[Młynar finds himself intrigued by the strange woman. She’s not like many of the knights he had known back on Terra. She was perceptive, intelligent and thoughtful throughout the conversation.

You flatter me- though I suppose I did somewhat call upon it. I don’t doubt that you’ll be doing it just as effectively with just a few lessons. It’s a simple enough method, after all.

Still, are things truly so dire here? I thought that a peaceful place like this would be prosperous and well-stocked with good food.
[After all, people to pursue other passions like the culinary arts when they don’t fear for their lives. The fact that things weren’t so stable told Młynar that things weren’t as ideal as they seemed at a surface level.]
