Rumors

Later that evening, at a tavern close to the inn Ryker was staying at...

Ryker walked into the busy tavern while rubbing at his stomach, taking in the rich smell of fried meats and poured liquor. As he entered, a waitress greeted him over the incessant chatter of the tavern's patrons, and led him to a free seat, asking if he was fine to share the table with others.

"Sure, that's fine," he said, simply, taking the offered seat and sitting down with a contented sigh. He grabbed a menu that was placed at the middle of the table, reading over its contents with help from Mini C's translation routines.

{Didn't you just eat an hour ago? How are you hungry again?} Bestie asked curiously.

'If we're gonna be traveling, anyway, we gotta try as much food as we can, right? The thought of new foods to try keeps me hungry at all times!' he thought back, licking his lips while thinking about which dish to try, here.

{Is that really how hunger works...?}
