BlackBerry had seen Lizbeth leaning in towards Lady Kathryn as a hushed conversation between the pair snuck below the main talking points of everyone's plans for the day. He narrowed his eyes at Lady Kathryn over the rim of his tea cup after her stammered response to his question, but found nothing of note in her words and so left it at that, feeling a sigh of relief escape him that all was well in the end.

[color=00aeef]"The tea is marvelous as it is, thank you, of course in no small part to your efforts, Young Lizbeth. I shall however help myself to some more porridge in a bit."[/color] He sniffled and wiped his nose as politely as he could. BlackBerry had to raise his already loud voice to make sure she could hear him after already dashing into the kitchen
[color=00aeef]"Do not trouble yourself worrying about me; it is just a cold is all. And anyway you have your training to focus on."[/color] 

Even saying this, he was thankfully for the refilled bowl of porridge presented to him now ladder eith nuts and berries and steaming in the frigid air Victoria, in her earnest to summon her hourse, had let into the room. BlackBerry shivered and retreated back under his blankets against the cold breeze.

[color=00aeef]"Please take care on the roads Victoria and Kosara"[/color]  BlackBerry called to them over his shoulder and the biting morning air. [color=00aeef]"Do make sure to take a Stone with you please before you leave. There is one in my room on the table should you wish to take it with you."[/color] 

When the others had left and BlackBerry was alone in the tap room. He quietly enjoyed the extra helping of food and tea which had been handed to him while inspecting the marvelous scabbards and broch he had been gifted. If he hadn't thought they were handsome, now with a chance to properly investigate the craftsmanship he could only marvel at the skill Master Urmadus must have to twist and carve the insect hide into shape. He found the broch as well to be a very fine piece, quickly putting it on to hold the blankets around his shoulders, decorated with a simple though no less recognisable image of an Ankheg.

The next hour BalckBerry spent tidying up as best he could; moving the remains porridge off the heat, cleaning his plate, putting away those that had already been cleaned, tending to the fire and then finally, as a bit of reassurance equipped his shortswords on either side with the new scabbards. BlackBerry did spend a bit of time in front of the looking glass marvelling at the new scabbards, a deep green hanging from leather straps without getting in the way of his movements and as he turned this way and that. The old scabbards lay abandoned atop his neatly made bed somehow with an air of jealously.

Now with all his affairs for the morning in order BlackBerry rallied himself once again to face the outside world of snow and ice, and stepped out to start the day sniffling and sneezing all the way.
