    "I'm an early riser myself usually but I'll stick around for you, fair is fair after all." Taking his last drink in his hand he quaffed it and stood up, making to head out into the throng. "I cannot imagine I'll be long and certainly I'll return for those fireworks. Now that I know I'll have...

    Showing his teeth with his smile Hawkflesh blinked at the inquiry. "We can, unless someone as quick as an elf does it." A half truth really, good slight of hand was about misdirection as much as swiftness of motion but in essence yes. "Though I remember my father being particularly fond of...

    "Well, I am only in my nineties." Hawkflesh said, leaning forward again and and throwing Rho a wry grin. She wasn't wrong to figure that the Elf perception of time was not like shorter lived beings, she just had it a bit backwards. "You would think that but I'm afraid that's a misconception...

    It was nice to hear someone say they did something because they enjoyed it but the recognition he got from her story told him perhaps more than she intended. Street dancers were seldom only dancers and that meant poverty typically. Ilara had grown up either in poverty or just above it. Not that...

    Hawkflesh was far too hungry for this mewling. "Gag this one before I remove his tongue!" If there was one thing he could not abide it was false indignation. His eyes went to Mr Toadwyck as he pointed a dirty, shaking finger at the Stoatkin. "I'll watch him and if he so much as hisses I'll end...

    Hearing Rho speak so casually of sex put him at ease. Folk could be unexpectedly prudish on vulgarity when they chose to be and it eased his heart that she seemed to be down to earth enough to even make a jab at him for his exclamation. "I won't disagree. The last person I think was... oh I...

    Eyes slowly opened and Hawkflesh came back from the infinite moment with a sharp pain in his head. It was not the first time he had collapsed from lack of food and he suspected that the rush of sugars from the drinks he'd been quaffing had not helped him at all. "I'm fine." He said, mouth...

    Hawkflesh opened his eyes slowly at first and the quickly. "Oh shit!" Slowly he rolled over to look at the dark abyss which should have been a canopy. The trees around him had sprung up overnight and the leaves on the ground were just the right kind of wet rot the feel horrible under him...

    "That would be lovely Miss Rho, thank you again." Hawkflesh said while helping himself to another deep fried vegetable. There was no stopping his stomach now, try as he might. He was beginning to feel dizzy even, nothing serious but still, it was there as he listened with interest to her story...

    "You're right." He admitted and slipped his thin, rough fingers into her warm hand again interlocking their fingers into a knot before he could think about it and again her steady pulse tried to tell him something he was missing. "There, you're stuck with me now." He teased back with a grin...

    He took a drink and Hawkflesh had to admit that it was in fact a very refreshing cider, crisp and clean. It got his eyebrows rising in surprise at how good it felt to drink it. "This is really good." He took another drink and set it down. Not knowing much about brewing he had little more to add...

    "No this is my..." Wide eyes searched inward for the number but he had lost count, he always lost count after five or so. "... sixth, I think, maybe eighth or tenth?" It was then he noticed that she had not moved away. In fact if his special awareness was right (and that had come into great...

    He was greatly relieved to hear the kind woman agree to his request. So much it showed on his sharp features. "I'm afraid I'm fit for little else until I sober up!" He responded to her playful inquiry. Somewhere just shy of his awareness he was certain that this response qualified as flirting...

    Hawkflesh could not help but look and when his eyes fell upon the leering sailor across the crowded room of dancers and revellers he felt his hands tighten on hers. The man had a look about him that promised unpleasant things and that was putting it lightly. "I, no I don't think that would be a...

    Hawkflesh had been drifting through the days and weeks again. Places had blurred, memories faded and he once again found himself in a place with lots of people and even more drinks. He even started dancing. Blackest hells had he really forgotten himself so? So it was in his half-cut state that...

    His crooked smile returned for a moment before fleeing from his scarred face as he listened. Rho was kind. "It sounds as pleasant as it's brewer is. How can I refuse?" On the topic of young love Hawkflesh had little to add. "I suppose that's only normal. Festivals have a way of making people...

    Sharp eyes watched the boy come and go. Hawkflesh saw more than he let on. The boy was on his way somewhere, to meet someone or perhaps simply to go gawk at that massive pumpkin that rolled past moments earlier. "It's the privilege of the young to waste their energy. If he slowed down a lad...

    "Quit belly aching. He's alive is he not?" Hawkflesh jabbed back at Mirani languidly picked up his sword and began to clean the mud from it. It would ruin the blade if he did not do it quickly. He'd need to oil it soon as well and he needed shelter for that. "But you're right, this is a big...

    Thinking about it while he wiped his mouth with the handkerchief, which was barely a tissue to him Hawkflesh thanked Rho's generosity with a nod. "Brown was not one of the colours. We had red, yellow, blue, green, white and black." His narrow mind missing the intended point of the remark. All...

    "Don't start... with me... Brown eyes... I got us here." Hawkflesh was breathing hard now. The elements and effort were beginning to wear on him so he tried not to throw Mirani a look that promised harm as he turned away from her to snatch a coil of hempen rope from the pile of hoarded loot that...
