"Hello?"  you hear, above you.  "Sorry," you mutter, "Never had do nice klah."  K'lanin smiles, "It's my families' secret recipe."  "How do you make it?" you say.  K'lanin smile fades away a bit, and then brightens, "Did I mention it was a secret recipe?"   You blush slightly.  "Well," your host says, "Geteth is hungrey, so I gotta go feed 'im."  You nod, and walk back the way you came.
