Slightly taken by the upfrontness of the stranger, I take a moment to collect myself before cracking a smile and opening my arms to the gentleman.
“All three!” I say with a grin from ear to ear as I admire his lavish robes. “I come from my homeland in search of rebirth. I come to rediscover who I truly am in this world.”
I take a step towards the kind man. “But first, tell me friend.” I say with a brief pause. “Where could a man such as myself find something to eat? As much as I’ve enjoyed the salted and dried fish we ate on our journey here, I could use something fresh. I haven’t had a proper meal in days and the smells coming from those shops over there aren’t doing me any favors.”
