"Look, I, uhm. I can explain this to you some other time, if you want. But... You're going to need a place to stay and probably something to eat and drink, if you'd like. Most people live in a different part of the city. Would you like me to take you there?" Rawm had perked up at the mention of eating, and added a curious doggy noise at the end, as if he was trying to join in the conversation.
