Kara followed Smith out of the house, speaking to him briefly in the moments before they were close enough so she could hear their every word. 

"I know she's not the best parent, but she's still your mother. You should address her as such." That said, Kara understood exactly why he was upset, and she wasn't honestly sure how she'd treat her mother if she was in his situation. 

"Alright, Leonore. What do you want us to do? If it's just Smith, I can step back for a while."

Ternoc chuckled at that last one. "My dear Ardasa, royals in Hekaga don't just strut around the city as if we were members of the common rabble. No, the classes of the city are as much at war with each other as the city is every at war with its enemies. If you want to take a tour, you'll have to wait a little while for my guards to arrange safe passage, plan a route, and clean some things up." Once more, the Grand Prince took out a piece of paper and wrote something on it, and passed it to a courtier. He did the same thing several times, writing in silence. The sound of his pen was audible in the quiet chamber, and one could easily get the impression that his edicts carried great force, given the respect each of them was handled with.

"Afraid not. I'm not from around this city" Kos explained. "That said, I'm sure we can find you something if you like. There's usually places to eat along a major road in dracon cities. As for the catacombs, we probably need permission but can easily get in without it. If we are short on time, it's best that we just find our way in without going through the paperwork, so to speak. There's usually an entrance to the catacombs near a temple, particularly those temples with attached mausoleums or surface graveyards. We have a few of those graveyards too. I didn't meant to give the impression that there were absolutely none, just not many and they aren't very big."
