and look interested while old men talk for hours. It's much easier than vanquishing dragons and the like.
