Savage Harvest- adventure thread

Luke sadly asks "You wouldn't happen to have any ham would ya? If not maybe just a bowl of vegetable soup then with some bread and water."

“ Sorry honey, only one meal of the day. Tomorrow morning there will be ham steak and eggs with fresh buttermilk biscuits…the lamb shank is outstanding, you wont want to miss out on it.”

She says with a big smile

Gerty stares at Rikaria in disbelief.  “I.. we..I thought we were going to Miramar together?  You’re not going?” Gerty’s fantastic mood deflates in one big huff.  She sits down and looks up at her best friend, “This, doesn’t have anything to do with us, does it?  No, it wouldn’t.” Gerty shakes her head and in dwarven,  “I mean, I’m happy for you.” And without another word, she gets up, seems to just notice the other two boys, shrugs, and walks out the door.

Rikaria’s excitement immediately diminishes  and she follows after Gerty. Wondering why her friend doesn’t seem to be happy for her good fortune 

Loran stops eating as he watches Gerty leave. Confused and unsure of what to do. Shifting uncomfortably in his seat as he waits for this to play out. A worried look slowly crawling up his face. 

(Sorry for the lack of posts for a while. Got a little unexpectedly busy for a bit.)

Sasha is about to get up and go after Gerty but as Rik decides to follow her she sits down again, looking as the two girls leave the tavern, going silent for a while before turning to the others at the table again. "Oh, poor Gerty, I hope she will still come with us now." She says to no one in particular before going silent again, glancing over at the door to see if they come back, hoping they will sort out their feelings over Rik not coming with them.

William just shurgs. 

Let's eat!

Sasha frowns as Will doesn't seem to care much about these devastating news for Gerty.

Luke saddened by Gerty leaving but is also saddened there’s no ham for dinner. “Poor Gert…So uhh who are you two?”

"Oh, sorry, this is Aaron and Loran. I just met them but they are hopefully joining us on our journey north to Mirabar" Sasha says quickly, snapping out off her thoughts, turning to the handsome young men to present themselves to Will and Luke.

Well met guys! Guess I'm the leader now. So... what are your talents?

"Leader? Leader of what?" Sasha says with a frown. "Perhaps you should reconsider your attitude before naming yourself leader of anything."

Luke laughs to himself  “As you wish Lord Farquad” 

William gives Sasha a wink. Did I say leader? I meant HEALER!

Sasha laughs softly. "Yeah, sure you did Will. Perhaps you will be a leader too, who knows." She says with a warm smile, giving him a friendly pat on his hand, then turning to Aaron and Loran for their presentation.

Gerty heads back into the tavern after a bit and heads back to their table.  She doesn't say anything and has a seat, then notices the glasses of wine on the table, apparently in the middle of some sort of game.  Seeing there were two new comers that had joined them, she wasn't ready to say anything to them.  She leans over to Sasha, "Hey, could you get me a glass?  That sounds good."  While she waits, she pulls her new set of armor out of the pile and absently checks it over.

Leaning forward in his seat, and pouring Gerty a glass of wine. Loran tries his best to stay chipper as he introduces himself. "Um... Hey there everyone. Nice to meet you. Im Loran, greatest tag-along in the realm." He says chuckling half-heartedly. "I was hoping to join you all for tommorows festival." "If thats alright with the rest of you?" "I think i have Sasha's approval already at the least?" He says, silently depositing his newly poured glass of wine infront of Gerty. 

Gerty lifts her eyes up to the person who placed the glass of wine in front of her.  Surprised that she doesn't know him, she gives him a smile, "Loran, you say?  Nice to meet you, I'm Gerty."  attempting to lighten the mood herself, "Apparently I'm part of Lord Faarquad's guard" she giggles and looks to Will and Luke.  "And sure, we'd love the company.  And what about you?" she turns to Aaron, not realizing he had already introduced himself.

Say accountant Luke, do we still have budget for food and drinks? I'm starving!

Sasha nods and smiles to Gerty as Loran presents himself.
"What do you mean? Lord Faarquad's guard?" Sasha asks Gerty with curious smile, glad to see that she seems to perk up a bit. "Don't say you too have gotten some other plans."
