"You too have been gracious, Snarf. I do feel welcomed, far more than I expected. I will not ask how your establishment manages to hang on the brink of oblivion, but suffice it to say I understand that such things are possible. I would offer to play for your crowd, but I would have have everyone crying inside of ten minutes." Mithias gave a slight smile. Clearly he was feeling better. "Would you tell me Charlotte, how you came to be here in this strange place?"
