The war was winding down allowing for more travel from merchants and other wealthy people. Ziggy had just prepared his first original dish- a lovely swordfish with crushed Cuda Berry sauce on seasoned rice. He was mixing the local favorites with food from Q’Barra. Talmeo was proud. One this icy wintery day they had a bard come to play. It was another of Ziggy’s ideas that Talmeo found was excellent. The changeling had incredible people skills and understood their preferences and moods. “Talmeo, I had a wonderful dream last night.” He gushed. “I hope it had a woman in your life.
