"You know, it is quite courageous of you to step up like this," said Mary, studying the chameleon. "Or quite stupid. Do you realize that even if I accept your demand, and end this auction early, you'll be offending quite a few people. I'm not just talking about whoever submitted Helsi into the auction, but also all the people who were trying to bid for her."
"I know," the chameleon said without hesitation. "But I cannot just abandon her like this. This… this wasn't supposed to happen."
The weight, the depth of his loss could be heard in his last sentence, when he claimed that things weren't supposed to play out as such.
Mary nodded, as if appreciating the chameleon's drive.
"Huh, you're not bad. You're also quite lucky. The Innkeeper has decided to accept your dispute claim, and Helsi is being removed from auction."
