Sorry! After the lull for the holidays, all my games decided to go into overdrive, it seems! I think I have mostly dug my way out though.

Red, tangled curls with flowers in them bobbed above the market stall table. The small polder packed away the few remaining jars of honey and packages of fruit, nut, and honey cakes into her backpack. She picked up a worn wooden shield and slung it on her back, her scimitar hanging at her waist, a sling at the other. Locals didn’t normally walk around Gravesford with weapons, but Eowyn lived out near the wode, and one didn’t exactly walk around Rend Forest unarmed.
The small polder, standing not even three feet tall, ducked between legs as she moved around those lingering in front of the Reluctant Pig. She waved when folk called her name, but most didn’t seem too keen on seeing the forest witch, making warding signs against her weird magics.
They liked her honey well enough, though. I was the best honey in town.
Eowyn went up to the bar. There was a strange, foreign woman there and -- was that a warbred? Eowyn stared at the big monster. She had only heard stories of them from her parents. He didn’t seem to be terrorizing the town, so she shrugged and paid him no mind, except to scamper up onto the stool between the two outsiders and rap her knuckles on the bar.
The woman behind the bar looked up and smiled.
“Eowyn Rosebud!” she greeted.
The little polder nodded, her red curls bobbing. A twig fell from her hair and she absently brushed it to the floor. She pulled a jar of honey out and put it on the bar and then carefully slid a wrapped package of the honey cakes next to it.
“Brilliant!” Giselle said.
“Pinna and the kids will love this.” She plated up the treats, but put the honey under the jar.
“The usual then?”
Eowyn nodded, never saying a word, her green eyes bright in the light of the hearthfire.
“Want a room for the night? Supposed to get a bit chilly.”
Eowyn shook her head. She made a gesture with her hands.
“Well, just don’t let Carroc catch you. Jago might not mind you sleeping behind his forge, but Carroc will make a fuss about vagrants and such and have his folk run you off.”
Eowyn rolled her green eyes and made a rude gesture involving her thumb and nose. Giselle just laughed.
Eowyn plopped down on the stool to wait. It put her eyes at bar level, so not exactly a practical position for eating, but more comfortable. She looked up at the two strangers on either side of her. Or up and up and up in the case of the warbred. She studied the dark woman’s tattoos, reaching out and tracing one with her finger. Then she poked the warbred in the arm before she leaned in and smelled him. Then she licked his arm. She pulled a face and stuck her tongue out, wiping it with her dirty hand as her meal arrived.
“Don’t mind Eowyn,” Giselle said to Orin.
“I don’t doubt most folk around here ain’t seen one of your kind before.”
Eowyn perked up at the arrival of her food and hopped to her feet on the stool. The plate of mushroom, potatoe, and vegetable stew steamed in the warm tavern air, beside it a thick crust of bread and fresh butter with her honey lathered on it. Eowyn frowned a bit and poked a bit of the meat that floated in the stew.
“Don’t worry, hon,” Giselle said.
“One of our goats broke his leg, had to be put down. Didn’t want to waste it.”
Eowyn considered and then nodded, grabbing up the overly large spoon to sloppily scoop stew into her hungry tummy. It tasted much better than warbred.
