The smells of cooking breakfast and the rousing of a small town and inn floated slowly to the upper floor of the Sawtooth Inn where our adventurers rested for the evening. Outside, citizens began clearing and cleaning the tables from last night’s mini-festival. The tables and chairs were moved into the town hall, and the bonfire remnants cleared from the green. Life appeared about to resume normalcy.

Sayine snored softly on the foot of Theremin’s bed, curled around the small sack that contained her precious treasure.

***

The soft creak of leather and clink of metal invaded Mindra’s sleep. In the corner of the small bedroom in the little cottage where she had spent the night in the arms of the town’s guard captain, the beautiful half-elven Alene Belyr quietly pulled on functional clothes before starting on the splint armor hanging on the stand. The two elegant dresses lay pooled on the floor by the bed amidst a scattering of their smallclothes.

Mindra gets up and prepares for the day as well, a little unsure in the light of the morning how she is supposed to act after last night. This is all new to her. Taking her cue from Alene, she dresses in her adventuring gear and slips on her armor. The dress from last night is carefully folded and stowed in her pack.

Eventually Mindra runs out of trivial tasks to perform. Looking to her captain she takes a deep breath and walks up to her. She doesn't say anything, but just looks up at her face trying to read her mood. Mindra's own face is expectant, but it isn't clear from looking at her what she expects.

OOC: Of course Mindra can't just tell Alene what she expects, she is supposed to know. ;)

Alene paused to watch Mindra dress, blushing a bit as she was caught staring and going back to putting on her own armor. When Mindra approached, Alene smiled shyly. She took the elf’s hands.

“Thank you for last night. You were...amazing.” She shifted nervously, with a slight jangle of her armor. “I’m just a solder, so I’m...bad at this. You don’t have to feel in a rush to leave. I have to go up to the barracks for work. Feel free to use the cottage while you are in town. I don’t often sleep here,” she admitted. “But if you’d like me to return…”

Alene reached up to caress Mindra’s hair, and then leaned in to kiss her softly good morning.

OOC: Sorry for my laconism. I've been traveling for work for the last week, and will only come back in a week and a half. At least I can catch up during the week-end. Here is Theremin's response to the grandfather.


"My Lord, I understand your concern. No highborn should dilute their gods-given line by breeding with a commoner. Similarly, the goblins surely wanted to perform a wedding ceremony to access your grand daughter's title. I again pledge my loyalty to you, nobless oblige, and offer my assistance. Perhaps a noble wedding is preferable to one with a commoner."

------

Theremin slowly wakes, and pets Sayine tenderly so she awakens peacefully. "You know my dear, that bag is almost half your size. You can put it in my bag, and will have access to it at any time. What do you have in it anyways?"

OOC: No worries [MENTION=15132]Steve Gorak[/MENTION]. I know RL can get in the way sometimes. Glad you’re still with us though. Hope things settle down soon.


[Previous night]

Sir Ghaves Ledet looked shocked at the idea of a goblin marriage to his niece. “Such a thing is an abomination, and her title is meaningless right now in Esses, regardless.”

He gave a resigned smile to Theremin’s profession of loyalty. “Ah, lad, I am but a knight, the lowest of such titles, if such titles mean anything in Essess any longer. You are certainly of higher lineage than I. And I barely keep a roof over my niece’s head. But your sentiment does you credit, good sir.

Certainly a noble wedding is preferable to a common one for Irene. It is why I sent for the documents. I have resolved to consult with my fellows and decided it might be best to relocate her to a new situation away from young Curdy, the poor lad.” Ghaves shook his head, clearly saddened to have to possibly hurt the young couple.

***

[Morning]

Sayine stretched and yawned, flashing her sharp teeth and letting out a small puff of greenish yellow gas. She turned over so Theremin scratched her stomach.

When he mentioned her bag, though, she grabbed it and pulled it closer, hugging it possessively. “This is my treasure!” she said. “Do you want to see it?” She couldn’t help but boast.

Carefully untying a silk rope that held the bag closed, Sayine stuck her head and shoulders inside, pawing around. She emerged and held up a smooth black stone. There was nothing remarkable about it except that it had a perfectly round hole through the center of it.

“A faerie stone.” She dug in the bag again and came out with a white birch twig, perfectly straight. Then there was a shiny brass button. A dragon's bony talon hanging from a plain leather necklace. A pair of old socks.A scrap of cloth from an old banner. Aside from a few old coins polished to brilliance, nothing she showed him was particularly valuable.

"Who knows what today will bring, but I would be happy to see you tonight, if destiny permits." Mindra kisses Alene back, and it goes on for a while, until Alene makes clear that she really should be going.

Mindra will leave her pack in the cottage, but will bring her weapons with her to the inn for breakfast. It is time to talk some more to the others and find out what the purpose the old crone had from bringing them all together.

Alene was definitely just as reluctant as Mindra to break the kiss. For a moment it seemed as if the elf and half-elf might toss Alene’s carefully donned armor and uniform and tumble right back into the bed before Alene forced herself to pull away, breathless and with rosy cheeks.

“See you tonight,” she promised, before gathering her gear and heading out of the cottage, heading up the hill toward the militia barracks, leaving Mindra to dress and go about her day.

Torban Ingpol, the innkeeper, looked up from some kind of puzzle he was working on behind the counter.

“Mornin’,” he greeted. “Want some breakfast, elf-lady? Or a bit of something for the morning after?” He gave a light chuckle. There seemed to be a few townsfolk nursing themselves after partying a bit to heartily last night, before they headed off to the fields or other work. “Your mates ain’t come down yet.”

"Breakfast would be fine," Mindra answered, ignoring the gibe. Humans had strange notions about relationships. "I will wait for friends here. If that is alright?"

Friends? Mindra pondered the thought. She hadn't known them very long, but fighting together forged strong bonds. If they were not friends yet, perhaps they might become so in time. There was still the mystery of the 'old crone' to figure out.

“Of course it’s fine,” Torban said. “You paid for the room. Breakfast will be right out. Have a seat.” He put down his puzzle and headed toward the door to the kitchen.

The front door of the tavern opened, letting in a bit of the chilly morning air, and a female half elf pulled down the hood of her cloak. Her head was bald, her ears the typical slighter points of the half-breed. Keen black eyes looked around the tavern with interest from a pale Arideen face. The few patrons in the common room that morning gave her greetings, which she returned. They seemed to know her, though Mindra hadn’t seen her before.

The half-elf’s gaze fell on Mindra and she raised an eyebrow in interest before flashing a smile. “Morning, stranger,” she greeted. “Torban! I need something to warm me up!” she called, moving up to the bar. She stumbled slightly as she seemed to trip over her own feet.

Torban emerged from the kitchen. He placed a full plate of eggs, bacon, sausage, and flatbread in front of Mindra.

“Breakfast, too?” Torban asked the newcomer as he whipped up a pair of hot tea with rum and honey for Mindra and the half-elf.

“Just some of that bread with honey, love,” the half-elf said, flashing a smile.
