A short while later, you’re back at Cape Odessa, entering your hotel room. $!{roommate_name} jumps up once you step inside, quickly throwing aside the magazine ${roommate_he_she} was reading. 

“Hi $!{player_first_name}! You look amazing. What was the $!{royal_title} like?”

During your ride back from the palace, you had a lot of time to think about your interaction with ${royal_him_her_them}. 
    
What was your first impression of $!{royal_title} $!{royal_first_name}?

"No matter how you feel, you should at least get bonus points for being the first one to meet ${royal_him_her_them}. You're already ahead of the curve," $!{roommate_name} points out. 
    
"I guess," you say, your next thought cut off when your stomach growls. In all the excitement and meetings, you forgot that you've barely ate anything all day.

"Guess that's our cue to order room service," $!{roommate_name} chuckles, reaching for the menu booklet on the bedside table.
