The entire situation still felt rather odd to both of them, but Kai and Caleb were soothed by the warm welcome and subconsciously decided to just go with the flow and see where all this was headed. They hadn't heard anyone following them all day, they could afford to accept these people's hospitality.
After dressing themselves in simple the simple cotton peasant clothing they been offered, they felt refreshed and rejuvenated, infused with a fresh energy. Kai's satchel was still dirty however, so he asked if perchance they might have a replacement. After covertly switching the artifact from his old satchel to the new, they were ready for whatever came next.
Dalia kept smiling and being nothing but polite to them as she led them across the massive pavilion once again. The workers weren't afforded the same courtesy however, they received shouts and admonitions aplenty.
As they reached yet another side of the large space, Dalia pointed to a pair of doors and said, "OK, this is where I have to leave you; make sure to come back later and visit!"
