"I know Lower Saxony, and a forest of that name, but no kingdom", he says slowly. "Tell me, what is the year?"

[intoaman]

He shrugs. "Ravens do not reckon these things. But men calls it 1330."

[a_rare_benedictine]

"Almost two hundred years past my own time", he says, wondering.

[intoaman]

"This place can be strange like that. People come from different places and different times." He shrugs. It's all magic, to complicated for him.

[a_rare_benedictine]

"So it would seem." He glances around, eyes full of interest. "Have you been long in this place?"

[intoaman]

He thinks, frowning. "Half a moon? Not very long. I haven't eaten so well. Ever!"

[a_rare_benedictine]

"That, my friend, is a great shame - but I'm glad you've had the opportunity now."

[intoaman]

He shrugs. "I'm not starving. There's always food to be found somewhere but here, it's just laying around. For anyone to eat. I don't even have to look."

[a_rare_benedictine]

"...but who prepares it?" he asks, giving the room another look around.

[intoaman]

"The rats something." He points to one of the very large rats, dressed and walking upright. "But mostly the magic bar makes it all on her own."

[a_rare_benedictine]

"The magic bar", Cadfael repeats slowly, staring at the rats. "That, I'm afraid, I'll have to see to believe."

[intoaman]

"I'll show you." He walks over to the bar and asks for a fizzy orange drink. Because he likes those. It appears from the bar, just like magic. "Try. it's nice! It has bubbles."

[a_rare_benedictine]

The old man lifts it and sniffs.

"...oranges? But there's something different, and not the bubbles..."

[intoaman]

"It's sweet, like nectar and honey but different."

[a_rare_benedictine]

Carefully - but out of a desire to know about it, not fear - he tastes the drink.

"...interesting. Not quite like honey, there's some other thing making the sweetness."

[intoaman]

"I don't know what it is. But I like it! And there's lots of different foods here."

[a_rare_benedictine]

"More than I would ever have imagined, I'm sure."

[intoaman]

"I don't even know what to ask for. Too many foods I don't know so I just wait to see what other people have that looks good."

[a_rare_benedictine]

"That seems as good a way to go about it as any", Cadfael says amiably. "After all, how could you know what may be out there, if you haven't seen it?"

[intoaman]

"My thoughts exactly. There's so much to learn about the world of men."

[a_rare_benedictine]

"Will this be your shape from now on, then?"

[intoaman]

He shrugs and looks down. "I'm whatever shape my lady needs."

[a_rare_benedictine]

"A loyal servant", he says gently. "Or, perhaps, one given little choice?"

[intoaman]

"She saved my life. I owe her my service." He ducks his head again.

[a_rare_benedictine]

"And do you love her for it? Truly?"
