Sokni, Iseabaal, and the Things. And good to see you again, Apil. Has the Minister of Commerce been in any good ceremonial parades lately? I've been trying to stay clean from all of those fire-breathing idols. Yep, it took a long time to get rid of some of those smells. That llama stuff from the hold of that cargo ship really stuck to me for a long time.

I think you're biting your tongue about the fish taste comments. I can't believe you go after all of those things just for the sport of it. And I know that a fresh salmon on the west coast tastes a lot different than one on the east coast of the new world, as just one fer instance.

Yeah, this lotus scent is good for covering up a lot of things. But it smells even better when we're clean and nothing to cover [up]. Ishtar has some great stuff in her other tents, too, and the lotus bath is just one sample of what I mean.

But I know you Apil, and you sure do clean up nice [if not very often]. You would really enjoy a lotus bath. A lot of people would probably not recognize you here in the Kash Bowl.

Cheers. It really is good to see you again.

And Iseabaal, I hope you didn't take any insult from my earlier comment about the Celts. And don't let any of these strange ruffians here steal your heart and mistreat it. All of you, be sure to visit Ishtar for a refreshing lotus bath. See, Ishtar, I told you this bar wasn't such a bad place.
