Ah, yes! ...I must say, the name of that one has annoyed me for quite a while.

[While he might never forget the context of the tune and how it is relevant to him, certain things- minor things- such as the name and the origin of it are all but lost. And have been for a while, actually. One of the lesser losses of the passage of so much time.

And while such a small annoyance would certainly not be even worth mentioning were there not a sudden wall of tension between them, now seems a perfectly acceptable time to mention it, even as the village closes in and soon, they will be about a much more important line of inquiry.

I'd estimate that the population of that village is in the low hundreds.

[Which would mean that information gathering may take quite a while.]
