Aalmon smiles "He keeps himself, which the Kingtroll seemed to think 
right so I am not going to argue"

Aalmon takes a cup of wine and walks over to the centaur, his brother 
skips ahead of him munching on grapes and speaks before Aalmon can open 
his mouth "Hello I am Baros, I'd be grateful if you could help my twin 
brother here onto the right path".

Aalmon nods at this "As my brother says, we would be most grateful if 
you would help us find our way to find Wilkairtha. Although there is 
food and drink to be had first." he finishes with a broad smile.
