With his back and belly cruelly creased between table and counter and elbow nearly embedded within counter sludge, Ereth makes his desires known to the barkeep.
Not wavering in his wiping, the man says, "
You must be wanting our specialty and something to wash it down?"
Lest Ereth repeat his request, he avers that he serves but one dish and but one drink at the Emperor of Curd. Would he have the specialty or no?
He raises his eyes to yours. When risen, they still hang.
The pin on his red vest reads: "
I'm not Chester!"
Lotti:
"Why do you come up from under the reception area? It seems like a strange place to be at this hour of the night or morning, whatever it is."
"
That's the employee break room," Chester brightly answers.
Lotti:
"What's it like to be outside in the village/hamlet in the evening? Is it safe for a lady, or anyone else for that matter to walk around?"
Genuinely baffled, the concierge explains that he would never go outside -- with the Emperor of Curd being a full-service establishment, why would he?
Lotti:
"Does the fog come in every evening, has it always been like that?"
For the first time, a troubled thought wrinkles Chester's brow, "
Yes, it does. No, no, it has not always quite been like that. But it has been for as long as I can remember as curious as that sounds."
Lotti:
"What would be your biggest concern if you were out at night around here?"
"
That I would never be able to find my way back to the Emperor of Curd."
