I came from the fertile valley when I was conscripted. The king needed strong farmer's sons to fight in the war. I am very unhappy here in the cold, damp, rainy north. I miss my friends and my dog. I hope to go back to my father's farm when the war ends.
Of course! We soldiers always know the best Inns. But what will you give me for the information?  I do not know, sir. I am used to soldiers helping a guest out. Not in this realm, sir! You get nothing for nothing  I can give you my company and we can talk for a while? I'd prefer a gold piece but I suppose company will do. Tell me of the South! My home is there and I miss it gravely  The South is in an uproar I am afraid. Uproar? Quick, tell me! My family is there  The people have revolted against the King. They are trying to place a new one on the throne. Last name...Gigglesman. Do you know that family Ahhhh, this is the worst news! The man is a rogue and a scoundrel! Oh dear! Oh dear dear dear! The people seem to all support him. The King has been making horrible new laws I must go home immediately! And yet - if I desert my post my life will be forefeit! Do you want me to swap outfits with you? You can leave as a guest and I can be a soldier. By the time they find out, you will be gone.
