Tree Lords IV

[Breila]

Babushka finds a nice spot near the inn, under a tree preferably, and works on her gaiters, chatting to Locky if the kender stays near.

[Jenara]

Locky sits cross legged next to Babuskha, playing with the cards she found in her pouches. "Do you think we will ever get home?" She asks as she sits.

[Breila]

"Home? what is home to us? A place that is home to you and me is something we would have to build, I think." Babushka tells Locky. "Though I would like to build that home in the cavern system we explored just after we met."
Suddnenly, tears well up in her eyes. "Sorry, I just had to think of Dekker. He was home to me, in many ways. And I have been foolish enough to led myself let away from his tracks..."

[Jenara]

"You know, I think we will see them again.... Trust Paladine, and I guess Habbuak to guide us." She winks. "As for home, I think WE should make a home somewhere."

[Breila]

Babushka sighs. "I hope so, I hope we can" she says, blinking back tears and resuming her work.

[NoTrammeling]

Fikod clutches his wineskins closely, giving Imani and Jerrard an exaggeratedly suspicious squint. "Ye lot seem awfully curious as to me wine! The pointy-eared bugger charged me half a blasted fortune for these, precious cargo they are." He relents with a scandalous wink. "Might be I'm plannin' on sharin'. That depends on yer disposition and willingness to share the load."

He holds a skin out to each of them. "After all, what's the point in drownin' me misery alone?"

[HorizonsDream]

Imani looks down at the wineskin offered to her before she finally relents and takes it. "It isn't a bad idea," she says. "At least, before we hit the road tomorrow."

[Jerrard]

"Thank you." Jerrard says with a bow. "Ulster, will you perhaps join us? And Thuskar too..."

[JadedDM]

"Oh, right," Ulster replies. "Well, they about pitched a fit, but I managed to convince the shopkeep that Babushka was a Blue Phoenix of Habbakuk and that Locky would behave. They both ran out of here a little bit ago, though. Hopefully Babushka will keep her out of trouble."

At the offer of drinks, Thuskar says, "Sure, although elven wine is pretty potent stuff. Or so I hear," he adds quickly.

"I'm not much of a drinker myself," Ulster admits. "I once got drunk on half a beer."

Meanwhile, Babushka finishes her work on her new footwear under a nearby tree outside, while Locky looks on.

[Jerrard]

"Half a beer?" Jerrard asks with a hidden smirk, "I meant tipsy, not drunk."

"Imani, should we get rations for the journey?" he asks, surveying the shop.

[HorizonsDream]

"If you don't have any, then I suggest you do buy some rations," Imani says, as she is still looking over the wineskin. "I think I have enough to last me a little over two weeks."

[NoTrammeling]

Fikod blinks, suddenly recalling that he needs more than alcohol to sustain him through the coming journey. With a snort he uncorks one of his skins and takes a long pull, already headed back into the store. "Don't let me dispell the rumors that we dwarves live on alcohol alone, it's simply this watery elven fare couldna sustain a cave gecko." He will purchase two week's worth of rations then return to the group.

[JadedDM]

After buying the rations, Fikod then purchases a nice donkey to carry all of his stuff on.

"Thanks, but I'll pass. Have fun," Ulster tells them.

[Jenara]

"You know, all of our money was on Dekker.. I do hope we find him.." Reaching into a belt pouch she produces the small pearl she bought. "We need to eat, I can do without this." Jumping up she heads to the store once more, "I'll be back!"

Walking inside she produces the pearl, "How much would you give me for this? I need to get some rations, 5 weeks worth? And could I buy a nice green cloak?" She asks politely.

[Jerrard]

"I have... nothing." The mage comments as locky enters. "Fair enough Ulster."
