E-excuse me! Sir..! Er, ma'am! Sorry to bother you, but... Could you tell me what land this is? I don't know how far I've traveled, and

No such family has passed this way yet, sir. Will you let me buy you a drink, and you can wait their arrival?

[thegoodprince]

Oh...

But this does seem like a rather large place. Is it a capital? Do you think one can be sure, here?

It's kind sir, but it's not specifically a beggers place to solicite such things from others... Also, I wonder that it's best to press forward. It is important that I find them as soon as possible.

[ecotourist]

You cannot solicit what I have already offered. Repay me in company, I am new here, too.

I understand that all travellers pass through this point, but if you must move on then wait one night and start your journey better rested. You'll find your pace will make up the delay.

[thegoodprince]

... Everyone passes through here, you say?

Perhaps it wouldn't hurt too badly... A meal and drink and night's sleep.

[ecotourist]

It can only help, especially if it has been long since you have had any of the three.

[lowers his voice]

Sir, as I understand your need, there may be spies of the empire listening to the questions you ask here. Please, do not give up information too readily. If they have seen your family they can answer you yes or no.

[thegoodprince]

Spies...? Oh dear. I'd hate... Humblest apologies, oh me. I'll have to be more careful.

[ecotourist]

Caution is never ill advised. Now, tell me what you'll have to drink...

[ooc: if this counts as a network post, Mowgli will probably do his level best to get in and lock it as soon as he has the chance.]

[thegoodprince]

Whatever the local choice will be, I suppose. It does vary from place to place, so it's the safesty guess as to what's served.

[[ooc: Fly won't stop him... or ever mention it again. >>]]

[ecotourist]

Many travellers bring many choices, friend. There is a rice wine from the eastern lands which they serve hot that seems popular here.

[ooc: awww. Assume it's done by tomorrow, then. Tourist @ work.]

[thegoodprince]

That sounds... interesting. I'll give it a try, then.
