Sevnóni Joke
Two Serspolyn sit in a tavern, sipping their Krornik and swapping tales. As they talk, three starronči enter the tavern: a Sinopan, a Wythian, and a Lagonan river-trader. Now of course, the barkeep stands to throw them out, but seeing as the Serspolyn are some of his best customers, he makes his patrons an offer: they may kill one starronči of their choice, without fear of the barkeep calling the town watch. The first man, knowing his friend’s father was killed by Sinopans, sees this as an easy choice, and motions for his companion to make the kill. Without a word, the second man brandishes his dagger and hurls it across the room, piercing the river-trader square in the chest. The first man, taken aback, turns to his friend and says: “Why kill the Lagonan? Now the Sinopan will walk free!” The second man responds with a grin: “My brother is captain of the watch, he’d be furious if I killed the other two without his help”
This rather crude attempt at humour first appeared in @Marst, directly after the casting off of the Sinopan invasion.
