[Prophet]

C I'm kinda curious about Vallurvo, since he's here instead of his father.

"Now I wish to meet with Prince Vallurvo as soon as possible." The bearded man nods.

"I shall personally question him if he is inclined too." And so he is off, leaving you to examine the bedding of the chamber you're given.

Dark wood, fashionably carved. Layers of linen for your back, and a thick fur blanket for the covering. A fine, luxurious even, bed for a guest of your magnitude.

Some time later, you're led by the bearded steward to Prince Vallurvo's chamber, and... he seems a bit taller than last time you've seen him. Definitely wears his hair long and proper, instead of keeping it short. Perhaps the years have hammered into him some propriety?

And then welcomes you thusly:

"Greetings, King Cyrus." He says, standing up from his seat and lifting the chalice heavy with dark red alcohol towards you. "Fancy a drink? I had three myself, their grain-brew is of highest quality!"

A) "I am here to talk with you."
B) "I am here to talk with you, and for that, I need you to stop drinking at once."
C) "Actually, I am a bit parched, thank you."

After checking the genealogical records, I have confirmed that we are not his mom.

"I am here to talk with you." Prince Vallurvo scoffs and then takes another sip.

"A conversation! With such pleasant company like mine? Why, even more reasons for you to have a drink, King Cyrus." And another sip. Then, he considers something briefly, and puts the chalice down.

"If it is about my father, he is ill. Gravely ill. After all, he's seen fifty winters already. Old age weakens both body and soul, and his has been fragile for years now. Perhaps the next winter will see him dead. That's what our healers, and even our Druids, believe... and then I will be the King of Ingar." He reaches for the chalice, then reconsiders, and glances at you from the side.

"What else do you wish to talk about?"

A) "I want to offer my hands of friendship!"
B) "Would you be interested in trade agreement with Surinthomus?"
C) "What sort of intriguing snippets you've heard about Herykk's Seating?"
D) "You seem rather calm about what's going to happen 'next winter'."
E) "Actually, that's all I wanted to talk about, thank you."

"I want to offer my hands of friendship!" Vallurvo looks at you, from head to toes, and doesn't respond immediately.

He slowly turns to you, approaches, and reaches with his hands to grab yours, shaking both hands at once, parallel - and thus, in agreement.

"And I accept your friendship. Let there be no hostility between our kingdoms and our families." He says, and grins.

"A drink to toast our newfound friendship, then?"

A) "Would you be interested in trade agreement with Surinthomus?"
B) "What sort of intriguing snippets you've heard about Herykk's Seating?"
C) "Yes! Let us drink!"
D) "You seem rather calm about what's going to happen 'next winter'."
E) "Actually, that's all I wanted to talk about, thank you."

You agree to a drink. Vallurvo grins and fishes behind the bed for another chalice - no doubt prepared and waiting since he heard you're coming.

"I knew it!" He pours some of the grain-brew into the empty chalice and hands it to you.

"To the spirits, and your health!" You toast your newly-forged relationship, and take a sip.

The grain-brew, you find the hard way, is undiluted, and aged. You're no stranger to fruit or grain beverages but this? This burns down your throat and then turns your stomach into a furnace, for a while. Vallurvo takes a sip himself, and then sets both chalices on the table.

"Now, now we can talk. Speak to me, Cyrus!"

A) "What sort of intriguing snippets you've heard about Herykk's Seating?"
B) "You seem rather calm about what's going to happen 'next winter'."
C) "Actually, that's all I wanted to talk about, thank you."
D) "Would you be interested in trade agreement with Surinthomus?"
E) "You ingest undiluted and aged spirits, this is rather unwise, and unorthodox."
