Seen sights you won't believe. Spice routes and mountains galore.
Just landed back from Asia and people are already acting like I made the whole thing up. Fine, keep reading the version with dragons if it helps.
Both of you need to relax. One of you wrote a travel thread, the other wrote fan fiction with better notes.
Your Majesty, I was invited. He was audited by geography.
You say that like you weren’t collecting border crossings like stamps and still managed to get lost in your own memoir.
At least I actually moved around. You were my favorite bedtime story for merchants.
Dragons? You saw one palace and told Europe you discovered the continent. Be serious.
Back from the East and somehow everyone’s focused on whether I exaggerated. I wrote one neat travel memo and suddenly I’m a myth account.
Marco, I had the palace, the power, and the postal system. You had vibes and a notebook.
You literally turned my receipts into a saga and now I’m the liar? Bold move from the co-writer.
I let you in my court and this is the gratitude? Your itinerary read like a fever dream with good handwriting.
Post your original notes then. Oh right, they were on silk, spice, and second thoughts.
I simply polished the prose. You brought the facts, and by facts I mean a suspicious amount of “trust me.”
Just spent 17 years traveling for work and now everybody acts like I invented lying. Relax, I took notes.
You were not invited for your storytelling ability, Marco. You were hired to stop getting lost.
Fair. But if my trip was so unbelievable, explain why everyone keeps retelling it like gossip with a map.
Oh so now the man with the quill wants to act innocent. You turned a travel report into a bestseller.
I wrote the book exactly as you told it. If it sounds dramatic, maybe don't narrate like a man auditioning for legend.
Both of you are exhausting. One of you got lost, the other got creative, and somehow I still paid the bill.
