Editing Hospitality (section)

===Origins===
For millennia, it was essential that travelers be able to stop over in strangers' houses, lest they die in the wilderness.<ref name=":2">“That’s pizza. Pepperoni and onion. The coke might have gotten a little flat since we poured it. You took a few hours to wake up. I was almost ''worried''.”<br>[...]<br>Laird interrupted, “-I don’t need an explanation. I know what shot shells are. You’re offering hospitality with one hand and threatening to shoot me with the other?”<br><br>It was Maggie who spoke up, “The tried-and-true rules have a firm grounding in ''history'', officer Behaim. The roads were dangerous at night, food was hard to come by. You couldn’t turn away someone at your door, and you couldn’t refuse a guest amenities, or you were sentencing them to death. You couldn’t abuse hospitality given for the same reason, because you’d be sentencing the ''next'' guy to death. But, all that said, nobody’s going to begrudge a man, a peasant, or a king their right to keep a weapon on hand if they know their guest is a potential threat.” - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/05/29 Excerpt] from [[Void 7.1]]</ref><ref name="1.3e1">“I didn’t even remember back then, but the look on his face told me there was something. Around the time we’d first met, he’d had me promise him he’d be safe from any harm at my hands or the hands of my guests. I hadn’t thought we’d have a long-term friendship, then. I’d needed him for one thing. But it was enough, and it still counted, later.”<br>[...]<br>“I realized he’d been trying to corner me or pull something. I told him to leave. Angrier than I had been. He was, and I have to imagine he still is stubborn. I pushed the table, enough to force him to take that one step toward the door. He did, and he stepped on broken glass.”<br><br>“That was enough?” Avery asked.<br><br>“Yes. Especially considering the ways of the spirits, Others, and old traditions. For much of human history, hospitality and respecting one’s guests was one of the most important things. Turning away a traveler in need could kill them. Disrespecting a guest or host could be disastrous.”<br>[...]<br>“When did all of this happen?” Lucy asked.<br><br>“A decade ago.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/05/16 Excerpt] from [[Lost for Words 1.3]]</ref>
