"This way." Back downstairs, then a table in the corner. A pad pops up out of the middle with a menu on it.

Anything interesting and, ah, cheap? He doesn't want to spend too much of Andronikos' money.

Everything is local, so probably everything is somewhat interesting. Cheap is a criteria he'll have to work a little harder to fit. Those discreet little numbers are presumably prices.

Yyyeah he'll try for the cheapest thing there probably.

When he inputs his selection, the menu folds back down. Shortly the slot reopens, and his drink emerges, a steaming purple concoction.

...he tries it...

It's got sort of a citrus/vinegar thing going on.

Does it have, like, food nutrients?

Possibly? There's not exactly a chemical composition breakdown.

Well if it was in the food section it was presumably food. How does he pay?

There's a credit chit shaped slot. Probably that.

Okay he can use that.

Anything else he wants to do while he's finishing his probably-tea?

Not unless there's anything interesting to be noticed.

Maybe those two Voss who just came in? Their robes look important. And they seem to be walking towards his corner.

...okay, then, he'll wait.

Annnnd- yep, they're coming right over to him.

"Outsider. You were the one who attempted to cross the bridge today?"

"That would be me, yes," he says, and very discreetly looks for exits.

None accessible.

"How long ago did you arrive on this planet?"

"Today, actually."

"And yet no transports from orbit have landed."

"That's the case, yes."

"You will come with us. Now."

He stands up easily. "As you will."

They lead him out of the teahouse. Two Voss commandos are waiting outside, they fall in behind as the group travels back towards the marketplace.
