"The hot chocolate sounds good. Could I have that, some eggs, hotcakes, and sausage please?"

"Of course," Hadrinn says, heading off to get the couple's food and drinks. He returns a short moment later with two mugs and two plates of food.

Jerrica holds open the door to Jericho's for everyone and looks around. "Looks like we got here first."

"Good, we can pick a good place to sit." Sig says looking for a good spot.

Jerrica points at one of the larger round tables near the fire. "How about that one?"

Rosa nods, "That looks like a nice warm place to sit. I'm sure your friends will appreciate it after walking out in this cold. I have to be honest and say that I'm a little nervous too.....but different places and people always make me a little nervous....at first."

Frostine's eyes get a little large as she sees the size of the portions and smells the food and drink, "Oh my."

"That looks perfect." Sig says, taking Jerrica's hand and leading the way to the table. "They should probably be here soon"

"I'm sure they will," Jerrica says, sitting down at the table. "Do you want to order now or wait until they show up?"

"I can say for sure that this town is quite hospitable," Thorgr says, eyeing his food with a satisfied grin.

She nods before digging into the delicious meal with gusto. After a few bites, she tests the hot chocolate drink to see if it had cooled enough. Taking a couple of sips, she nearly melts into her chair. Licking her lips she says, "This is the most delicious beverage I think I've ever tasted."

Giving Jerrica a smile she says, "Well...I'm not starving to death or anything, so if you'd like to wait for your friends...we can."

Once Vishanti is finished dressing, Derika goes to her and puts her arms around her before giving her a tender kiss. Moving some of her dark locks of hair back from her beautiful face she says, "You are the most beautiful woman on this entire planet and I love you very much. I'm very grateful that you're in my life Vishanti, I just felt like I should say that." She then holds her for a brief moment before pulling back, "Okay, I'm sure Jerrica is waiting for us by now."

After bundling up they head out into cold. Getting to the common house, she makes sure that they kick the snow off of their boots before entering.

Going into Jerrico's, she sees her friends by the fire and lets out a sigh of relief at being near warmth. Giving them a wave, they head over to the table. As she approaches she gives them a smile, "Eh Gods it's cold out there. I hope that wherever you're headed has heat so that you don't get sick. I'm sorry it took us a bit to get here, did we keep you waiting long?"

Jerrica shakes her head. "Just a few minutes. We decided to wait for you before we ordered."

Giving her friend a smile she pulls out Vishanti's chair for her before sitting next to her, "Thanks, I'm glad we didn't keep you waiting too long then. So, how was your night?"

"It was nice," Jerrica says. "Kinda getting used to being in a stable place...for now, anyway."

She nods, "Yeah...I know what you mean. I'm sorry you have to leave again so soon....but maybe it will turn out to be something really good. You never know what life has in store for you." She says, giving Vishanti's hand a squeeze and smiling up into her face.

Jerrica smiles, glancing at Sig. "I've found that out already."

Derika's eyes seem to mist up a little as she watches her friend, who is so obviously in love with the woman next to her.

Nodding she says, "I'm so happy for you. It's obvious that you've met some really special people, and I'm just....I'm glad that you've found your place, ya know? I....I was worried when we woke up in that strange place and we couldn't find you."

Derika's stomach growls loudly and she blushes.

Rosa just sits quietly. They were obviously close friends, and she didn't know what to say.

"Yeah, it was pretty scary waking up and being in an unfamiliar place," Jerrica says. "But I stumbled upon some pretty good people."

She looks over at Sig and Dagmarr. "They are just as important to me as you two are, Derika."

Jericho comes to the table. "We've got fresh coffee. What can I get for y'all?"

Derika nods, "I know, and I'm glad you found them. I'm still getting used to having a sister I knew nothing about....not to mention a mother and father that didn't give me up willingly, and two younger siblings. It's been kind of a head spinning kind of week or so for me. I know that they'll keep you safe and that we'll see you again."

Looking up after Jericho comes to the table she says, "The coffee sounds really good. Could I have some sugar and cream or milk for it please?"

Looking up at the kindly looking man she says, "I'll have some coffee too please...but I'll just take it plain."

"Just water for me, please," Jerrica says.

Thorgr sips on his coffee. "You might want to have a couple of those, since I don't know what we'll have when we get where we're going."

She nods enthusiastically, "Most definitely."

