"That blue rectangle is a rare stamp."
"Do you think I'm a total idiot? It doesn't even have any gluey stuff on the back to stick the stamp to things, or little serrated edges."
I tried to grab the rectangle back and failed, so I just settled for running to the hotel.
When I got to it, the hotel lobby was much the same. A counter, a few plush chairs, and a door leading off to the rooms hallway. There was a grill in one corner. The grill was off and looked to have been for a few hours but it was so badly made it was still sizzling and smoking with heat. I thought for a moment how strange it is that a hotel in such a rich city would be so small, but then realized how there are so few travelers business would be bad. Having come to a logical conclusion my brain started working in overtime and I spent the next few minutes trying to figure out how fish could fence.
