The moment he finished speaking, more plates laden with food floated over from the side.
'That's it? I don't need to swear an oath or do anything else?'
Thinking this, Colin looked down at his food.
The meal included a plate of thick-cut smoked pork, over-easy eggs, and two slices of wheat bread, plus a classic traveler's stew and, finally, a foamy mug of beer.
The traveler's stew was made with beef brisket, beans, and carrots stewed with potatoes. As it was served, the distinct, beefy aroma wafted straight to his nostrils.
This was a fairly classic Thousand Masts City meal.
Colin glanced at the food in front of the others.
In front of Kase was a whole rack of smoked ribs—from what animal, Colin couldn't tell. Beside it was a dish of blueberry jam, classic Northern fare.
Orelia received a bowl of stewed lamb shank with some black bread. The meat was sprinkled with spices like chili and cumin—something someone from the South would likely enjoy.
