"Where are we?"
"You lost?"
You paused for a moment, then shook your head.
"You new to this city?"
"Oh, yes," you replied, relieved that you hadn't let
anything slip.
"Well, we're in the central of Bejing," the man said.
"Are you trying to get to anywhere?"
"No... but thanks for all the help anyway."
The man inclined his head and set off down the street again. Suddenly,
you see a small girl running towards you.
"Oh, thank goodness!" she said in a hushed voice, looking
frightened. "I thought - I thought I'd lost you!"
"I'm fine," you said exasperatedly. "I'm not a
child."
"Please, Your Highness - "
The girl claps a hand to her mouth in horror.
Your Highness? What did she mean by that?
Who are you, really?
"Where are we?" you asked, confused. The man stared at you
oddly.
