[center][h3] Part 2 : The Walk[/h3][/center]

During the journey to Knossos, Flalondos remained relatively silent, althogh he did ask a few more questions to Olliver. Such as 
'Where do you come from?', 'What is it like there?' and 'Do you have any hobbies'.

For the first 2 questions Olliver answered evasively with answers 'Far away' and 'not very interesting, what is Knossos like?'.
Through this line of questioning he found out that Knossos was a bustling place of commerce, and religous activity, aswell as the seat of the government. 




 However for the last question Falandos asked he actually had an answer, and due to his feeling like he could honestly answer a question, Olliver slipped up

"I build miniature ships, they are kind of fun to build, especially in bottles"

Falindos pounced on the new word, and too late did Olliver realize that he had let something slip, he tried to change the topic but Falindos wouldn't let him.

"What is a bottle? Is it a vessel of some sort?"

"It is a vessel for carrying fluid, it is transparent, and hard, but brittle, and can shatter"

"What is it made of? Clay? Stone?"
Olliver knew enough about Falindos by now that he knew that attempting to avoid giving an answer wouldn't work

"Glass, which is made from melting sand. And no, i don't know how exactly it works, or how to do it myself, so please don't ask."

Falindos deflated slightly and was silent for the rest of the long walk to Knossos.

The walk was beautiful however as it was through a forest, with many different foliage, and some animals and birds moving around
