S2 E6: Crisp and Confrontation

The episode opens with Eight and Rou leaving the arena after the fight between Renny and Arthas. The competition lasted several hours and it is now mid-afternoon. The atmosphere of Azarra is very festival-like - vendors selling fried food, games, friendly competitions, etc. Eight questions a local about what to do, and he suggests they go check out a local crisp vendor. She is an older woman, but they are warned not to call her “granny”.

Rou and Eight go and find the crisp vendor, a dwarf with dark hair and a scarf covering her face to prevent her beard from getting into the crisp. They debate the merits of holding places in line, and whether or not the vat she uses is fueled by magic. Eight is disappointed to learn that the baking is not magic-based, and the dwarf comments magic users are lazy.

They grab some crisp, including two that they save for Arthas, and then they head to the docks where the airships are. While they sit at the docks, Thomas and his lackeys show up. They tell Rou he needs to be out of the city in two days because he is not welcome. Rou and Eight, wanting to regain their previous happy moods, head off to find the pie-eating competition.
