You look the way he is looking, letting a silence hang over the two of you for several moments. Finally you say, "I'm sorry you've been having such hard times. And I wish I could do more for you."
"Thank you," he replies softly.
"But I am going to have to make my way up there. I have no other choice, regardless of the dangers that await me. You do not have to aid me in that quest - I will not be a nuisance."
"That, you may do."
"I suppose I'll see for myself soon enough what the Abbot is."
"Indeed." The burgomaster continues walking, and you follow. "Now, about the wine... what details did you hear from the innkeeper in Vallaki?"
"Oh, I don't know a lot," you admit. "Shipments are weeks late there, too. Dwindling supplies, I guess."
"Hmm. Are you going to continue with your personal business right now, or could you deal with the issue today? If you make a decision that requires you to stay here overnight, you can sleep in my home... Being that you appear to be a holy woman, I would much prefer that over you taking your chances with that cursed Abbey."
"I will think about it," you say. "And yes, I am a cleric of Kossuth, Lord of Flames."
"You may wish to check out the blessed pool," he says. "It gifts us fresh water throughout the year. Next to the pool our ancestors built a shrine to the Morninglord in a gazebo. It's known as the Shrine of the White Sun. Now if you will excuse me, I have serious problems to attend to. You have enough on your plate already. You will find me in my cottage if you need anything else, it's the one closest to the outer gate."
"One more thing - is there anywhere I can buy or sell materials and travel equipment?"
"I'm afraid not," he says. "Speak to Calver, in brick house just south of the shrine. He may have supplies if you need them, but they might not be as many as you need."
"May your flame soon burn brighter, sir," you reply.
Dmitri nods. "Until we meet again, miss."
It's the afternoon. There is time in the day to complete one task, whether it be the wine, or finding your sister somewhere in that monastery.
Suggestions:
>You are here for one thing: to find your sister. (Go to the Abbey of Saint Markovia now, and face its dangers.)
>Find Calver to buy and sell equipment.
>You've promised to fix the wine situation to two people now; that's what you will do today. (Travel to the Wizard of Wines.)
>Investigate the Shrine of the White Sun.

>Challenge the burgomaster's unwillingness to allow travelers into Krezk.
