As you finish your meal, you hear singing coming from one of the vardos, “I am a true born Irishman, a Traveller am I / My home, the road, no fixed abode, I'll travel till I die...” (Right click here to open the song in a new window)

"Well," you say, laying the bare bone back on the plate. "I guess I owe Roisin an apology then. Any final words of advice?" You give him a bemused half-smile, and stand—preparing to walk towards the vardo Roisin ran to.

Micaja takes your plate, and tosses the bone into the fire. “Always burn the bones when you're finished. It sends them to the Valley of Pnath, to honor them and allow the soul a final rest. Otherwise, they are dishonorably sent to the Valley of Achor, their name removed from the Book of Life.” He smiles at you and teases as he nods toward the vardo. “Just don't say anything stupid.”

You shake your head, equal parts amused and annoyed, before heading toward Roisin's vardo.

It's dark inside her vardo, as you lift your hand to knock on the blue door.
