	Things alas, could be going better. On the plus side, Kathryn was getting a ton of great wine recommendations! "[color=598527]Thank you so much master Rens, you do know how to treat a woman.[/color]" Kathryn said warmly as she sampled each of the three wines. Two of the three she was pleasantly surprised! The third one out less so, but with a polite request she spoke up. "[color=598527]A glass of each of this one, and this one here would be perfect.[/color]" She didn't dislike the third, but it wine was already a harder sell for the half giant. But two out of three for an enjoyable drink? That was a masterful skill. She did wish she had more hands, getting drunk at this rate was going to prove difficult. The news Annick brought helped and Kathryn worked down her two drinks much faster than she intended. The main relief being Annick agreeing to the plan. For whatever sort of plan it was. 

	"[color=598527]Master Rens, you do have a skill in flavors of wine. I was wondering how long you have been at this sort of work? I am not normally a big wine person myself but your recommendations have been on point so far tonight![/color]" Kathryn said enthusiastically, trying to enjoy her time before the work aspect of things came into play. Finally a season of stability she could enjoy, and it was turning into a bigger and bigger mess. For fucks sake. But she had right now to enjoy herself! And if she was fortunate enough, she may not even have to slow down Cecily! She could get herself tipsy beyond reason, and enjoy the night with her date! Then beat BB at this game of horse's shoes the next day. Over bug meat and sweet treats with the moss waters! Things had the potential to turn out really well, especially if Kathryn didn't need to slow down Cecily. 

	Things couldn't stay on track forever. She heard Cecily's voice coming from the other room and knew the fun was about to end. Hiding her disappointment by downing the two glasses of wine she was carrying, she asked Master Rens another question. "[color=598527]What's you're favorite drink here? Without any pressure from making a sale I would love to know what the master wine maker enjoys the most, or is most proud of.[/color]" Kathryn asked him enthusiastically, giddy like a small child in a candy store. As Cecily entered the room, Kathryn decided it was time to unwind, and do the best that she could to slow down the lady of the house. Grabbing one of the bottles of wine that she sampled earlier she took a rather large swig from the bottle attempting to drown out the stress of the situation, but pass it off as another silly adventurer moment. 

	Turning to Annick Kathryn spoke in a drunken and giddy tone that tried its best to sound like a serious noble lady. "[color=598527]My dear, would you be so kind as to grab my date so I can dance with her while I am still standing?[/color]" Kathryn spoke in her best noble tone, before giggles started breaking through and a childish smile poked through Kathryn's serious face. She wasn't that drunk yet, but sooner or later the alcohol she downed would kick in. Sooner or later she may have to be to pull off such deception. But it made anything she did here that much more believable if she showed signs of over drinking before she did anything too stupid. 

	As Cecily entered the room, Kathryn approached her bottle in hand, a silly grin on her face. "[color=598527]The woman of the night! Who we owe are thanks to for hosting such a pleasant event. And who brought all of us together through a rather strange fall, and through a surprisingly eventful winter![/color]" Kathryn said in a tone that sounded like she was attempting to give a cheers, but was a little too out of focus to give it properly. Kathryn figured one way to slow her down was to openly celebrate the night with her! Nothing slowed people down from getting to where they needed to be like celebrating and dancing. Cecily seemed like she was having a decent enough time and wasn't in enough of a rush to turn down a dance. Kathryn, mistress of seduction, had this in the bag. With her free hand out, Kathryn offered it up to Cecily a warm smile on her face, eyes locked in on the woman. "[color=598527]May I have this dance?[/color]" This wasn't even attempted flirting. To be fair if Kathryn could simply slow her down by having fun then all the better. Cecily also didn't seem like the type to be into younger woman. But in this mood? Kathryn would dance with about anyone for any reason if they were nice enough. 

	Alas, Cecily didn't seem as into the idea of dancing at the moment. Citing the lack of music. Offering that maybe Victoria could come in and play some music! "[color=598527]That works out perfectly, I just asked Annick to grab my date. Maybe she can grab Victoria as well! We could all have our own mini ball in here![/color]" Kathryn said excited like she was having the time of her life! "[color=598527]In the mean time, Master Rens? You seem like a great person in social events, any chance you know any songs? I know a couple myself but they're not exactly dancing tunes. Songs of tragedy, sacrifice, and hopes in new lands. All that fun and sad stuff. Sadly not great dance music.[/color]" Kathryn said with a smile before being interrupted via a violent hiccup. "[color=598527]...ow...[/color]" Before she downed another swig of wine from the bottle to drown those evil hiccups in wine. 

	In that moment, a noise came from Kathryn's pocket. Faint at first, but anyone close enough to hear it could hear words. Spoken words, a call, a plea for assistance. The leader pocket on Kathryn's belt did a poor job at muffling the noises and words coming from the party's monk. Inches from Kathryn's weapon it was well placed to be drawn, and to quickly swap to said weapon and jump to action! The magic warhammer being an ideal tool for dishing out punishment to any poor sucker that happened to cross Kathryn's path while she was in a poor mood. Or worse, in an excited mood for a fight. Had the hammer, and the belt not been nicely set on Kathryn's bed with the bulk of Kathryn's kit. Rarely wearing much outside of her room except her armor, she wasn't sure the best place to keep it and all the spare belts while she was out. So it rested comfortably on her bed while she went out in her dress, sword belt on her hips while she drunkenly tried to slow people down. Should anyone have been in Kathryn's bedroom, they would have heard the magic stone. Had anyone been in the room with Kathryn's full kit, they may have been able to come to BB's aid immediately. Had Kathryn taken better care in being prepared, help would be storming down the road this very moment to flatten any poor bastard that would attempt to harm her sparing buddy. Alas, Kathryn wasn't in her room. She was a ways up the road trying to convince a nice woman into a dance. Ignorant of the plight of her friend.
