As Julius and his 'date' Yuri continued to scour the Arcadian markets, Yuri in particular seemed to be drawn to one stall.

As Julius followed after the young woman, he could see a sort of glass gars filled with a viscous yellowish substance.

The seller was an older Ephyran woman with a lined face and sharp eye, not seeming to care about the rumors running about as she spoke.

"So, the conquering king comes to my petty stall for honey?"

Her provocation caused him to raise an eyebrow, but smiled nonetheless at her bluntness.

"I've been told Ephyran honey is some of the best."

Inclining his head a little in respect,

"We'd like to sample some if you don't mind?"

The woman was somewhat take aback by his own demenour, but nodded herself and with a pair of wooden scoops took out just a tiny bit from one of her jars before holding them out to the pair.

Yuri accepted the spoon and without hesitation popped it into her mouth.
