She nods, "I still need to learn how to cook, at least basic stuff, but...Dillon says he's not marrying me for my cooking skills. For now I'm okay with eating out or at mama's. You hot plenty of rations and stuff in case no one cooks right?" She asks as they head to the restaurant.
"Enough to get to Lysse and resupply if I need to," Toni answers as they reach the restaurant. She holds the door open for her friend then follows Rajni inside.
Hadrinn gives a polite nod to Rajni and Toni, then gestures to the crowded dining room where only a couple of table are empty. "Sit where you like. I'll be with you in a minute."
Giving Hadrinn a nod, Rajni picks a smaller table near the fireplace. Sitting down at the table she gives Toni a nod, "That's good, so...I wonder what he's made today. He always seems to come up with the most delicious dishes."
Toni looks around the crowded restaurant. "I don't know what he's made, but it must be popular."
Hadrinn approaches Rajni and Toni's table. "Sorry about that. We've just had a few more customers than usual today."
Rajni looks up and gives him a smile, "It's okay, I'm glad that business is going so well. So, what do you have today? It must be reallyh good to attract this kindx of attention."
Hadrinn shrugs. "A hunter brought in quite a few geese. Didn't think they'd be that popular."
Nodding she says, "I guess people get excited about having something different sometimes. If you have any left, I'd like to try it too."
"I'll give the goose a try too," Toni says.
"Sure thing," Hadrinn says. "There should be plenty left. Anything to drink?"
"It's my last day in town for a while, so...I'll take whatever's your strongest," Toni laughs.

Rajni wills herself to relax and gives Hadrinn a smile, "I'll just have some hot cider for now, thanks."
Looking over at Toni she gives her a smirk, "I better make sure I stay sober in case I have to help you home." She laughs a little nervously before adding, "It's totally fine, I just never really liked that stuff anyways. Was there anyone else you needed to talk to today?" She didn't want Toni thinking she minded her drinking in front of her. She always thought that stuff was gross, but she had plenty of friends who liked it and since Toni was always putting everyone else first, she deserved a chance to kick back and relax.

"I don't really drink either, but...it seemed like the occasion for it," Toni says. "I think I'm done talking to people for the day, so I don't need to worry about embarrassing myself."
She nods, "Yeah, you've been dealing with a lot of crap lately. You totally deserve a chance to just kick back and relax. I know I have a lot of stuff going on right now, but that doesn't mean I'm not gonna miss you. You're a really good friend, fun to hang with, and easy to talk to. No one can say for certain what tomorrow might hold, so I will just wish you the best and pray for your safe return." Rajni says with a smile as she looks at her friend.
Toni returns the smile. "I'll be back before you know it."

Hadrinn returns with two steaming mugs and places one in front of Rajni and one in front of Toni. "Those are both cider. One's alcoholic, the other isn't...but I forget which one is which."
He pauses for a few moments before guffawing. "No worries, you each have the right ones."
He then sets out the plates of goose in front of each woman. The plate is piled high with generous cuts of meat, roasted potatoes and carrots along with a small cup of gravy.
"Looks good," Toni says. "Thanks, Hadrinn."
Rajni nearly salivates at the smells coming from the pile of delicious looking food that Hadrinn sets in front of her, "Yeah...thank you." Rajni takes a tasting sip of her cider before digging into her food.

While keeping herself just barely above the tip of his shaft, Arista leans down and nibbles softly at the nape of his neck, before moving to his lips and kissing him softly as she slides slowly on top of him. She needed to touch every bit of him, and be touched in turn. Arista deepens the kiss, while running her fingers along his toned chest as she rides him.
Toni takes a few bites of her food before taking a drink of cider. "Mm, that's good."
She looks up at Rajni. "I figured I'd have one last breakfast with everyone at the house before heading out. Are you going to be at Dillon's tonight?"
Rajni shakes her head, "No...I don't think we had plans to spend tonight together. We ummm....we were together, last night." Rajni takes a few more sips of her hot cider to try and hide the obvious blush on her face, "After breakfast he said something about stopping by the house after work to check on me, so I invited him to stay for dinner. I...I thought it would be better if I was at home tonight, and I don't have to spend every night with him....yet." She says with a slight smirk as she enjoys some more of the succulent goose, taking bites of the vegetables inbetween. She shovels food in at an amazing rate for someone of her size.
Toni nods. "Good. I won't have to track you down then."

Rajni finishes the bite in her mouth and takes another drink of her cider before giving Toni a smile, "I'm not really that hard to find ya know? I'm either at home, at Dillon's, or at Halfpocket's. Besides, I wouldn't go running off the night before you're supposed to leave. I'm glad we at least get to spend a little time together before you have to go. This food really is good."

Toni gives a slight hum in agreement before devoting her attention to her meal. She polishes off the cider once her plate is clean. Toni lets out a satisfied sigh. "What else would you like to do before the day is over?"
Rajni finishes her meal and cider as well. She lets out a little satisfied sigh, "I'm not sure, there's really not much to do in this town. We could go for a walk, or just head back to the house. I have some cards at the house. We could play a game or something? What would you like to do? This is your last day here for a while afterall. Is there anything you would like to do?"

"Eh, it's a bit too cold for a walk," Toni remarks. "I guess we can go back to the house and play cards for a bit."
She puts five gold coins on the table. "Ready to go?"
Her legs feeling a little shaky as tremors of pleasure continue to pass through her, Arista collapses next to her husband, her head on his chest as she pants slightly, "Wow...that was amazing. I've really missed having these times with you." She says, letting out a little sigh as she knows that Celine would be waking up soon.
Nodding she gets up and puts her heavy hooded cloak back on, "Yeah, let's go." Rajni waves to Hadrinn as they head out of the restaurant. She holds the door for Toni and follows her out.
Rajni's a little quiet on their way back to the house, a multitude of things occupying her mind.
Alethiro runs his fingers through Arista's hair. "As have I. Let's take a moment to catch our breaths before cleaning up."
The elf draws his wife close and holds her against him.
Once they reach the tailor's shop, Toni holds open the door for Rajni. "After you."
Arista snuggles up to her husband and lets out a happy contented sigh.
Rajni gives her a nod and enters, "I'll be right back." Turning, she runs up the stairs to her room to get the playing cards.
Toni plops down on the couch and waits for Rajni.
Rajni returns a couple minutes later with the cards in her hands, "I just got these a couple days ago. I never really had anything like this before, so I haven't had much practice playing anything. Do you know any games?"
"A few," Toni answers. "We can play something easygoing or something more strategic."
