"Some, yes. We managed, but we were clearly foreigners."
Which is fine. They were, after all, and it didn't end up impeding the important things.
"--But Bahorel, you've left out the most important part." All the rest can wait, for all that some of it's interesting, and other parts are things Prouvaire will no doubt be interested in. "The king there, the sorcerer, he was overthrown. By the people. They joined themselves together and rose up. There was an old law about when a tyrant might be declared unjust beyond what his subjects would support, and they made it their banner and their sword; they rose up, and he quailed, and his power was broken. When we left they were setting up a new government. A republic, Prouvaire. Not another tyrant, not the next-strongest sorcerer, but a real new government of the people. New institutions, the dawn of a new age there."
Now it's his turn to be glowing. And who in this room isn't, at a prospect like that?
