Andiri is sleeping in his bed, when he is awoken by the sound of children playing under his window. He tries to cover his ears with the pillow, but the children's laughter seeps through the barrier.
"GUARDS!!!"
Andiri belows for the guards stationed outside his room. Guard #1 enters his room, bowing.
"Round up all those noisy vermins and whip them all. Make sure everyone sees it. This will teach them to play near the palace again," Andiri commands.
It doesn't take long before there is silence from the ground below.
A servant enters the room, a cup of wine in his hand.
"Your drink, my lord" the servant offers to Andiri.
Andiri takes the cup of wine and drinks it in one swig.
"You have a guest, my lord," the servant informs Andiri.
"Who?"
"Tuffashana, my lord. He has been waiting in the great hall."
"You can tell that buffoon to wait. I will not be hurried just because that stupid snake is waiting," Andiri disgustedly tells the servant.
The servant gulps in fear, for he too fears Tuffashana, though he has no idea who he fears more between both men.
