Sounds like you got a lotta those on your tail, pal.
[People who cause trouble where they're from will continue to cause trouble where they're at. Simon is no exception, but this little detail will keep him on his toes.

It's also complete bullshit, but it seems like a fun pastime riling this kid up. ]
They re-branded coal and it's going for three-hundred creds an ounce as "pre-diamonds."
Sure, diamonds are shiny 'n all, and some people are super into that-
[Namely, people like Grace, people who liked showy things.
Simon isn't really one to show off in that way, at least not yet. He lacks the confidence to do so.]
But they don't do anything. Coal keeps you warm! It can power things. If you ask me, that makes coal way more valuable. Doesn't matter if it's not pretty.
