The Ninth Trial
Who: everyone
When: Day 18, starting just after dawn
Where: The Hermit's Tent, and all around
[This morning as the sun begins to pour through the train's windows, there's the tremor that signals a Trial.]
Come hither, Heroes. Prove thy worth. Or something like that!
[It's the same older man's voice from the sixth trial, and outside is the same fortune teller's stall. Today the front flap is lifted to show a normal interior -- there's a wooden table, carved with geometric patterns and painted in bright colours, lit by teal-coloured carved candles.
At the table sits a man of indeterminate age, somewhere between 30 and 60. He's wearing what appear to be monk's robes, teal with patterned trimming. In front of him is a crystal ball and a stack of bingo cards, along with a stand-up sign bearing the rules of this Trial.
Across the top in large font, it says:
Icebreaker Bingo
Good luck and have fun!]

[Shrug. There's no judgement to it. But he's clearly not in the market for love, and she doesn't think he comes off as the kind of person who'd have to consider politics...finances are a perfectly legitimate arrangement.]

[This is an incredibly funny statement and Naeva will never know why.]

[ He's going to ignore that part about him not liking opening up, thanks. ]

I don't believe you have a single subtle bone in your body. But it's your turn to name names.

Third, I am a Queen and have to produce heirs, I don't really have a choice in that, so I'm gonna pick to marry someone who'd at least help raise them.

[A beat.] But then again, we do get the best houses.

[She is joking back. But, she pauses, and considers the cards.]
Say, little brother...

[She gives it a second to sink in, to be fair...
and then TAKES OFF RUNNING.]
