With the goods loaded, Karl was ready to leave for their next destination, but it seemed too fast to be in and out of town. They should at least look around at a few other spots, and not just stop in at one merchant and bolt like they were running from something.
So Karl didn't turn Thor directly around, he made a small loop through the surrounding streets to go by a fish and chips vendor and grab a bite to eat. They weren't hungry yet, but it would be the usual thing for a travelling merchant to do, even if they were in a hurry.
The vendor was happy to make an early morning sale just as he was getting the fryers heated for the day, and Karl left with plenty of food for the day, wrapped in crudely made straw paper.
It smelled delicious, and they had two healers with them, so once Karl had taste tested it for poison, everyone started a second breakfast.
