Indeed, the chefs here at the Bismarck are some of the finest in the city...although I'm sure it doesn't come close to the delectable treats one such as yourself must be used to.

"We see plenty of those come through, although rarely as well dressed and pretty as yourself. Is that why you have your intimidating looking friend here with you? A bodyguard to keep your riches safe from the city's gallery of rogues?
