"Hello, Ashlee. Welcome back." A sunshine smile.

Ashlee does look a all the trolls "These aren't the old baron's people."

Ryder says "BURGER!" Wheeling up eager

Grete moves herself to get a burger and fries for Ashlee - and the others because she's already there. "Here, come meet Lady Sparrow. I'm about done and you can sit by me.

"Miss Sylvi brung 'em."

She nods. "Sylvi and others, telling stories and singing songs."

"I know, lots of changes fast - lots of new folks. But until the Balor back down..."

Ashlee looks at Grete with gratitude.. sort of hiding behind the Witchtel, ineffectively

Pepper rises "I n eed to make some more food"

"I'll help" Hope rises

Ashlee is sniffed!

It is hard to be sad when a lab thinks your are neat-o.

A soft smile on the ugly blighted face. Annd ..cautious pets

Ladybird's tail thumps against the floor and her tongue lolls.

Sir Dubh says "Sir Morthwyl is of the opinion we should see if we can bring some of the locals in by offering weapons training to wilders and grumps who are interested. I see merit in it. A strong Yeomanry"

Sparrow nods. "I like it. And self-defense lessons, too - maybe they don't want to actively fight, but being able to keep themselves safe..."

Grete introduces Ashlee to the dogs, even the puff-bear.

"They like fries."

The troll girl smuggles a few fries to the dogs to test this 'dogs like fries' theory

A sigh. "They like fries." And a smile.

"You're going to spoil the dogs" Dubh says to the childlings

"Warriors need their strength, Chancellor" Catir says primly "Even furry ones"

Clio enters in. "Oh my that smells heavenly"

"Eat, eat..."

Soon introductions are being made.

Introductions, food, friendly dogs to break the ice...

And as all this is going on, Sylvi follows the sound of socializing to the feast hall. "Oh! Wow, you're all here!" She smiles.

Sparrow waves at Sylvi!

It seems Ashlee has discovered Ladybird AND Yuri, and has two dogs to hide behind.

Ashlee does peek out to smile at Sylvi

"Young lady" Tyrnog nods

She smiles and waves back at both of them. And a more solemn nod to Tyrnog. "Good to see you. Any trouble on the trods getting here?"

A small wave to Sylvi. "There's burgers!"

"Oooh, and fries! Smells great, Hope." Complimenting the presumed cook.

ANd she sees ..PEPPER... older now, a wilder still.. Siv's friend , one who went out on the Wavemaiden to Thyle

"Hey smooth talker, have a bison burger"

"Ohmigosh, Pepper?"

"I had no clue you were here. I guess Siv told you what's up." She claims a seat. "Wow, this place is really set up to mount a good defense now, isn't it?"

"Hey. " She glances at Sylvi "Those came in nicely" A chuckle

"It is. We've already fought off our first attack."

that last whispered before Sylvi sat down. She's a BIT less crude

"And acttually.. I was in the audiance" That she says clearly "you were amazing"

Sylvi glances up towards her horns. "Thanks!" Then realizes that's probably NOT what Pepper meant...and blushes. "Heyyyyy."

"I didn't see you there." But then she hears what Sparrow said, and puts down the burger that was half-way to her mouth. "Wait, what? When? Where?"

"Some Balor brought in a bunch of zombie chimera." And Sylvi hears about the fight - Morth stopping the RV with a wyrded hammer, the twins sword-dancing...

Hope's shotgun!

"It was invigoriting" Brynn says

"Enjoyed it" Bryndar answers

"Wow...I wish I'd seen that! That's like Siv-stuff." And a bite of the burger. "Mmm! Excellent!"

"Thanks" Pepper says "Hearth Training"
