[IC] Halfling Quest - Rooting Around

[Slippshade]

Bubbles was the last one to make it to the breakfast table. Seeing Kiylea there was even better than the thought of the breakfast her mother has layed out for them.

She waits for the others to move away and gives Kiylea a gental hug.

"I'm glad that your ok. Its there anything i can get you?"

 

[Tarlonniel]

Somewhat pleased but mostly confused by the attention being showered on her, Kiylea finally manages to get her mouth working again. "Has everyone gone daft? Of course I'm okay! Stop actin' like I died and came back alive again, and tell me what happened last night!" She looks over at their young mage and stops. "Bird's knees, Ringly, what's wrong? You look terrible! Are you hurt?"

Ringly watches while the others greet Kiylea. He had considered, briefly, giving her his own display of affection, but decided that he wasn't at all comfortable with the idea. So instead, he sits back, a look of misery on his face, belying the great weight being lifted off his heart at seeing some semblence of normality restored to her.

"I'm fine," he croaks at last. "Just tired."

A pause. Did she expect something more?

"You should eat. The food's good."

 

[hafrogman]

Jerran looks at Kiylea and speaks gently.

"Your jest is closer than you think, perhaps. The encounter with the boar did not go according to plan. . . mostly because the boar was something more than just a hungry pig in the woods. You were wounded and unconcious before we managed to defeat the demon porker. Luckily, through Alton's", here he gestures to the young paladin, "swift actions. You were patched up enough for the rest of us to carry you to Alton, the other one, for some healing type magic."

 

[Tarlonniel]

Kiylea's eyes widen. "Was I hurt that bad? It just seems like a scratch." She glances down at her rent and stained leather jerkin. "Father Alton must have magic as strong as Clara's. Anyway I'm sure sorry I wasn't any help... but I guess you guys handled things all right." She smiles around and gives Alton a quick kiss on the cheek. "Thanks for getting me patched up! Wow, is all this food for us?"

"So you killed the thing?" She goes on as she sits down. "I'd sure like a look at it in the daytime. And I sure wish Clara and Coyo were here; I bet they'd know what made it turn bad, and how to keep other things from being taken the same way."

 

[Boddynock]

Somewhat breathless - both from the kiss and from Kiylea's calm acceptance of her near death - Alton stands silent for a moment, then grins again and says, "Yeah, it does look good. And I'm glad to see that bacon is on the menu!" He laughs heartily and then sits down to eat just as heartily.

 

[Evilhalfling]

erm .. Did Father Alton know why an unatural boar would be here? think it had um.. any piglets? mabey we should well ... um go see? but after breakfast of course, an only if Kiylea feels up to it.....

 

[Ferrix]

As Eddie begins talking about Father Alton, the front door swings open and in walks Mero Brandworthy, escorting Father Alton to the head seat at the table. Everyone's struck silent for a moment as the old priest settles into his chair, he smiles warmly at all of you. Mero nods quietly and moves around to sit at the foot of the table, wearing a plain cotton shirt and trousers must mean that he's off duty today, a rare sight indeed.

Father Alton interrupts the momentary silence, raising his hand as if hushing a crowd, "it seems that you have recovered your strength with a good night's rest and Mya's excellent cooking. The boar you brought down last night is definately of interest, although, first, could you pass the omelette?" He smiles again, his casual manner quite disarming.

 

[Slippshade]

Bubbles Greenbottle

The years of serving at the Silver Horn kick in and Bubbles carries the platter of omelette to Father Alton. She gives him a bright smile...

"Tell me when."

...and procedes to spoon the omelette onto Father Alton's plate.

"Would you like some too Mero?"

 

[ender_wiggin]

If Kiylea had been any worse for wear, Ringly may have openly voiced his disdain at Mero. Instead, she seemed perfectly healthy, and the shy wizard didn't feel the need to embarrass himself.

Ringly listens to what the pair have to say.
