[ESL - FB] Pontellian Modesty

[Captain Braunsfeld]

Discussions were starting in Pontelli, that something should be done to remind everyone what Brickinson had (by chance) done for the city.

There was a debate between the Mayor (Smiling Sally), Toktawoo  and Attorney Jon van Dyke:

Sally: We should be doing something as a sign of recognition for Colonel Brickinson.

Toktawoo: I agree. He has saved our city.

van Dyke: Yes, we need to do something. But not that big.

Sally: Something modest?

Toktawoo: Maybe a small statue?

van Dyke: Yes, but modest. With respect to our finances.

Sally: I agree. A statue. On the very spot where it happened and Asma fell to her death.

Toktawoo: I agree. 

Sally: Ok, a modest tiny statue. Let's do that.

And so it was that the "Brickinson Statue" was built on the Cliffs of Pontelli.

A favourite place for visitors and children - permanently guarded by Pontellian elite soldiers.

(Have a nice weekend!)

Thanks, I had hoped so.

If this is modest I'd hate to see their idea of a extravagant sized statue!  Great story and nice statue - also thanks for linking to the previous story, I missed that one while I was away.

Well executed rockwork! The statue looks good too, indeed very modest.

Thanks - they probably cannot afford an extravagant statue

Fine that you agree about the Pontellian idea of modesty. (that rhymes)
