[As he's listening Alfred finds himself laughing too even has his horse shakes its head to move left, then right. What is that other steed doing? He calms the beast with a rubbing to the neck and loosening of the reins. Go where you please, animal, just don't buck. That would be bad. Fortunately all is well.
All is well, particularly humorous when he mentions the harlot, until Monsieur Blanc begins speaking of severing fingers. What? Is that what these men do? The fantasy gains another crack and Monsieur Orange's smile falters. His brow furrows and he worries. Does Blanc truly do such things or is he speaking only in the worst circumstances? When he turns against them what will happen to him? Orange has no time to further these thoughts when Blanc mentions his hunger. The smile returns. Business is over with, they'll feast instead.]
There's one only a walk from here. They serve meals or cider if you prefer a simple drink.
[Please partake in a full meal, he wishes. The more reason to spend time in his presence, to learn more about Monsieur Blanc. Only getting to know the enemy, that's what he'll tell Captain Holdaway. Alfred urges his horse to follow after Blanc's.]
