Summary
Your mind wanders further as you walk through the town. People are waving at you and asking you questions like "When are you going to fight the King?" and "What took you so long?", but you ignore them, instead going to the shop to get some supplies. You're out of salty broths yet again, despite getting 10 of them in the last town. The shopkeeper lets you have them for free. You force yourself to wave and smile politely as you leave.
