"What act?" It was safe to say, I was utterly confused.
"Are you not the one who asked her for some meat?" he said.
They might have misunderstood me. So I tried to correct him. "I think you are mistaken. We asked for a place where we could find meat."
"You mean edible meat, correct?"
What other kind of meat could I have meant?
"Yes?" Now, I was even more confused.
He stared at me for a minute, scratched his head, and became excited a little. "Oh! Excuse my rudeness in that case. There aren't any places where you can buy meat in Alfeim. I had the wrong idea about you." He acted politely and then called the waitress whom I had asked.
He said something to her and she apologized. I was quite dumbfounded. What was going on?
Is this some kind of elaborate play or something?
Maybe the elves fancied stuff like this?
