Events

“Long day. I gotta eat. I’ll be up early.”

That porridge is not fresh – nobody has delivered you… are you going to eat that?

“Yeah. It’s getting good now. That’s why I spread it out in the bowl. It makes it all be crust.”

I fear I am more fascinated than horrified. Why might one even do that?

“Because I don’t have two days to let it set properly. It’s best after two.”

I note that your Truth Rune gives you no pain, yet you continue to pollute the world with this opinion.

“Yep.”

“I get them to cook it with salt.”

“Lord Raven?”
