Oh! Is that for me? Why....that was quite kind of you traveller...
......
...Is it poisoned?
Don't make that kind of face! I just......nobody would.....ugh....!
Don't laugh at me, child! I'll throw all of this hot tea on you!
......I do not expect kindness from any one traveller....but I'll accept this.
It would seem I have learned something new about the world too.
My time is not over yet, I see.
