Having quietly watched the antics of everyone, a small smile on her lips, Riven finally finished up her meal, polished off her wine and stood up. "See you all on the morrow..." Grabbing her things, Riven headed up the stairs, catching Kree just before he entered his room. "Might I share your bed once again?" she asked softly, a little...embarrassed about asking but also really wanting that contact once again.

  A soft Chuckle escaped him,You may if you wish?.. It will be as boring as the last time... we need to be ready to move , on the Morrow...

 Ivy entered the  top floor  and Loked at Kree with his  arms held out in question...

 kree  called  down the hall...Pick one..they are all ours tonight..which ever room is left will be for  the two  folks  who came in after us...

Farora nodded at Kree and wished him a good night, doing as he said and taking Lysander to the end of the hall. She laid him on his side in case he puked it wouldn't fall right back down, covering him with his blanket before going to find her own room. She waited for the other women to settle before setting her pack on the floor as a pillow and taking off her cloak to lay on top of her, falling into sleep quickly.

She chuckled and shook her head. "That is fine with me." Once again, there were no expection that she had set aside from wanting to feel that comfort and safety that she felt with Kree. She'll head into whichever room that Kree picked.

Aerwenwe accepted the ruby-tipped silver pin, turning it over and over in her hand as she studied it. She had been offered a place among this band of mercenaries, which actually didn't surprise her at all. With no clue what to expect, the winds had sent her here to this sleepy little place for a reason. She had initially thought that reason taken care of with handing over the coin pouch to the couple that were former slaves. Yet things had moved froward yet from there, and now, with no knowledge of her skills and abilities, she had been given a chance to team up with a group that was taking the fight to people that needed their heads knocked around a little.

So of course it made sense to accept it. She looked up to the captain, nodded back to him with a small smile, and twisted the pin into the leather strap around her neck, resting it right between the two keys there.

Then the one named Zorin asked her to dance. She froze for a moment then, looking over at the playful smile that curved his lips now. She couldn't refuse, that would be plain rude now that they were part of the same band. She nodded and held her hand out to him, though it would be a sweaty hand suddenly.

"I must apologize before we start, Zorin." She told him quietly, looking around to try and keep the coming confession between just them. "I... have never danced with another. But I shall do my best not to ruin a toe or two of yours." She was light on her feet, always had been, and had confidence she would learn quickly.

Enjoying a restful night Miranda rose early for morning Devotions and exercises. Once completed she washed and prepared for the day, heading to the common room for a morning meal. Greeting any who were up and about.

Lysander woke early in the morning, in need of a bath.  His head felt like the inside of a ringing bell.

  Kree repeated  his evening  prep as last time, though there was no wino=sow  this  time... He  got into the Bed.

  not too many beds on the trail...  he chuckled.

In reply to Aerwenwe (msg # 218):

Zorin smiled kindly, Don't worry deary, I've had far worse things than your boots step on my feet before.

He went with her onto the dance floor, enjoying a jaunty tune with much laughter and not so much as a flinch whenever she did hit his feet.

After they were done, Zorin took her hand, bowed before it, then stood, grinning widely through some heavy breathing for his extra effort in the dance. Normally, I'd persuade you to more carousing in a more private setting, he winked but, our party has limited space and an early day. So, alas, I suggest we call it a night and retire to the appropriate quarters till morn.

Krwyn sleeps very well, probably with Zorin in the same room, as there seems to be an influx of female Arrows of late, which he doesn't mind at all.
When morning comes (early), he controls all his gear before breaking his fast in the common room.

Farora sleeps and wakes better than the night before, sitting up and stretching before grabbing her things and wandering to the main floor. Not even bothering to fully open her eyes and mumbling a ''mor'nin'' to Elandra as she leaves.

She didn't embarrass herself completely, though there was at least one toe crunch she regretted. She thought she did rather well considering, and Zorin led her well across the floor. When the night was over and he took his leave speaking his regret over having no proper place to pursue further carousing, Aerwenwe grinned like a cat at him and shrugged.

"My loss, I am certain." She said jovially, waving goodbye to him as he headed up the stairs. And she meant those words. She'd never been intimate with anyone in her life yet, and was greatly curious as to what that type of companionship held.

