Today, I'm interviewing Sarah Petty, owner of "Petty and Chandlish Armaments".  Thank you for being here, Ms. Petty.

Sarah:  Thank you for having me.

CB:  So you were a blacksmith living in Vestavia, but you picked up and moved to Valentria.  What made you decide to take that risk?

Sarah:  Lots of reasons.  Mostly I was tired of being broke all the time.  When Raven offered a new shop, I couldn't resist.

CB:  Raven?  That's Lady Branwyen Chandlish, right?  Were you nervous at all?

Sarah: *laughs* Sometimes I forget she's nobility.  But yes, Lady Branwyen.  As for being nervous, of course I was.  I mean, she expected me to move five hundred miles away on a whim.  But there's something about her that I just trust, you know?

CB: Which brings me to the burning question on all of our readers' minds.  Are you and Raven a couple?

Sarah:  It's a bit complicated, but currently no, we're not.

CB:  Can you tell us how your life has changed since you moved to Valentria?  Would you do anything different?

Sarah:  I have a lot more money now. *laughs*  It's been a wild ride, that's for sure.  I don't think I'd change any of it though.  Valentria is my home and I love her... I mean it.

CB: Has Malleus Maleficarum (the demon in Raven's soul) caused any friction between the two of you?

Sarah: Has the psychotic demon that's nearly destroyed the world twice before caused friction?  Yes, a little.  But I've learned that Raven can keep her mostly contained.

CB: And who contains Raven?

Sarah: *convulses with laughter*  You don't "contain" Raven.  You just hope to limit the damage.

CB: Thank you, Ms. Petty.  We look forward to seeing you in Windows: The Ivory Tower.

Sarah:  It's been a real pleasure.
