Introduction of King Aetis and the Return of Argus IV
Jason's new friends introduced him to King Aetis, described as their grandfather and the "devious king of Kulkus." The narrative highlights a "switcheroo" where Argus IV and his brothers returned to Kulkus. King Aetis delivers a speech criticizing their failed journey, asserting his initial judgment was correct and they were unprepared for the dangers.
The Rules of Hospitality
King Aetis is then introduced to Jason, who is technically already his guest. This invokes the "rules of hospitality," which dictate that King Aetis cannot kill Jason without cause. More importantly, he cannot even inquire about Jason's purpose until he has provided food and shelter to him and his crew.
Dinner and Jason's Revelation
King Aetis "begrudgingly invites them all for dinner" to adhere to the rules of hospitality. The rules stipulate that a host cannot ask a guest about their origins or purpose before providing care. Only after everyone was seated at the dinner table did Jason reveal the true reason for his presence in Kulkus.
