The fact that you're offering to let people out of his trades seems a bit "odd". A) It's not your place to do such a thing B) You don't have to give your trade partner the OK to void a deal. An enterprising owner will figure a way out if he wants out even without your blessing.
Just a few more pages. It's losing steam.
I'd like to believe there's something else out there but I'm not religious so I'm not counting on it. Recently I've been concerned about disposal of my dead body. Maybe hell is being stuck in the cold, wet ground for eternity. Or being burnt til you're ashes. That's not an "afterlife" line of reasoning. Right now, I think I'd like to wander off into the woods and let the critters eat me. Like an old elephant.
