"The stew would be great, thanks," Alice replied to Cassandra's inquiry. "Maybe with a shot of mead if you have any, whiskey then if not. I have enough coin." Then the blonde took out the needed coins from her coin pouch and set them on the table. Then Bernard suddenly starting asking about the female elf with wings before the drow female shut him up. Then the teen continued, "I was wondering if you guys wanted any more game. I might be going hunting again and I wanted to know if you needed some particular meat or just would like the luck of the draw. Or I could gather berries again. I should be able not to accidentally pick the itchy kind this..."

Just then, the door opened and the Jarl's wife walked in. And Alice was struck again by how similar the two elvish ladies in the room looked. Bernard flew over to Mrs. Arielle and Alice watched them while hearing Cassandra's reply. Then she saw Bernard fly back into the kitchen to tell Vivian something while the spouse of the Jarl sat down and waited for someone.

If they don't let me join, my hunting trip will be a good excuse to follow them. And if they do, who says you can't mix business with pleasure?"[/i]
