"This is the accommodation you've arranged for me?"
After the meeting, Alexis White and the others had the rare occasion of treating Peter Brown to a meal, a courtesy that past resident village leaders had never enjoyed.
Although there weren't many dishes, the wild game spread across the table was still quite impressive.
Everyone was also drinking wine, which was made from wild fruits by the villagers themselves. It was of medium alcohol content, but the portions were generous, served in large bowls that everyone held as they drank.
Peter Brown's physical condition meant that he wasn't at all afraid of drinking. Any effects of the alcohol that entered his body were naturally expelled.
