*walks in*

[Rikki]

*walks slowly back over balancing a dish of meat, two pints of white and a beer*

here you go

*passes the beer to cuckoo*

didnt know what you'd want so i got what everyone tends to like. i mean if you dont like it im sure the barman will put it to the side for the next person and give you something else

*plops her dish and mugs on the table and gets back on her seat*

would you like some? it smells nice and spicy!

*the bar door opens with creak, cold air swirling into the heat of the room. A Knight wearing a templar tabard enters, his chainmail chinking slightly. Hanging up his shield, he smiles around the room*

"Its rather warm in here, glad to be out of the horrid cold. Something pleasantly warming please bar man."

*He strolls up to bar, smiling as he rummages for coin*

I've had some earlier, so no thanks.

*takes the new drink*

But I'll gladly accept this. So, what do you do? I can see you're a Crowan, but are you anything else?

[Rikki]

*slurps her milk*

well i used to work on the Farm alotmore, look after Rosie and worry alot about Straw cos she'd go away for a long time sometimes and i know shes my big sister and she should be worrying about me, although she does alot especially the other day when i was caught in the ghost fire and nearly burnt to a well done potato

*stops as her stomach rumbles at the mention of potato and bites into a slice of meat*

like i was saying, shes my big sis but that means i can still worry about her right?i mean its not so bad that now i go out when she does mostly so i can keep an eye on her, especially when that demon exploded! its so lucky me and Mister Vau and Miss Scarlett and the nice Templar men were far enough away so we could help everyone!
sometimes she gets mad at me though, like before we were fighting and she was yelling we had to move, but i couldnt cos there were people still in the fight and i cant leave people behind in a fight. and she got all mad and stormed off

But when straws not around i look after Miss Kyth and Mister Temp, hes really nice, he made me dinner once and it was lovely! and Miss kyth is just dead sensible, shes never daft. its sad that some people dont listen to her cos she cant talk, like sound, cos she can talk! even if there isnt sound. .. well i think so anyways.

you know she spotted that someone was a demon the other day even though we had a priestess who didnt?

*finishes a mug of milk and wipes her mouth*

You're Straws little sister? Wow, now that I wouldn't have guessed, you're just so... well... not like her. And to be honest, I think she's capable of looking after herself.

*looks at the new arrival appraisingly as she sups her drink*

[WillBrown]

*He smiles at the greeting*

"Good evening to both of you. I do hope I am not interuptting anything important. The name is Marcus, based at Labry keep, not a stones throw from here. Assuming that stone was thrown by a giant, feels like that distance on a night like this.

May I ask you names?"

yes, im Straws little sister, the middle one. i am more like Rosie really, Straws alot more cleverer and serious than me but thats cos shes smart and thinks things through carefull, although i am starting to learn too.
i thought she was ok with looking after herselkf and then there were some heretics and she ran into them like twice and each time she was cut down! and the exploding demon made her bleed from everywhere!

*smiles atMarcus*

Hiya im Berry! have you ever met a giant? i havent but i met an ogre and he was huuuuuuuge! like bigger than the ceiling! and his hands were like this

*spreads her arms as wide as she can*
and he picked me up like i was a little piece of bread, but he was really gentle, and he asked me if i'd thought of letting the light of Lady Vleybor into my life, and we had a nice conversation and he went home and i had tea and im going to meet trolls soon too!

*takes a deep breath and offers a small sticky bag*

wanna sweetie?

*raises her eyebrows, and flicks a quick glance at Berry*

Well spoken, this one, isn't he...

Why, dear sir, I believe that yes, I will give you the pleasure of my name, for it is how I am known by many. My name, that was given by my parents, is Cuckoo

*smirks, before standing abruptly*

Reet, I need another drink, and as Kyths paid for all mine...

*heads to the bar, and comes back with a bottle of whisky and a glass, she pours herself a measure, before looking at the other two*

Sorry, do you want some too? *signals to the barman for another couple of glasses* And one for yourself too, mate

[WillBrown]

"A pleasure to meet you both. It appears the tavern is blessed by longstor tonight, if we have a Berry and a Cuckoo in situ." *A grin and snort of laughter*

"I wouldn't turn down a glass madam, something warming would be most appreciated.

I have arrived to seek details of the hiring in a few days. The seneschal will be arriving in a few days, and I would like to be able to inform him before we set out.

May I enquire as to your reason for being in the horse and cart?"

First, you don't get a drink if you call me madam again... its just Cuckoo.

*pours him a drink*

What about you Berry? *hovers the neck of the bottle over the third glass, with an enquiring look*

I'm here because I'm resting after doing some contract work for Kyth.

[Rikki]

*puts her bag away*

........ i dont get it....whats funny?

*shoves a whole slice of meat in her mouth*

*shrugs, pours a measure into the glass, and pushes it towards Berry*

And what about you Mr Knight? What are you doing out on such a crappy night?

[WillBrown]

"Cuckoo it shall be then."

*Marcus picks up the glass* "To your very good health" *a small sip*

"Ahh that will warm a body up. This Kyth must be quite well thought of then. Will you both be at the hiring in Exmead? And did I hear a mention of Templars and exploding demons???" *A quizzical look*

"I am just doing some preliminary information gathering before the hiring. Knowledge is such an important thing to possess"
