"Interesting" Aethelred said to the dwarf. just then one of the maidens at the Inn came with a plate of salted pork and a pint of mead. Aethelred was glad to finally have some properly cooked food and not rations for when he was journeying to different kingdoms. he took a bite of the pork and was impressed by how tasty it was, this was probably the best salted pork he had eaten in his life. the mead was almost just as good. he was glad to have followed the dwarf to this Inn, now he could eat, drink and relax for while until his next adventure.
