average day... IN 1492!

You stop by the edge of the road to rest. people pass you by but you pay no mind. The rest feels pointless though so you brush the dust off and get ready to hike again. no sooner that you get started, you hear a noise

Its a horse drawn carriage! wow you always wanted to see one up close. the cart is being pulled by a small old man. As you stop to admire this sight the man realizes you are staring. if you don't start small talk, you'll be in a giant wave of awkwardness.

do you...
