Wait! The slave dancers are here!

Bugger. My wife might just kill me for this.

If anyone wants to pop into the kitchen while they do their stuff, that's OK. I'm hungry.

[Togas]

Oh. um. The meal? It's fine. Very fine. Good, in fact. The best meal I've had all day.

Is there any chicken-fried squid here?

[GeneralTacticus]

There had better be I tried it a while ago and found I liked it.

Waiter! Some wine, if you please.

* Aidun Cian the older claps in his hands to hold a speech *

Ahem,

My dear fellow señores, most honoured exalted Lord Togas,

I have lived a long life and finally I have grown old, the years are beginning to count.
The function of Governor of Zaragoza is is a heavy job, too heavy for a man of my age. I have thought it over many times, but finally I've made my decision, if the Lord Togas agrees, my son Aidun will succeed me. He has studied at la Academia with Señor Winterius II, a proven philosopher, and learned all the things a governor should know in these days.
However, before he is going to succeed me, I want him to marry a girl. Thus I am looking for a suitable girl to marry my son.

I thank you for your attention and I hereby ask for a toast on our great Despot who has brought our nation with his magnificent discernment to glory! Let us drink!

Why, of course there is a fried-chicken-Squid!
And it is only errr.... 45 bones!
Cheap!
Now keep buying, eh I mean partying!
HEh, M´lord, just for the sake of knowledge... the bones will be transfered into gold shields by the estate, won´t them? Just to know...

You know, Amigo Aidun. Your family is a very important one and you will probably have more than one candidate for the place of your son's wife. I can think of at least two of my cousins suitable for that! What will you do if you have more than one girl wanting to marry your son?

[Aidun]

I hoped that the question would never come up, but my mind foresaw that it would came and warned me for it, yet I kept hoping.

That Ricardo, is indeed a very difficult question. I cannot simply say no because the marriage is such a high honour. I will personally invite each girl to come to Zaragoza and to get better known to each other. Then I will make a choice together with my son. I think that is the best way to solve the problem.

By the way, strange guy, Polaris Winterius, shouts about having found a god ... Keep your sword ready Ricardo, I have my sacred formulas ready. If he's going to bother the women or girls we are then at least able to stop him. I'll keep an eye on him.

How about squid-fried squid?

[History Guy]

Speaking of a girl, if you look in the city screen at Saragossa, you'll see a pretty little blonde there, I believe (unless she's out having lunch, or something). You know, she's the most sought-after spinster in Spain, and just 18! That's my daughter, Calamara. If you'd like, perhaps, to allow me to pay for the growing of a militia unit in that city at some future point, so that these men can be my son's regiment, it might be a perfect match...

Yes, here is a plate of Pamplona Fried Chicken Squid...made especially for the High Priest (and my associate, Senor Pikesfan), by my humble self.

High Priest, take a few skins of wine home with you. In fact, here's twelve barrels. And here's a barrel of squid for frying. If you'd like my recipe...I'll give it to you...but remember! It's a family secret! (If I were to give anyone else this recipe, I'd have to kill them immediately afterwards...)

*Samples some of the offered food* Very nice, Fernand. thank you for your contribution to the Priesthood. May the spirits confer their blessings upon your business.

Amen!

Señor Dejon, do you have a daughter or niece? I am looking for a nice girl to marry my son Aidun Cian.
