I finally feel safe enough to stand up, and as I rise into the lighted area above the bar, it looks totally different. My word, these walls look like solid hammered copper....very nice. I hope those pirates don't get any ideas about it. Suddenly, Apil has a thought and runs out the door. Once outside, he scans the skies for clouds which might lead to lightning. If those really are copper walls, it might be a good idea to bring my bowl of kash outside at those times. It seems safe, so Apil walks back inside and explains his worries to Cailie and Xena.

They both look surprised, turn and look at the wall, and say, You know??? He's right. It does look like hammered copper.

Cailie looks back at him and says, Apil, do you know how expensive that would be?

Uhh.......No???

Xena looked at him and said, Apil, do you know how hot that would make it in here?

Uhh.......No???

Cailie said, Do you know how hard it would be to keep the tarnish off?

No, I uhh.......???

Xena said, Do you know how hard it would be to keep thieves from stealing pieces of it?

I KNEW THAT!! That one I knew!
