[Alcarillo]

The server had noticed Alcarillo, and dropping her cleaning rag on an unoccupied table approached. Alcarillo hoped that he had not interrupted her task of cleaning the tables. She suggested some bread and Shire cheese to him. Alcarillo paused for a moment to consider the choices the smiling server had suggested. Ginger, as the server had introduced herself, had specifically named Shire cheese. Alcarillo was never very fond of cheese, but while abroad he should take every opportunity he had to taste the foods of other peoples, even foods he normally disliked at home.

" I am Alcarillo Nession, from Harlindon." he introduced himself, "As for my drink, I was hoping that you might have some wine in stock. I prefer white wine, but at the moment any sort of wine will quench my thirst. I am rather hungry, so I will try some of that cheese you speak of, with Cook's mustard. Bread, too, please." He paused again to reconsider his order, "That's all, thank you." He drew his cloak about himself a bit tighter, not for warmth, but to conceal a bit of his armor. At least I did not wear my helm, he thought. He did not like to attract too much attention.
