With an indulgent smile, Esper asks the following questions one at time, leaving room for the child to answer them in between....

"How does Auntie treat you?"

"She's mean, pretty much like all adults."

"Do you like it here?"

"Beats being sick and on the streets, I guess."

"Does Auntie give you duties to tend to?"

"Sure we gotta clean."

"Does Auntie do anything you know she shouldn't?"

"Well, she threw away my pamphlet for the Katapeshi Circus: The Scantliest Circus On Golarion. There was this dancing girl in folded up part...."

Suddenly there's some sort of commotion outside and the boy rushes off with a bunch of other children to see what the matter is.

What's the inside crew do?

"They are these guys with big bent swords who get to stand around in the harem all day." says the boy excited by the prospect of being a eunuch when he grows up.

"I will answer that question truthfully if you answer my questions truthfully." Esper tells the child with a smile. "Doesn't that sound like fun?"

"Yeah." he says staring at Esper in pubescent fascination.

"Did someone say there was a harem girl here...?" Einarr asks peeking his head in the room...

"Is that your eunuch guard? He's a lot hairier than I imagined."

What's everyone else up to? The situation has escalated putting you on a timer.

"Wowza! A real harem girl!" exclaims a thirteen-year-old at Esper's (and to a lesser extent--Perrine and Tathane's) sudden appearance. "Do you have those sort of see-through baggy pants like in all the plays?"
