Before long, the alleyways emptied into a wide road lined by establishments marked with signs, most of which still had candlelight within. One in particular caught the stranger’s attention: a squat, two-story building filled with light, out of which poured sounds of merriment. The painted sign in front of it proclaimed “BUKING STALION” in bold letters over a carved horse. The stranger skulked backwards into the darkness of the side street, watching the tavern’s door. A woman stood outside, dressed in simple clothing. She spoke something to most men who passed her which did not catch the stranger’s ears, but he guessed it must have been a grave insult, for most men spat upon her, laughed, or shouted.
