Well, he won't tell anybody.

"Where are you going to sleep?" Cam asks. "Do I like, buy you a room in one of these places, or...?"

"That'd probably be most convenient. I've been napping a little once people run out of questions for me and before they run out of orders for you but I won't be able to get away with just that for the whole trip."

"Do you have a preference which of these ones we stay at?"

"Not particularly. They'll all have beds and the debt's about the same."

"Next one, maybe, unless you have reason to expect one soon after to have a baby so I can occupy myself investigating the baby."

"I don't know if any of these have babies so next one sounds good."

"Cool."

Next court. Does the next court like spicy things? Cam is in the mood to make spicy things. And little mochi ice creams in fun flavors for anyone who is startled by a spicy thing.

They're startled by spicy things! Some of them come back for more anyway. If he makes the things spicy enough the debt system actually thinks that he has harmed them, though it takes a lot of spice to get there and the ice creams pay it back.

Cam does not surprise anyone with an entire pickled habanero but he does apologize to the people who are dismayed by wasabi tuna poke.

What, they don't mind, this is a fascinating experience and they didn't even have to pay for it!

...Cam waves the certificates he has been paid for wasabi tuna poke.

Maybe they will need to have two words for 'pay' at some point or something.

Maybe! Though Cam's native language uses 'pay' both neutrally for currency and also metaphorically for e.g. revenge.

This inspires some curiosity about Cam's native society.

Well, it's very different and completely inaccessible at. Uh. This time.

Luckily they don't badger him for more of an explanation since it'd be expensive and mean they got less food.

Who wants CUPCAKE POPS?

Faeries!!

And at some point he'll buy Econ Faery a hotel room and ask if there's a baby here by any chance.

They have a kid who's knee height and talking?

Not a baby, but still interesting! Can he meet the kid?

Uh, typically people are pretty hesitant about that because it's easy to trip up kids into making mistakes that indebt them.

"Is there some kind of best practices about that I should know if I do ever meet a kid? Or if necessary can we do that thing with the crystals - how long does that take? - and I'll take certificates for it?"

"If you intend to transfer any debt that results we can do that, yes. It doesn't take long."
