"That would work too. But I want you to come to Magnimar and prepare it yourself there. It won't take too long. Gwenhwyfar takes you with her there, you can buy what you need on the market and use the kitchen of my inn." Abomentolor replies. "I'm not sure how many people will attend, or how many different dishes we'll serve, but I simply assume we'll easily get 100 people. If Jimmy opens it to all people in his employ it could as well become 500." Abomentolor brags to make it a little more interesting.
"What's the name of your inn? 'Burnt Offerings'?" Ameiko jokes. "And it is not possible that I alone cook for 100 to 500 people. And I'm not closing my inn to come and cook in Magnimar."
"Very funny." Abomentolor chuckles. "But I don't do the dooking. It is called 'Abomentolor's'. My inn doubles as a temple of Cayden Calean and my head cleric does the cooking. But mainly we serve out own brew. Our kitchen would profit a lot from a visit of a real chef. And I'd say you're up to the challenge." Abomentolor teases. "It's two days of your time at most with Gwen jumping from one city to the next in no time with her magic."
"It is true. I'll fetch Father Zantus on Sunday for the ceremony. I could get you then, or tomorrow, if you need some time to check on the kitchen and where to get the groceries." Gwenhwyfar chimes in.
"Ah, I see. Last minute preparations. Since when do you know that you'll marry?" Ameiko asks.
"The day before yesterday." Gwenhwyfar replies.
Turning back to Abomentolor Ameiko asks "And what is the budget you have for the meal and to pay the cook?"
"I don't know. Something from 500 to 1000 gold I guess. These two are generous, usually." Abomentolor replies with a smirk.
"The budget is pretty much whatever we need to cater for whoever turns up." Jimmy says putting his arm around Gwen's shoulders smiling down at her. "It seems this might be turning into a party for the whole of the district."
"Why not. That might be interesting. One gold for every meal I shall prepare and 100 gold for me to have some fun in Magnimar. And you fetch me here tomorrow morning." Ameiko replies and reaches out with her hand to seal the deal.
"A gold a meal... If you are good as everyone says then that is worth the price." Jimmy says shaking on it.
"Fine." Ameiko says. "What about now? Want a drink?"
"What do you think Gwen?" Jimmy asks, giving her the opportunity to back out
"I'll take something sweet with not too much alcohol." Gwenhwyfar replies with a smile.
"Mead if you have." Jimmy says with a smile. He finds an empty table and pulls a chair out for Gwen
Gwenhwyfar takes the offered seat.
Ameiko prepares the drinks and an ale for herself and joins you at the table. "So how has life been to you since you left Sandpoint? At least you seem to have collected some wealth."
"So, what is next then? We have a priest, a venue, the food, the booze... We still need to finish building our house too, it would be nice to be able to move in as soon as we are married. Abomentolor, can you finish the walls? And we still need to find out where to get the class from." Jimmy says as the drinks are being prepared
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jimmy then replies to Ameiko, "In a word, interesting. Gwen has been taking notes for us, she can tell you better than I what we have been up to."
"I'll take an ale too." Abomentolor replies. "I'm not sure the house can be finished. I don't think you want a stone roof. But the walls are almost done already."
"I think we have all we need. I have no practice in weddings."
To Ameiko's question Gwenhwyfar tells "We're Pathfinders now. But our mission is a secret one. I can only tell you that much: We're chasing the dead Runelords."
"We have enough wealth the better the lives of other people, and our own." Jimmy says as he drinks his mead
Gwenhwyfar nips from her drink and remembers the evening it all began here in the Rusty Dragon. She looks absent minded.
As always Gwen is the centre of Jimmy's attention, his gaze is constantly drawn to her. He sits with his hand resting on her leg as he sips his mead and tries to carry on conversation with those around him
"Nice to hear that life was good to you. I have to go back to my duty." Ameiko tells and goes back behind the bar.
"Hey Jimmy. Who's going to be your best man?" Abomentolor asks.
"Good question..." Jimmy replies rubbing his chin, "Do I really need one?"
"I've never married. So I can't tell if you need one. But the marriages I attended had one. And the speech was always one of the highlights of the ceremony." Abomentolor replied.
"You sound like you might be angling for the position..." Jimmy says with a chuckle
"You were asking what might be missing. Doesn't mean I want to do that." Abomentolor replies. "The best man is also the one throwing the bachelor party, isn't he?"
"If we are going all that way Gwen needs bridesmaids too doesn't she?"
"Yes, in pink dresses!" Gwenhwyfar replies.
"Who would be your maid of honor?" Jimmy asks somewhat un-expecting the passion Gwen displays
"I have no clue. I know of no one to do that." Gwenhwyfar replies. Of course she thinks of Tauriell, but is not really comfortable with her doing that. Besides she for sure wouldn't want the cute/pink look.
"How about the lady you used to help out here? What's her name again..."
"You mean Hannah?" Gwenhwyfar asks. "I know her as a neighbour and worked for her for a month or so. But an ex-boss is not exactly what I imagine for that."
"You two seemed close... We don't really have all that many friends outside of Abomentollor and Tauriell do we?"
"Yes, our social circle is rather small." Gwenhwyfar agrees.
"We travel a bit too much to be able to make friends easily."
"We could always put some of the kids from the orphanage in pink dresses. They would probably like it." Gwenhwyfar suggests.
"That's why flower girls are a thing though." Jimmy replies after thinking for a bit.
"Isn't it time already to get back to Father Zantus?" Gwenhwyfar asks.
"I believe it is." Jimmy replies finishing off his drink and standing to pull out Gwen's chair
"Then let's go." Gwenhwyfar replies, downs the rest of her drink and gets up. "You pay?" she asks Jimmy.
"Gladly." Jimmy says with a smile as he stands and makes his way to the bar. "So what do I owe you?" he asks
"That one's on the house. But don't forget to bring the coin when you fetch me tomorrow." Ameiko replies while polishing a glass.
"Thank you." Jimmy says before continuing "Can you tell me who I need to speak to about the glassworks here?"
Ameiko raises a brow. "Why are you asking?"
"We need glass made. Why else would I need to speak to the glassworks?"
"Maybe you want to buy them. But if you want glass made, you just go there and ask in the office." Ameiko replies.
"Thank you." Jimmy says heading back to the table. "While we are here, why don't we check out the glass works?" He asks Gwen
