[QUOTE="rgoodbb, post: 7330256, member: 6801229"] [I]Knock, knock, knock.[/I] He didn’t want to open his eyes. The morning sun always seared through the attic window at around this time and so he pulled the blanket further over his head to shield from the glare. He really must do something about that. [I]Knock, knock, knock.[/I] “Oh, go away.” His head hurt. He’d sang and danced and then wowed the crowds with such tall tales. He had drank, [I]oh he had drank[/I], and talked and cajoled until the early hours, and in his mind, it was still far too early in the day for disturbances. [I]Knock, knock, knock. Knock, knock, knock. Knock, knock, knock.[/I] The halfling swung his still booted feat out of bed in an irritated sweep, realising that the boots were all he was wearing, he found a dressing gown and wrapped himself up. And so, with the tender head of an angry bear, he thudded with extra heated force towards the round-topped door. “What?” He said bluntly to the door. “I’m locked out and my clothes are in there.” Came back a young woman’s voice. “You…...Wha...” Od desperately thought back. Sifting through the numerous ales and wines and spiced ciders. There was a girl. A woman really but young and doey-eyed towards him. She too was a Hin, he remembered. A halfling. She had become captivated by his words and hung upon every one of them. He unlocked the latch on the door and she burst in diving for the bed, arms covering as much of her flesh as they could. “Oh….Uhm…I….” Od began. “You getting back in or what?” “Well, as you put it that way……” [I]Knock, knock, knock.[/I] “Not now!” [I]Knock, knock, knock.[/I] “I said n...” “Oh let her in. It’s only me sister. You remember [I]her [/I]don’t you?” “Your sis….uhm…..of course.” Od returned to the door, unlatched it and another beautiful curly carrot-haired maiden ran to the bed. Od was seriously starting to regret not remembering much from the night before. He locked the door again and was about to return when implausibly, a third knock came. He opened the door rapidly and was disappointed when a bearded courier handed him a letter. Weirdly, [I]because nothing at this point was weird at all[/I], Od instinctively knew what was in the letter. He knew that it was his brother Ivan pleading for his help because mother had had gone mad and locked father in the basement. He knew he should pack his things. He knew he should go on this long adventure. “Get in. I’ve ordered a cooked breakfast……for an hour’s time…..” Od unsurprisingly decided to remain in his room and did not go on his adventure. Life was great. ------------------------------------------------------------------ “What’s wrong with him?” asked Xena. “He appears to be in some sort of dream state.” replied jeli. “Oh my.
