- Caption: Later.
- Viviana: … That’s it, now you know the whole story.
- Ryker Buffin: Incredible!
- Ryker Buffin: How do you plan to stop Eldor?
- Viviana: If only we knew…
- Ryker Buffin: What would–
- Ilias: Excuse me for interrupting. But there’s still some time left before 7 o’clock. We should use it to buy groceries and a few other things.
- Ilias: Can you show us the way?
- Ryker Buffin: Sure!
- Viviana: Hmm… interesting.

Interesting title, or interesting response from the bookshelf when she pulled on it?
Breaking barriers?
Seven o’clock? Is there a curfew in place? Or some other reason for such a time limit?

That’s where you notice the author is German. Most grocery stores close early in Germany.
She finds a certain yellow book …
Wait what was Ryker gonna say before ilias interrupted him?
As one wolf once said:
“What, AGAIN?”
Did… they just spill their whole cover to a boy that has already risked having troubles with the police?

Hm. Is that a town or local thing? I lived in Munich and don’t recall everything closing at any particular hour. Maybe big cities are different?
He’s a keeper. Come on all, he’s making one hell of a sandwich.
@ Traveller:
The small town I come from in Canada the grocery store and the pharmacy both closed at 6pm especially during the winter when it got dark sooner. However, things like convience stores stayed open late.
Well, it depends on the federal state in Germany. Most changed the Law to allow the shops to open longer in 2006 (before the Football World Cup in Germany) but before this, Shops closing at 8 o’clock and further in the past even at 7 o’clock was quite normal.
But I kinda doubt, that Novil’s intention was, to show us the opening hours in Gaia’s grocery stores. To me, it seems like Ilias tried to stop the conversation.
@ Regis Earsquake:
Nah, while he looks vaguely alarmed, he’s looking at what’s presumably a pocket watch when he interrupts Ryker.
I don’t know what seems so weird about shops having limited opening hours in what’s after all a semi-medieval setting.
I just had to laugh when I saw them in what is very nearly a modern grocery store. It’s like they stopped for a sub at the local grocery on their way to the axe and dagger store.
So you spill your cover to a kid you just met today… Wow… this kingdom is in such good hands… Total queen material, no one will ever abuse that trust. That was sarcasm, just so we’re clear.
How have the shadowdancers lasted so long with her as a leader?
@ Traveller:
Well, it depends. Most smaller shops close between 6pm and 8pm, and in Bavaria even most lager stores close at 8pm while in Baden-Württemberg supermarkets stay open until 10pm. Those are pretty generel rules, though – there have been exception throughout the country.
@ Malin:
Oh wow, I think I know what are you about. Er… comrade? Dunno what to say.

I agree completely, Vivi,…
That submarine sandwich looks scrumptious!
