You end up in the Black Swan fifteen minutes later. It's already three-quarters full, but you manage to find a seat in the back. Varys orders a round of beer for four; the barmaid looks at him, puzzled, saying, "But there are only two of you."

Varys smiles and responds, "Three are for me. Come on now, and bring us some bread with cheese, a full roasted chicken, and oh, some of that wonderful beef broth you're so well known for." The barmaid leaves, probably wondering when the last time someone ordered an entire roasted chicken was. More men start gathering in the tavern, rushing to the bar and ordering as many drinks as they can. Varys looks over at you and says, with a somewhat worried expression, "They know that Sir Robert is paying this bill, right?"

You respond, "I would think so, or at least, they will soon enough." You point at some of the Governor's guards, who have just walked into the tavern. They have a conversation with the owner, who starts to look upset when they mention the word "free." He quickly changes his demeanor when they drop a large bag of Gold onto the counter. The guards then leave in a hurry; obviously, there are several other taverns to visit. Varys sighs in relief.

After some time, the food finally arrives. Varys looks a bit disappointed when he doesn't see an entire roasted chicken; instead, it's a few hunks of chicken in a bowl. "What is this?" he asks.

"Sorry. The owner says everyone can eat as much as they'd like, but they'll be limiting the portions; otherwise, they'll sell out within an hour," replies the girl. "Besides, you couldn't have eaten an entire roasted chicken by yourself."

"I would have liked to have tried!" responds Varys. She puts the drinks and food down, then leaves. A few beggars walk in and look surprised when everyone starts offering to buy them drinks. They're oblivious to what's going on. A few foreigners look confused as well when the owner reluctantly gives them back their money. When you look back at the table, you see that Varys has eaten most of his food. For as long as you've known him, he could eat three times as much as a normal man but still maintain his lanky figure. You decide to eat and drink as well, and finish just after Varys has convinced the barmaid to bring him a third portion of chicken. After some time has passed, Varys gets up and asks if you'd like to play darts, which is his favorite bar game. You think for few seconds; Varys always wins at darts, but at least it's challenging…

What should you do?
