"Very well, Fritjof. I am Tomas, and I challenge you, and our other companions, to accompany me for a night of drunken revelry in the glorious skycity of Adeinia! If at the end of this night, you still believe there is nothing of value to be found here, in one of the only bastions of magical might in the lands... after all the city still flies, does it not?... then perhaps I will agree with you, and we can depart this forsaken place for better lands.
Besides, I don't think I've seen as diverse a group as ours since the last bazaar past through here nearly a decade ago. I can't pass up the chance to get to know you all, and what brought you here!"
Although Tomas is only proposing to go drinking, he delivers it as a showman might introduce the greatest show in the world, but with a hint of wry sarcasm hidden thinly underneath his feigned enthusiasm.
