547 Reprieve

"A what?" the soldier asked, breaking free from his shock.

"Oh, sorry. A slingshot. Do you have any slingshots heading back to the realm entrance?" Lex reiterated, recalling the name of the ride he took to the pagoda in the first place.

"Oh yes, of course. There will be a ride back in about 30 minutes that you can take. Would you uhh… would you like some clothes while you wait?"

"Sure, if you have any to spare I'll take them."

"Follow me, I'm sure I can find you something. By the way, there's a voluntary questionnaire for anyone who enters the pagoda. Would you be willing to go through it? Like I said, it's voluntary, so there's no obligation to do so. But we're collecting information to compile a pagoda guide book. If you go through the questionnaire, you become eligible to receive a free copy of the guide once it's published."
