A smile. "She's got an appetite," she says approvingly.

"Tell me about it" Magnus says

A bit of drool comes out but she seems delighted

"Almost makes me want one, but.. oh no," Delores says "Too soon for me"

"Oh, Delores, you'd be a wonderful mother!" Coradel says with absolute conviction.

August studiously dabs River's little lips with his napkin.

A fond smile at August.

"Oh, I was thinking...let's have a day sometime in the next week or so to invite all the local crafters to set up tables in one of the galleries for a holiday craft fair."

"Well, thank you" Delores smiles "ALl in good time"

"Oh!" She beams "I can get on that"

"Excellent! I think it should make for a lovely opportunity for them to market their wares."

Vashti perks up "Ah, would those who live in the hold andn say, weave? Be allowed to patake? Asking for a friend"

"Oh, please, yes! Any and all crafters in and around EarthRunes!" A broad inclusive hand gesture.

August gently jostles the baby, rocking her for her entertainment.

Some cheers break out.

He looks up, startled.

And River sways and makes startled noises

Coradel beams as her suggestion is well-received. Well, of course it is, but still...the cheering is a nice touch.

"Shh shh shh...." he murmurs, settling her.

"Looking forward to it, I Have just the program" Hume says

"A program...?" This isn't her notion of a holiday craft, but she's trying to understand, at least.

"For the craft fair" He says

"Yes, I'm curious what kind of program it is." A smile.

"Oh, that would be spoiling it" He smiles

A blink, brows lifted. "Well...I look forward to being impressed then."

Rosco grins "Oh House Dougal gets a chance to shine"

A laugh. "As if House Dougal has not already impressed us this year?"

Honorria beams "There are a fair number of Douggals here. I do have a new construct I wanted to show off"

"Lovely! Now, I do request that, if possible, you have some smaller items for those who might wish to purchase something for others? Of course, I don't mean to insult your crafts, but my hope is that this can facilitate gift-giving, as well.

"awww. I'd love to do that" Honoria beams

"Wonderful!" She takes a bite of pecan pie and sighs with bliss. "Delores, magnificent as always."

And food and chatter continues...and perhaps eventually a portion of the crowd heads outside into the chilly air to work off some of that turkey with a bit of fae-style football.

August nods, agreeing. His arms are full.

And Coradel feeds August pecan pie, bite by bite.
