Quite the roller-coaster with that merchant. Thought he had the total edge and Holo just helped Lawrence utterly cut him down. Though that's what you get when you are cheating people! Getting the tables turned when the trick is revealed is just how it goes for that type.
The relationship between Lawrence and Holo remains totally cute. She's already leaning hard into the whole benefits of being in debt
. They already had the agreement to go North together, but hey a debt is another perfectly good excuse. Not that he could seriously force her to make good on it since...giant wolf trumps all
. But they have a comfortable dynamic.
Cute girl at the end certainly stunned Lawrence a bit. But we'll see how things play out there. No surprise that Holo wouldn't love shepherds. Although I'm sure there isn't one that could actually stop her from getting sheep
.
