"I'm still confused on how they managed to hide the farmhold for so long, and hold it when it was discovered" Nadeen says "And no, Idon't wish to rule a farm. "

"Better not," Gerd says firm

Nadeen sighs.

"They have one of the most powerful mountains I've ever known, their storms are solid... their hearth's wise. And there are so many of them anyone hoping ffor a fair fight is going to have to ask them to draw lots "

"Do you know what your title is? Like, are you a Knight or a baroness?"

"No.. I don't." Nadeen says "But I think I'm higher than a knight"

"Well, we have the best Hearth. And Storm. And Mountain. And Chief."

Nadeen says poliitely "To their safe return" She toasts and drinks

Dagmar bites on her lip and lifts her mug. "To their safe return."

"Hear hear" Olgar says and drinks

She drinks the last of her coffee (mostly milk, but still)

Gerd looks at a certain spot of the room, then says "________ O'CLOCK AND ALL IS WELL!!"

Olgar nearly spits out his drink . Nadeen had forgotten and jumps again

Dagmar laughs!

"What was that?" olgar says

"We're on watch!"

"I see..okay, new rule, times after ten pm must be whispered" Olgar says "i'm sure the Chief will back me on that. "

"Hmph"

Gerd goes 'awwww"
