Diplomatic Immunity--Preface: Vasha's Discovery, Part II

[Rystil Arden]

"Oh, I'm sure he would--he seemed to really enjoy it. It's just that there's a connotation with giving food to your dog that you don't like it."

 

[Bront]

"Yeah, Zythryd mentioned that too. But if I don't like it, why would I feed it to Puddles?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, dogs will eat almost anything edible given the chance, right? So you could give food to Puddles if you thought it tasted bad, and he'd probably still eat it."

 

[Bront]

"Yeah, I guess. But that'd be mean to poor Puddles-Wuddles wouldn't it?" She rubs her dog's head.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, maybe," Karya smiles brightly at Vasha's display of affection for her dog, "Of course, if he likes it even though you didn't, then everyone wins, I guess."

 

[Bront]

"Yeah, that's true."

"How much do I owe for dinner?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Oh don't be silly. Dinner is on me, Sister."

 

[Bront]

Vasha beams at Karya.

"So, I'm sure there's other things to occupy the evening, since the markets tend to shut down. Got any suggestions?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Karya smiles back at Vasha.*

"Well, the night life is pretty colourful here in the Festive Ward. There's plays, concerts, operas, festhalls, dancers to watch, places to dance, even bathhouses here."

 

[Bront]

"Oooh, dancing sounds fun. And what's a Bathhouse? I don't think they have those on Arris."
