Fred's Question

The naked maiden, who had told Fred that her name was Astra [the two hadn't previously met in this particular story branch], looked confused. "Is it time for what?" she said.

"Is it time for sexual nudity?"

Astra raised an eyebrow. "Hardly. So are you going to strip off and join me and the others in the nude pool, or not?"

"Why is there a nude pool in the Southern Caves? It's hardly the sort of thing that I would have expected to find in the dragon's domain."

"Even the dragon's servants have to have some rest and recreation, and a nude pool is one of the facilities that he's provided for that."

"Are you telling me that you're a servant of the dragon?! I'm here to slay him."

"I am, but not through choice...

1. "You see, he's holding my two younger sisters hostage."
2. "He has laid a geas upon me. If I disobey any of his orders or try to leave the caves, then its curse will take effect." [See Wikipedia for what a geas is.]
