Risque shrugs. "I'm fine either way. I've slept in beds and on floors."

Jerrica snickers.
She shrugs, "Alright then, I'm just gonna go take a bath and relax for a little bit before bed. Night all."
"Good night."
Confused as to what Jerrica is finding funny about their conversation she just shakes her head as she heads into the wash room. Taking off her things she fills the tub and slowly sinks down into the water as she soaps up a cloth to wash herself with. She takes her time as she washes the days grit and grime off of her. True, she didn't have to get clean the old fashioned way...but it helped to relax her muscles and just made her feel good. Once her body and hair are clean she steps out of the tub and dries herself off. Putting the sleeves back on she wears the long light blue night gown again. Picking up all her stuff and kind of cleaning up the wash room a little, she gathers her things and goes into bedroom. Setting her stuff on the floor, she sits down on the bed.
Jerrica walks into the room a few minutes later, her hair wet. "Ahh, the bath was nice."
She nods as she sits on the bed, "Yeah...magic can be convenient sometimes...but I'll never pass up on an actual bath."
"Well, I don't have magic, so...it's just normal for me," Jerrica says. She sits on the bed and sighs.
Looking at her for a minute she asks, "Something wrong?"
"Nah, just thinking. So you know this Thorgr guy, huh?"
She nods as she plays with the lace on the bottom of her nightgown.
"He looks like he has eyes for only you," Jerrica says with a grin and another sigh.
She looks over at Jerrica as she lays down in the bed and props her head up on the pillow, "Really? Did...did you have to leave someone behind."
"Nah, he left me behind before I even got here," Jerrica says. "I don't think he was interested in the first place."
She nods, "Oh...I see. Well...if he wasn't interested then it was probably for the best that he left you behind. No telling who you might run across while we're here. Just don't rush anything...take your time and enjoy your life."
"Hehe," Jerrica laughs, laying on the bed. "That sounds like something Derika or Vishanti would say."
She shrugs, "I wouldn't have met Sig or Thorgr if I hadn't left home and gotten on that ship when I did. You just never know..."
"True."
Sig walks into the room drying her hair as the others talk. "So..girl talk isit?" the skald asks with a grin.
"I suppose it is," Jerrica answers. "Have a flame back home?"
"Not really. I think I'm....a bit outspoken for some people and....didn't really get a chance to explore anything much on the exploration mission we were on." Sigrdrífa replies with a shrug.
She blushes slightly as she lays in the bed, "Well......I think I explored enough. I mean, I tried ale for the first time and only managed to make myself look like some silly girl and confirmed Thorgr's suspicions about me. Anyways, I'm not looking to rush into anything either."
Nolletta manages to enter the room with Risque's help. "Did I miss anything?"
She shakes her head, "Nah...just boy talk mostly. Jerrica thinks Thorgr seems interested in me or something."
"He is," Risque says, helping Nolletta onto the bed. "Wouldn't stop talking about you...Got on my nerves."
Her eyes go a little large in surprise as her cheeks turn a darker shade of pink, "He....he did? Really? That's just so weird cuz I was around him for a little bit, but he never even hinted that he was. He just asked me once if I wanted to try his families ale....I did, got a bit tipsy...maybe more than a bit, and he took me back to my tent. What....what kinds of things did he say....wait...wait....no, I don't want to know. There's more important stuff going on right now and I can't afford to get distracted."
"Good idea," Risque says, rolling out her bedroll and fluffing up a thin pillow. "No need to worry about it. Good night."
"Good night." She says a bit quietly as she lays in the bed thinking about things.
Nolletta falls asleep soon after Risque does.
Jerrica yawns one more time before turning over. "See you in the morning."
She nods herself as she lets out a little yawn of her own, "Yeah...okay." She replies to Jerrica as she starts to drift off to sleep.
You sleep peacefully through the night and awaken to the smell of breakfast coming in through the bedroom door.
"Good night. Sleep well." Sig says, laying down herself. [b]"As she listens to the soft sounds of her companions either drifting off or already asleep, the warrior-songstress stares up at the ceiling, contemplating what she had been through so far, and what other strange and fascinating turns her life might lead.
At some point, she quietly drifts off to sleep.
Jerrica stirs at some point in the morning. "Ugh, I feel like I could have slept more."
A sound somewhere between a yawn and a groan come from Frostine's bed before she pulls the covers back over her head. From under the covers comes a muffled and sleepy sounding Frostine as she says, "Five more minutes...."
The smell of food slowly permeates her awareness, drawing Sigrdrífa slowly back to the waking world. Sitting up she grins as she hears the protests from her friends as they awaken.
"Well you can always sleep more." she says grinning as she stretches.
She nods under the covers as she says with a bit of a grumpy voice, "Good....then I'll be there soon, after a couple more minutes." Sticking a hand out of the covers she gives them a slight wave to let them know she's semi conscience before drawing herself back under the covers.
Chuckling, Sig gets out of bed and pads out to the kitchen in her shift.
Sig finds Corrie stirring some porridge and making fresh biscuits. "Good morning."
"Good morning Corrie, that smells wonderful." the songtress says cheerfully. "Did you rest well? Do you even sleep for that matter?"
"Yes, I still need to sleep," Corrie says. "I don't know why."
She smiles, a feeble attempt to conceal her confusion. "I slept well, though. Thank you for asking."
About ten minutes later a somewhat less sleepy looking Frostine emerges from the bedroom while still in her blue nightgown. Stretching a little she says, "Good morning, sorry it took me a bit to get myself up. I have to say you have some pretty comfortable beds Ms. Corrie. I almost didn't want to get up at all."
"I'm glad that you rested well," Corrie says, dishing up some porridge.
She nods as she sits down at the table, "Would you happen to have any milk? If not it's okay, I can just have some hot tea or something."
"I do have some cold milk," Corrie says, pouring Frostine a glass.
Her eyes seem to watch Corrie's every movement as she pours the milk into a glass. Humming quietly to herself she says, "Mmmmm....now there's something I haven't had in a while. Thank you Ms. Corrie." She says as she takes the glass in her hands once it's done being poured. With her hands around the glass of milk she closes her eyes and a frost begins to form on the glass as the milk inside turns an odd brown shade, slightly lighter than the chocolate swamp they had encountered the day before. As she holds the glass the odd concoction grows colder and thicker. Opening her eyes she almost squeals with delight as she takes her spoon to stir the now chocolate frosted milk drink. Once satisfied with the thickness she uses her spoon to taste a bit, "MMMmmmmmm soooo ggoooood." She says before starting to spoon more of it into her mouth. She stops a moment to look up at Corrie and gives her a slightly impish smile, "Thank you for the milk Ms. Corrie, I won't waste it." She says as she takes a bite of the porridge before going back to her concoction.
Jerrica drags herself into the kitchen, still in her bed clothes. "Alright, I'm here."
Happy to have something familiar to her again she gives Jerrica a little smile, "Ms. Corrie made breakfast, it's pretty good. You should have some."
"I did, thank you." Sig responds as first Frostine, then Jerrica come into the kitchen. She studies Corrie for a moment, storing the reaction to consider later, as Frostine's magic breaks her out of her reverie. "Nice trick." she says as she looks over at Corrie. "I'll have some porridge and biscuits please Corrie. With hot tea if you have it."
