[QUOTE="Boddynock, post: 1981161, member: 21506"] Dawn found Alton up and finishing the last of his chores around the house. Not that he was up before his mother - Alon had given up trying to rise earlier than Talia. No matter how early he willed himself to wake, Talia was already up. This morning, as he sat down to break his fast, she smiled at him and said, "Eat up, love - I think you're in for a busy day." When Alton looked at her questioningly, she just smiled and poured him a steaming cup of tea. "Drink it while it's hot - it's your favourite, strawberry black." Just then, there was a knock at the door. When Talia opened it, Jory Greenborough, one of the older members of the militia, stood there. "Letter for you, lad," he said to Alton. "A letter? Who's it from?" "The Constable, boy, so jump to it lively!" "Thank you, Jory. I'll see you later at training." "Oh, aye, I'll be there - but I don't know if you'll see me." The old man grinned at the puzzled young halfling before tipping his cap to Talia and striding from the room. "Well, going to open it?" said Talia to her son. He stood, letter in hand, looking a lttle apprehensive, wondering just what this singular missive could mean. Mero had never written to him before. "Uh, yes, of course." He hastened to do so, but was not much enlightened by what he found inside. It read, "Alton Highlea, Be at the Silver Horn Tavern at midday. Mero, Constable of Amblestock." Midday - that gave him plenty of time to finish his work, and too much time to wonder just what was going on. He looked at his mother, who seemed to be enjoying his confusion. "What do you know about this?" "Me? How could I know anything? You haven't even told me what it says." And without waiting for him to reply, she waltzed from the kitchen, saying over her shoulder, "Well, I'm off to work now. Give your father a hand - you know he wants to deliver those cabinets this morning." So it was that, at a quarter to twelve, Alton set out for the Silver Horn, having put in a full morning of lugging and heaving, and only now, as he walked, with the leisure to say a swift, silent prayer to the Lady of the Woods. When he arrived, he smiled at Kiylea, who was just entering the tavern herself. [I]"Strange to see her here at this time of the day,"[/I] he thought to himself. Then, nodding at Jerran, who sat nearby glowering at him, Alton took a deep breath and stepped inside. [/QUOTE]
