Urs can swim

‘I can swim!’ Urs announced one evening as he stuck his head into Rumo’s room with a towel draped over his head and shoulders.

Rumo was sitting on his bed, tying up a bundle.

‘I’m leaving Wolperting,’ he said.

‘What?’

‘You heard.’

‘You’re taking a little trip? Waiting for this Rala hysteria to die down and then coming back? Letting the dust settle? Good idea.’

‘No, I won’t be coming back.’

‘But where will you go?’

‘No idea. Time will tell.’

‘You came here because of Rala and now you’re leaving because of her. Very logical!’

‘What else can I do? I’m the laughing stock of the entire city, thanks to her.’

‘She saved your life.’

‘I wanted to save hers.’

‘It doesn’t matter what you wanted. You’d be dead now, but for her.’

‘That might be preferable.’

‘Look at it any way you like, you’re in her debt. You can’t just run off like this.’

‘I can do as I please.’

‘Of course you can, but—’

‘But what’s the alternative?’ Rumo sounded genuinely desperate.

‘There’s only one thing to do in a situation like this: consult the oracle.’

‘The oracle?’

‘Ornt El Okro. He’s got an answer to every question.’

‘Ornt? The cabinetmaker, you mean?’
