Charity follows Tesia and Rhadaya back home.
"If you're tired, we can talk tomorrow," Esme says.
As the crowd dissipates and Barclay and Brother Ulli leave, Sādhanā turns to Pandi."So...it usually isn't this eventful here. How are you doing? Adjusting to everything?"
"Yeah, I'm thinking of joining the local watch," Pandi says. "I just need to get my own place at some point."
Konstantyná puts a hand on Toni's shoulder. "You did well. I see Rikali and Drago. Perhaps we should speak to them."
Toni nods and heads towards Drago, while Konstantyná calls Rikali over.
Giving Esme a hug she nods, "Yeah...that would probably be best. I'm fairly worn out and I still need to take the horses and cart back to the stables. I just didn't want you to think I forgot....oh....oh...darn my forgetful brain. Tomorrow is Jelks and Michaels wedding. They're having it at Sunset if you want to come and then we can talk after the reception that they're gonna have at Hadrinn's. I'm not sure where they're having it though....but I'll let you know if you want to go." She closes her mouth, unsure of what else to say.
"Not a bad idea, it's pretty clear that good skilled people are needed here just as much as out fighting to help the rest of the land. At some point you might want to approach someone about it. Gerard and Amelie over there are both members of the night watch if you're looking for someone to talk to about what it's like here. And getting a place, we'll talk to Barclay about getting you set up. You're pretty much in the home of second chances here, and we're happy to have you." the magus says with a smile.
"I'll cook something up for you. How about you, Cutie? Hungry?"
"Not at the moment." Cyna answers keeping herself professional in from of her sister. Turning to Fae she asks. "How did the investigating go?"
"It's good that Tesia didn't go on her own. It seems like they're waiting for you and apparently there was a pit fiend standing guard at the caves. I couldn't see as much as I'd like but... to be blunt, it's suspicious to say the least." Fae answers.
Once the water boils in the kettle she pours some in a cup and adds the tea bag like Auntie Priya showed her. After letting it sit in the water for about two minutes she adds some of the honey and cream to it she likes and sits down at the table with an audible sigh.
Esme returns the hug. "Go on and get some rest. We'll talk tomorrow at some point."
Pandi nods. "I guess I'll go talk to them while they're here."
She walks over to Gerard and Amélie. "Umm, hello...I was interested in joining the watch."
She nods, "Okay, see you sometime tomorrow evening then. You just want me to come to the house, or did you want me to meet you somewhere?"
Sienna goes to the kitchen and starts preparing some deer for Fae.
"You can just come here," Esme says. "I'll ask Divitia about Michael and Jelks' wedding since she works with them."
Gerard looks at the elf who just approached. "Well, Marcel is usually in charge of that. I haven't seen him lately though."
"Oh," Pandi says.
She nods, "Okay then, see you later Esme." She says before turning and heading back to the town square to get the horses and cart.
Reaching the square she goes to the cart and climbs up into the driver seat. She goes around the square to turn them and heads back to the stables. Once there she unhooks the horses from the cart and puts them back in their stalls with some fresh food and water, while leaving the cart outside of the stables where she found it.
Wiping her brow she turns and heads home.
"It's alright my Sweet," Drago replied as they watched. Taking not of Toni's attire, his curiosity was piqued.
When Toni and Konstantyná, he commented, "Well, those look rather fancy. I gather you're taking the position of Szef?"
Toni nods. "Tomorrow."

