Sera resists the temptation to roll her eyes at the delay, but clearly Jasun was angling heavily for something warm, and she supposed it was cold, especially if you were as unaccustomed to the cold as he clearly was, and in the summer. No harm in grabbing something, she supposed. "All right, a quick stop in the tavern for something warm."
"Fantastic!"Jasun said at the thought of a warm meal before an investigation, and most likely, fighting. Which was fine. For whatever reason, T'Vauz was ushering Jasun in a particular direction, and by doing his will, he could learn more about the Elder God and how, secretly, one day, how to resist their temptations while still being granted power.
It was a long shot.
"I'm afraid i'm not too terribly familiar with this town - first time here."
"Ah, perfect, thank you, madam."Jasun smiles, thanking Ionnia. "Come, may I buy you a drink to, perhaps, melt that icy demeanor of yours?"he teases. "First round is on me, my new friends." he says to everyone. "Then, I promise. We can get down to business."he bobs his eyebrows once. "With our mission, of course."
“Permafrost, oh my! Then, we’d best hurry, lest we lose whatever warmth is left inside you to the icy chill forever!” Jasun said pleasantly, offering to usher everyone inside. “A quick bite, and we shall be on our way.”
Upon entering the Silver Stoat, all eyes go upon the five of you. They aren't unfriendly eyes, but they are definitely paying a significant amount of attention to you, as there are very few members of the non-human races in Heldren and certainly nothing as exotic as the individuals traveling in the party. A middle-aged woman greets you from behind the counter. "Ah welcome! Have a seat. I'm Kale, my husband Menander is in the back, cooking up a pie, but I can serve you some of our Three Devil Ale."

Zaf stops his gawking at everything in the tavern to regard the woman with smiling eyes. "This one would prefer water, actually. But the pie sounds nice. So, this one would have that too."He requests. "Also, might you know of someone nearby provisoner that has more wintry clothes for this one here? They seem to have found themselves here with has been insufficient."Zaf requests, before attempting to pat Jasun on the shoulder, followed by a thumbsup.

Hearing of the winter-touched got Rose to visibly shudder. I thought they just made those up to stop me from trying to go out at night in the winter... She frowns a bit, but remains quiet, shuffling a bit in nervousness as they began to talk about heading to a tavern for some warm food. Should I go with them...? I-I'm no good with talk but I should learn about them, shouldn't I? ... Maybe I can make friends...She tightens her grip on her amulet.
When she sees that all of the group did follow along, she quietly follows behind them to the Silver Stoat, trying her best to be optimistic in the promise of making friends. The firbolg can't help but tilt her head to the side when Kale approaches them and offers them some ale, never actually had one of those before. "P-pie is good," She stammers out, then follows it up with. "I'll... I'll try the drink too."
Noticing how Jasun really wasn't accustomed to the cold, Rose can't help but bite the bottom of her lip as she fiddles with the end of her coat before taking it off and handing it over to him. "For now. To keep you warm."
Had he taken the coat and put it on, he would note that it smelt lightly of vanilla and cinnamon with just a hint of amber.

"Oh!"Jasun smiles, "How kind! I promise i'll return this to you after our meal. Is that vanilla, cinnamon, and a hint of amber I smell?"he sniffs. "A fantastic combination, the aroma is pleasant."Waiting for the food and drink to arrive, he sniffs and makes an effort to break the silence. He had yet to be introduced to the tall powerful blonde, still. "What a coincidence that we all find ourselves here this day - with, perhaps, a common goal? Should we stay together and complete this little mystery, I wonder what kind of trouble we will get into." he said, a bit excited about the possibility.
Moments later, Menander comes out with some fresh venison steak and numble pie and Kale serves up two mugs of Three Devil Ale for Jasun and Rose and a cup of water for Zaf.

Zaf kind of cocks his head at the comment, having not been around many beings that just spoke their minds. But otherwise, quiet remains the bird boi, listening passively, yet seeming more interested in looking around even once the group is more or less seated again. "Coincidence? Hmn. A possibility. I did have a feeling for the longest time of needing to head this way. And now that I'm here, I feel that I'm closer to something. Something... important." He chuckles softly.
"Be that as it may, I would certainly appreciate the company for a time. The dangers purported aside, it is nice feeling, the camaraderie. Oh and speaking of strengths being poured together. We might wish to visit the local rangers, uh.. the high Sentinels. See if they are alright, considering such banditry was able slip past in the first place." He suggested, before guzzling his drink, and shuddering in delight.

"Ah, thank you, excellent." He turns to Zaf. "Do you not drink alcohol of any kind, Bird Person?"Jasun asks, eating the pie. It was warm and delicious. Not to mention washing it down with the ale. "To new friends, and the mystery ahead."he also says, holding up his drink.
"Gods, get me a drink too," Sera grumbles before making the actual request in a much more pleasant tone. "Menander, could I have a mug of ale as well?" She digs into her food with pleasure, despite her earlier reluctance to stop at the tavern.
"Oh, you five are going to investigate what's going on in the Border Wood?" Kale asks, her eyes going wide a little. "You're eating and drinking for free today." She pours a mug for Seraphina.

Rose gives Jasun a meek smile prior to sitting down to dig into her meal. She has yet to have taken a sip of her ale, but holds up her drink, and when they toast, she finally takes a sip. After a second, her face sours, pulling the mug away from her mouth. "... This is gross..."

Sera snorts softly at Jasun's offer. "You can certainly try, but I warn you, my demeanor is something approaching permafrost at this point."