Ari turned to walk out the front door. It was obvious that this band of brethren was occupying all the rooms that the inn could provide, which meant no soft bed again anyway. As she wasn't one to run someone off of something she had no right to, she'd be better off back out under the stars... like normal. No regrets.

'Well, maybe one.' She thought as her eyes followed Zorin's retreating form.

Riven chuckled. “I suppose we should enjoy it while we can, eh?” Her own prep was much the same though there were no bindings upon her chest this time. Once all of her things were stacked up, she climbed into bed beside Kree, scooting a little close for warmth.

As the smells of breakfast start to encircle Lysander, he suddenly runs to the privy to unload whatever is in his stomach the hard way.  After he cleans up, he starts to feel marginally better, so he grabs some baked bread for later, when the hunger will grab him.

In reply to Lysander (msg # 227):

Seeing Lysander up and about Miranda took a chair beside him quietly asking the Dwarf if he had any worries.

Lysander seemed reticent to share, as he had seen where that led.  "I think I saw you yesterday, but much since then is a blur.  I just needed to separate myself from reality for a while.  I guess I over did it, which hasn't happened in over 25 years.  I will be fine when it comes time for my talents to be used again, presuming it isn't in the next few hours."

In reply to Lysander (msg # 229):

Puzzled by Lysanders reply. If it isn't prying may I ask why did you need to separate yourself?

Lysander blushes and turns away.

Zorin went into the room he had used the night before, passing out as soon as he laid down.

He awoke, groggily in the morning, shortly after the others started moving around.

He descended the stairs, and joined the others at the table, taking up a hot drink and a plate. He grunted greetings to those who bid him good morning.

In reply to Lysander (msg # 231):

Noticing Lysanders reaction Miranda didn't enquire further. Moving to the table she joined the others. After giving thanks to the Sisters she enjoyed her morning meal.

She walked softly back into the inn after her evening outside, and a bit hesitantly joined the other Arrows at the table. Last night had been a rush to her, things moving way faster than she was used to, and her head was still spinning a bit over it all.

"Greetings, my brethren." She called softly as she made a plate of fruit and cheese and broke her fast, her new crimson pin displayed among her necklaces.

   waking in the  Morning, Kree  gave  Riven a  soft whap on the cover-covered Hip...Time  to  get up.. we have a long way to go and Hargenites who are eager to die..

 He  Poured one  Bowl of water to wash up with as he placed the rest of the water near the fire..... when he  was  finished, he emptied his water into the chamber Pot, and Poured Riven the warmed  water to  refresh with...

 slipping on his  tunic  and  leathers that sat near the fire,He was ready to go once he collected his  weapons.

...........................

 Ivy was up,  he    rushed his  hair  and  pony tailed it... as he said ,Lets get  down there, before the Inn Keeper things we eat too much!

In reply to Aerwenwe (msg # 234):

Greetings Cousin Aerwenwe are you also a Devote of the Sisters? she teased suspecting Aerwenwe meant comerads rather than Brethren.

 Elandra awoke on the bed, she washed up and got dressed. Elandra then kneeled and did her morning prayers too Amot. Once her prayers where done and she was all set, Elandra headed downstairs and the others.

 Elandra walked downstairs smiling and said," Good morning all may Peace always be with you." Elandra got fruit, cheese and some bread and a hot cafe. Elandra took a seat with her friends and ate.

Miranda caught Ari with a mouthful of cheese as she asked that question. Aerwenwe gave the pretty elfmaid doe eyes and a shake of her head as she hurriedly swallowed.

"Sorry, but I know them not. I'm afraid I've been... ahh... cloistered away somewhat in the High Peaks." She scrunched up her nose a bit as she thought over what she had said. Did not brethren mean 'fellow members?'. Or... perhaps she had it wrong and it meant brothers.

If so, she could see where saying that could be awkward. She blushed a bit at her gaffe, then quickly acknowledged Elandra walking into the room.

"And to you as well." She called back, then stuffed her mouth with some fruit to give her more time to think on her wording. Vesda must have taught her wrong, may a pox sprout right on his nose!
