spoiler into Béar's thoughts:
[sblock]I guess taking a bath before going in front of my Queen is probably the best course of action...our report is not urgent, and I smell like dung...there is no need for her highness to experience our stench........I should buy a new green tunic...she would appreciate my thoughtfulness of freely proclaiming myself into her service...maybe Gavril could help, I havent purchased clothes in quite some time.[/sblock]
"I assume that the queen has patrols, guards, and spies-a-plenty. I doubt she is "anxiously awaiting" our arival as he says, but I'm sure that ranking officials were told that we would be coming this way. When we were spotted, he would have been dispatched to greet us."
You men are right...we should bathe before approaching her Highness.
