TNDG Day 10: I naively thought at first that there were going to be fewer posts than day 8

I need you to vote for Mary. I'm sorry I didn't ask you to do it earlier when we were having so many problems getting your trade together. If you need proof of why it's important, we can talk about it more in private. But it's very important indeed.

Well, he's one of the reasons I even have this many votes...

[Sobers to a more serious expression.]

...Hey, if you ever feel again like you need to offer "sexual favors" to make a deal here... you don't really have to, okay? You don't want to start on that path of selling yourself for favors or coins. It's not... pleasant. Things aren't that bad here right now.

I'm sorry I said that... I didn't want to make you think "I definitely think he's the kind of guy who would agree to that, in a bad way". I meant it when I said it, but it's more like... look, I would also cut off my leg to make this happen. [GOOD THING THIS HAPPENS BEFORE ENE'S PERFORMANCE?] But I only have two legs. I've got to save them for a hotel pass at least. I know it seems weird that I'm freaking out so much when I'm theoretically safe this round... I just think about the future a lot.

This is the first time I've offered favors, so now that I've seen what it does to someone, it'll also be the last time, okay?
