But, as ever, the woman was inscrutable. Returning her attention to Brandi's description of the distant city. In truth, while she had little real interest in matters of religion, it was a relief to have someone else lead the conversation. She filed away the information though, because her Master would no doubt want a full accounting when they finally returned home.<br/><br/>The information on Almada seemed reliable, not least because Felice was beginning to sense that Carla would already have contradicted her brother if he'd been merely spreading gossip. And, because in part she would otherwise have been inclined to tarry in Farum far longer than was strictly necessary, the predicted wind change did give Felice a good motivation to press on with her quest.<br/><br/>She was a little bit disappointed that Carla wouldn't be joining them in their repast, but the delicious smells coming from the kitchen did mollify her quite a bit. She waited politely, to see if there were any pre-meal rituals they adhered to and then, once she was sure she wouldn't break any taboos, began to enjoy her meal. The street-kid, Felice had been, would have devoured the humble food with gusto, but as an apprentice, she tried to be at least a little lady-like in her manners.<br/><br/>"It's really no bother," she assured her hosts, "In fact, I'd be happy to endure any kind of lecture, if it were accompanied by such splendid food, Carla!"
