Snippet #8300

The Khan is impressed by the things the strange woman has brought before him. He is a little confused when she offers him a cup of the strange liquid. He calls over Zhorav the leader the the Thyns and tells him to take a sip of the strange liquid. Zhorav takes the drink and sips from it. "It is good my Khan," Zhorav responds, "weak compared to Orin's mead but good." The Khan takes the cup and drinks deeply from it. He enjoys the sweet taste of the beverage. He smiles and hands the cup back to the woman. He turns to his men and shouts, "They are touched by Orin's wisdom. May they live long and when their time comes may Lady Cryx smile upon them." His men all drop to their keens and shout, "Seyla." He turns back to the strange woman and says, "(pointing to himself) I am the Khan. (lowering his hand) May Orin protect you and Lady Cryx grant long life. (smiles) And let Gora grant you his sense of adventure, but not his mischief."
