Ah, well, that is, I certainly - uhm - I - I'm very flattered, but I - oh deer, pig, and fermented berries you say? I'll see what we have available! She stammers, her face a deep crimson. She makes her way back into the kitchen area for several minutes before she comes back out.

We do have some berries fermenting that we were going to use for a liqueur. I've sent someone out to retrieve some for you two. We have both deer and pig available. I have some of each roasting, and we have some fresh butchered that hasn't been seasoned or heated yet if you would prefer it raw. She says, blushing still at Ada's treatment.

I'll take deer. My beautiful princess who I have yet to get your name.
Jan 2, 2017 8:47 pm
It's - that is - I'm called Ravaonna Onyxarm, daughter of Pethand Onyxarm, chief brewmaster of Willowfall, proprietor of the Blinking Dragon.

"I will take lamb or boar. And ale."
Jan 4, 2017 5:02 pm
"Raw, if possible."
Jan 4, 2017 5:07 pm
"Raw? Why don't you find and kill it yourself? Fresher that way. Who knows how long they keep the carcasses."
Jan 4, 2017 5:22 pm
"Convenience," answers Baraq. "Free."
Jan 4, 2017 5:27 pm
"Pigeon pie with raspberries and truffles." Catriona says absently, her attention on her new pet, clearly forgetting she is not at the family manor. "Or a roast goose stuffed with figs. And I will take a small glass of sweet wine."
Jan 4, 2017 5:46 pm
"Free? Hmmm. Bring it all. I will eat my fill."
Jan 4, 2017 10:05 pm
Ah Ravaonna Onyxarm name worthy of worship, daughter of Pethand Onyxarm such a man to create such beauty, chief brewmaster of Willowfall maker of excellent Ale, proprietor of the Blinking Dragon the best establishment and the Fairest Maiden of Willowfall. Please bring me your favorite foods and anything you require me to do for you. I will bring the heavens to earth and travel through the many levels of the Inferno to complete what ever you desire. Ada goes from standing in here chair to kneeling before Ravaonna and kissing her hands multiple times.

Rava blushes furiously at the attentions from Ada. She pulls her hand furtively away and escapes to the kitchen, hollering orders out as she goes.

Over the next fifteen minutes, a veritable parade of food floods out of the kitchen. One giant platter of roast boar, still steaming hits the middle of the table. A second table is hauled out and lined with a heavy paper before a freshly killed but not butchered deer is dropped on the table by two stout dwarven men. A second platter of spiced venison and berries is placed on the main table. A halfling scampers in, carrying a pail of berries with the tart smell of fermentation about them, which is placed by the whole deer. Rava returns, her hands full of a plate of pie.

Excuse me, ma'am, we don't - ah - we don't exactly have pigeon pie, or truffles. But we do have a turkey pie with a tart berry sauce and potent cheese if that would suit? And I do have a bottle of elvish ice wine, if you'd like that. It's a sweet honey wine, and runs 12 gold a bottle.

I grab two plates of the roast boar and set it on the floor, ripping it apart with my claws and tearing into it with my teeth. Since joining this group I have never eaten better. Perhaps I have made a wise decision to pursue this strange task after all.

Baraq tips over the chair so that it provides better stability, and perches upon it. Though the aarakocra is likely unaware of the relative privacy of this table, no doubt other patrons are thankful to be spared the barbarian's eating habits. Cooked meat is always edible, but Baraq prefers something with a little more blood, and she tears into the carcass with her beak, holding it down with her hands.

Catriona blinks at Rava, momentarily confused as to why payment would be discussed. Then she remembers where she is (or rather, isn't). With a sidelong glance at Xavena and Baraq's rather alarming table manners she is further jolted back to the present.

"Please, call me Cat. she says with sincere warmth. "Yes, that pie smells lovely, thank you!" She pauses, then adds, "Uhm, perhaps a small handful of nuts or grain for Chuck-Chuck?" indicating the squirrel.

She pays Rava for the elvish ice wine. "Would you pour for us?" she asks Rolen sweetly like a courtier at a banquet. In truth, she was never permitted wine at the manor (nor attendance at any banquets or balls).

Rava smiles at Catriona's request. Yes of course - Cat. We have a whole bushel of nuts available behind the bar. Give me a moment, and Chuck-Chuck will be able to eat his fill. She runs off quickly, returning with a small tin dish filled with a heaping scoop of shell-coated nuts.

That Catriona why is she taking my princess from me Sitting next to Baraq, Xavena, and Aera. She angrily rips a piece of meat and being to eat it angrily while tapping her War axe against the floor. Looking over at the three Can you believe her? Rav is supposed to be my princess. She slams her cup of Ale after chugging it.

"I'm not familiar with your groundling customs," Aera chirps, "Why is this so bad? Do you intend on mating with the one called Rav?"

Baraq pulls her beak from within the carcass, regarding Ada with inquisitive curiosity. She makes a few clicks, then says, "Did not hear statement to be believed," before returning her attention to the meal.