"I'll go with coffee, please." Sig says before taking Jerrica's hand in hers and impulsively bringing it to her lips, eyes dancing with love for the rogue. "If there's one thing I've found, is that once you set on the past of an interesting life, it brings you what you need when you need it most. Even if you had no idea what you needed."

Vishanti smiles at Sig's words, "Or already had it, and just needed to open your eyes." she adds with a smile.

Dagmarr rubs her hand in the small of Rosa's back, sensing her feeling a little out of place. As Sig and Vishanti comment on the serendipity of finding love, she can't help smiling as she gazes at Rosa's beautiful face. "Truer words have never been spoken."

Derika shrugs and gives her love a smile, "Yup, and sometimes it hits you right between them." She says with a chuckle, "So, my love...what would you like to drink?" Looking over at Rosa she hopes they weren't making her feel uncomfortable again, but without really knowing her that well...she just didn't know what to say to make her feel more at ease.

"I think tea if possible." Vishanti replies.

As the others talk about finding each other and love, Rosa leans a little closer to Dagmarr, grateful for her love and silent reassurance. She didn't know why being around other people made her so nervous....it just did. While where she came from was packed with people....she was never this close with any of them. There were a couple good friends, but no one that she truly cared about....until Dagmarr came along. She never could explain it, but she just felt so comfortable with her....as if they had been made specifically for each other.

Looking from Dagmarr to the others she attempts to get up the courage to say something, "Sometimes....sometimes it just takes finding the one person that makes you feel like you're worth something, and it almost always happens when it's the last thing you're looking for." She then looks back down at the table as she waits to give Dagmarr a chance to tell him what she wants to drink as well.

"I'll have water please." Dagmarr says to Hadrinn. Her arm around Rosa in both comforting and protective manner, the cleric leans over to gently kiss the top of her love's head.

Jericho smiles at the group. "Be right back."

He returns a few moments later with everyone's drinks. "I've got hot cereal, some eggs and bread. What would you like?"

"I'll just have the hot cereal and bread please." She says, while slowly sipping on her coffee. As she leans into Dagmarr's embrace, Rosa gives her a little smile and stretches her head up slightly to give her love a kiss on the cheek in return.

Giving Rosa a nod she says, "That sounds pretty good. Could I try that please along with a couple of scrambled eggs?" Derika puts some cream and sugar into her coffee before stirring it and sipping on it slowly.

"Eggs and bread for me."

"Eggs and bread sound good." Dagmarr responds, giving Rosa a little smile.

"I think I'll go with the cereal and eggs." Sig says, taking a sip of her coffee.

Jericho whistles as he heads back to the kitchen and starts cooking.

Rosa goes back to being quiet after Jericho takes their orders. She leans against Dagmarr and sips on her coffee.

Looking over at Jerrica and her friends she says, "Well, it seems that we're pretty much settling here....for now at least, so if you ever want to come back for a visit, or if you guys decide to settle here at some point...well, I just really wanted to let you know that we'd be here, whatever you decide to do."

"It'll depend on what happens, but we're open to the possibility," Jerrica says, squeezing Sig's hand.

Giving them a smile she says, "It would be nice to be able to stay close. Besides...we're going to be getting married in a few months and I'd kinda like it if you and Sig were there. Everyone is invited of course, but I wouldn't want to make your other friends feel like they have to go if they don't want to." She says while putting an arm around Vishanti and sipping on her coffee.

Halfway through her breakfast, Frostine asks the serving boy for another hot chocolate.

Putting her coffee down she sits up a little and looks over at Derika, "It's....it's nothing against you or your fiance, and I'm really not trying to be non sociable or appear cold or whatever....it's just....I'm not used to all this. Until I met Dagmarr, I only had a couple of friends and the place we were living in was....well, you were more likely to be killed than to make friends. This is just different for me, and takes some getting used to. I am happy for you and Ms. Vishanti though, and I hope you have many wonderful happy years together. We'll try to come back here so Ms. Jerrica can be here for your wedding....if...if that's what she wants." She says, getting quiet and hoping she hadn't spoken out of turn.

Giving Rosa an understanding smile she says, "It's okay...I never thought it was anything personal. If that's how life was where you came from, then I'm glad you're here now and with someone who obviously cares about you very much." Derika gives Dagmarr a nod of her head.

"I'll be sure to be here," Jerrica says. "I'm not going to force anyone to come along."

Nyder brings another hot chocolate for Frostine and gives her a kindly smile before tending to other customers.
