[Today, Eco's treating a certain grump to lunch. It's nothing much (though through his exploring Eco had at least found one restaurant that was relatively delicious and not so hard on a meager budget in the Alpha District, which was hard because seriously, it is horribly expensive) and honestly, it's to butter up Belca for what he's going to ask

[He knows the problem though - Azelprade is in potential danger while they're here, stuck and apparently without a means to get back. The Crown Prince, and his attendant...]

I'm not like you are. I get along just fine without going out and doing all sorts of crazy things.

This is important! No matter where he is, a prince needs allies. What if unsavory folk arrive? It'd be good to have more than a simple bard and an injured ex-captain of the guard.

So you'll go out on the date, right?

You'd better get me lunch again.

Anytime. [Uhm. He nudges his own food forward. Not really touched, so.] If you're still hungry, you can have mine. Do you know date etiquette?

[YOINK. Okay, good, he's going to shovel some of that in now.]
