Time and Date:: 20th June
Weather:: Slightly cloudy, occasionally windy, otherwise calm.
Previous Threads?:: None started.
It was early nightfall over Berk. Just a bit chilly enough to inspire people up to the Great Hall for a pint, but not so they were complaining about it. People were sitting around, talking, occasionally arguing about everything from their dragons to the weather. Of course, that was easy to break up when lack demanded refills on their tankards. The Teallach brewery was showing off their summer wares, a few new mead mixes with fruit in some, molasses and honey in others. Ira's dad was over in the corner chatting boisterously about new ideas for flavors (evidently he begged to differ on numerous folks' ideas of 'retirement').
Around the Hall serving from a huge container was the redheaded lass who was speaking to a few of her workers to see to it no one was going empty. Ira's eyes scanned the crowd with satisfaction. Knowing one day she'd demand her dad let her run everything in public by herself- but she was in good enough spirits to let it go today. A smile to herself crossed her face softly as she occasionally chatted with a nearby Viking, steering clear of any dragons that happened to be in the place. The woman wasn't rude, and if the situation forced it she'd get closer and be polite, but. Well. She had a history, didn't she.
Ira passed by a few tables when she noticed a figure keeping mostly to himself. The man seemed to have a bit of a 'don't bother me' demeanor. It wasn't hard to spot and most of the folk that weren't blind picked up on it. The new chief, 'appointed' about a week or so ago, seemed to have a lot weighing on his mind. And why wouldn't he? Certainly being thrust into such an unenviable position wasn't helping matters. Turning, the woman walked back over to her dad's set of casks and cracked one that was a very dark colored mead, meant to heat the back of the throat with the molasses mixture but not be overly sweet. She walked over with a flagon and set it before him, a smile on her face. "My lord, if it's not imposing, might I sit with ye a while?" As if not in the mood to wait for a response, she slid across from him. She didn't ask him anything further, nor did she make any demands or fawning schoolgirl or sycophantic lavishes upon him. The brewmaster's daughter was there to sit and offer him company, lest he turn her down. And even then, he might have to be stern about it.