"There is a bit of a formal ceremony for the occasion, but you don't have to be present if you're busy," Konstantyná says. She then turns to Rikali. "I know Toni has requested that you no longer be her Midwife, but I would appreciate it if you stayed in Valwick. Laenid will require a Midwife and I believe you are the most qualified to be hers."
Getting home she turns a lamp on low so she can make her way through the house. Before getting to their room she takes off her sword and says, "I am safe." Taking the armor in her hands along with her sword, she puts her armor and weapons up in the closet before setting down the lamp to get ready for bed. Turning she sees her husband passed out on the bed with Celine curled up next to him and sighs. It was really cute the way she was curled up to him, but if she kept letting Celine sleep in the bed with them she'd never get her to sleep in her own bed. She was just too tired to deal with it at the moment though. She would have to see the carpenter in town tomorrow about getting her a small bed that she might like to sleep in. Shuffling over to the other side of the bed she puts out the lamp and lies down. She would have to see Asha about some more comfortable clothes soon. Curling onto her side she keeps one wing against her back as she lays the other over her husband, while wrapping an arm around their little girl and covers them up.
In just a few minutes, soft snoring comes from the warpriestess as she falls into a deep restful sleep as she's worn out by the days activities.
Rikali sighs. "I would rather return to my homeland, Konstantyná. I appreciate the offer, but my place is not here."
Drago extended his hand to Toni, "I pray you're better at it then I was."
Toni shrugs. "I think you did alright. There's more than one Summoner and one Midwife these days."

"As you wish," Konstantyná says. "I wish you safe travels and long life."
Rikali nods. "You as well."
She departs and heads back to the Common House.
Getting into the house she closes and locks the door after Rhy and Charity come in. Hanging her cloak up on a rack as they walk in she goes to the kitchen to eat a little bit before going to bed. Taking out a little fruit and cheese she cuts off a couple of slices of cheese and an apple before sitting down at the table with it and a tankard of water. She sighs as she tries to eat a little.
Konstantyná turns back to Drago as Rikali departs. "Toni will require the book and compass, so please return them soon."
"I'm going to head to bed," Charity says before going to her room, changing and crawling into the bed.
She nods, "Rest well Charity, tomorrow is a new day."
"I'll be sure to do so in the morning," Drago said to the Midwife. Turning to Toni, "Are you still at the lighthouse?"

Toni shakes her head. "I am at the tailor's shop for the moment. Speaking of which, I need to head back."
"I should probably check on Lucy," Konstantyná says. "Good night."
The Midwife turns and heads home.
Rajni just sits at the table and sips on her tea, taking the time to relax and breath after what had turned out to be a very busy and draining day.
Ieyasu brings Ammon's food and drink to him.
"Wel we can see if we run into him in the morning and let him know of your interest. I am Amelie and this is Gerard. C'est un.....it is aleasure to meet you."
As Arista goes to take the horses home and Pandi heads over to talk to
Amélie and Gerard, Sādhanā turns toward home, walking across town to her and Ylrhea's home.
Ammon respectfully bowed his head, "Thank you Good Sir. How much do I owe you?"
Once he finished his meal and paid the bill, the Catfolk headed back to the common house. He noted the commotion going on in the town square, but continued on his way. It's not really my business. He thought to himself.
Getting back to his room, Ammon took his bedroll and laid it out on top of the bed. Then he balanced the book he'd been reading on the door handle, placed his shield by the end table, and finally crawled into his bedroll. After offering up a quick prayer to Sarenrae, the former Mercenary went to sleep.
"Good night Konstantyná."
Offering his arm to Yulia, "Well shall we head home? It's been a day."
After drinking some water and eating a little bit, the drained druidess went upstairs to cuddle with her wife. Taking off everything she slips into her warmer sleepwear before crawling into the bed. Putting an arm around Rhy she pulls her close, "Mmmm...I love you Rhy." She says as she already sounds sleepy.
Settling blissfully into her wife's arms Rhadaya sighs softly. "I love you too Tes. With every breath in my body."
She smiles as Rhy snuggles closer to her. She lightly kisses the crown of her head while closing her eyes, and gives into blissful and peaceful sleep. She always fell asleep so easily with the love of her life in her arms.
"Indeed it had," Yulia says. "Some sleep would be nice."
Pandi nods. "I'm Pandi. It's nice to meet you both as well. I suppose I'll see you around then."
Elena yawns. "I think it's time for sleep."
Ylrhea looks up as Sadhana walks in the door. "How'd everything go?"
