Bardulf stood on the freshly packed snow, his footprints marking his path towards the Odds and Ends store, with its homely appearance inviting him in to enjoy some warmth. However, he knew he had to wait for his companions or they may well not find him. It was the rushing footsteps of an all too familiar elf that lightened his mood as he knew that at least one person would come.

[color=fff79a]"Bardulf! I got your letter!"[/color] The small built elf made her way, kicking through mounds of snow until she reached him, offering "ideas and treats" as she said.

[color=f7941d]"Ideas? Treats? Color me intrigued. I am glad you could make it, Annya. I...may I?"[/color] He paused for a moment before slowly grabbing one of the steaming buns from her basket. His stomach was suddenly alive with energy as it growled and turned at the prospect of the delicious snack in front of his. He took a bite of the warm and fresh snack, a cascade of flavor and warmth spilling into his throat as he chewed and swallowed. His face lit at up the contrasting temperature of the meal versus the colder conditions around him. He hardly noticed Ismael approaching as he devoured the rest of the meat-bun.

[center][color=gold]"Oh rice balls. Don't mind if I do~"[/color] Bardulf's face rushed slightly with some color, both from the warmth of the buns but the slight embarrassment of how he had devoured his snack so ravenously in front of others. He swallowed and cleared his throat before looking towards Ismael, his brain finally catching those initial greetings he had initially given. He returned the patting on his back with a slight pat on Ismael's shoulder. [color=f7941d]"Ismael it's good to see you. How is...Billy?..is that his name?...How is he doing?"[/color] He would let Ismael speak for a moment before proceeding, and out of the corner of his eye, noticed Bron approaching. His nervousness rose as more people came, but it was met with an equal sense of relief as he found that the people he'd come to train and learn with were becoming his genuine friends.

[color=FB6222]"Bardulf, thank you for recommending this. Will... we be the only ones attending?"[/color] Bardulf gave a slight shrug and spoke with a slightly unsure tone. [color=f7941d]"Well I mean even if it's just us four, I would be happy with the turnout. Eris and Kaleb will likely be together wherever they are, same goes for Rue and Bowyn. I'm sure they might have other ideas for their day off. Kharne himself might even be training off in the woods for all I know. But, I do have some shopping to do, if you all would like to partake? Whoever is here when we are all done can come along for the hunting trip!"[/color] He spoke with some excitement as his words flowed, feeling oddly happy to have so many people near him for the first time in what felt like a decade. He turned to open the door to the shop, warmly greeting everyone as he opened the door and ushered them inside. [color=f7941d]"After you, my friends."[/color] [/center]
