> How much time do we have to spare if we want to get back to the Human Village by evening to pick up our concoction?

[Kilgamayan]

> Let's simply wander the festival for a bit, then, keeping half attention out for anything interesting (and the other half on the clock so that we don't take too long and leave Reisen hanging).

> Let's simply wander the festival for a bit, then, keeping half attention out for anything interesting (and the other half on the clock so that we don't take too long and leave Reisen hanging).

>You make your way back toward the festival. Aside from the Prismrivers' performance, which you can hear just about anywhere. from that part of town, there are a number of food stalls aside from the two you squished between earlier. There are also a number of little market stalls further in offering a variety of what can be roughly termed useful scrap; you might've found something to make your cone here, but the trip to Kourindou was more than worth the savings, you think. There's also a few booth games; dart throwing, balloon fishing, and the like. It also seems like there's am impromptu swap meet going on by the riverside. It's kind of a shame no one told you about this, it might have been a good opportunity to put the mask maker back together (you've salvaged some parts out of it) and gin up a bit more profit. Oh well, you've got other things to do.
>You catch sight of the old man sitting on a bench by the riverside. You suspect someone put that u for him, kappa otherwise tend not to leave out public amenities like that, it encourages Loiterers.

[Kilgamayan]

> Make our way toward him. Wave if he looks at us.

[It's Purvis!]

> Make our way toward him. Wave if he looks at us.

>He does seem to notice you, and returns your wave.
>"Having a good afternoon?" he says.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Surprisingly, better than it could be going, yeah. Got your tea for you."
> Pull out and offer him the black tea.

>The old man's face lights up. "Ah! I wasn't expecting it to be delivered! How much do I owe you, young lady?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Smile a bit.
> "Like I said, today's gone better than it could have. Product and delivery will be 18☼, if that's okay."

[It's Purvis!]

> Smile a bit.
> "Like I said, today's gone better than it could have. Product and delivery will be 18☼, if that's okay."

>"Ah, that's no problem at all," he says, as he fishes out a handful of coins, counts out 19 of them, and offers it to you.
>You obtain 19☼

[Kilgamayan]

> Take it.
> "Thanks, friend! Much appreciated."

[It's Purvis!]

> Take it.

> How old are we, roughly?
> "The newest member of that band certainly helps the energy level."

>Old enough you don't like it when people ask you that question.
>"Oh yes, she's quite the performer," the old man says with a chuckle. "Their music is a little wild for me, but I appreciate what they're doing."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Heh. Yeah, that does tend to be the Prismrivers' M.O. in my experience."

[It's Purvis!]

> "Heh. Yeah, that does tend to be the Prismrivers' M.O. in my experience."

>"They do seem to be having fun, don't they?" he says, glancing over in their direction for a moment. "I'm sure that's the most important thing for a musician."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I'd believe it. And now they've got that redhead with them, which is only going to make it more fun for them."

[It's Purvis!]

> "I'd believe it. And now they've got that redhead with them, which is only going to make it more fun for them."

>He nods. "I think you're right. It must be an exciting time for their fans, don't you think?"
