A Spot of Hogswatch Trouble, Pt. 2

[[from here]]

The next morning, Urquhart awakes to fine bed-linen and the unique shade of cool bright light that promises a sunny, snowy day outside.

He lifts his head, pulling his long blond hair free from the pillow where it had remained as it was, tangled from last night, while he'd been sleeping.

Moist is still asleep and rather tangled in the sheets, witches keep chasing him through his dreams.

He twitches at the touch and mutters something in Uberwaldian, trying to find his way out.

Moist finally wakes up and his accent is stronger as he says,

"Mm, morning."
morethanprops: (trust me)

[personal profile] morethanprops 2010-12-10 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh yes, ladies to charm and men to bargain with. I've heard the ham from this area is quite good."
morethanprops: (got the canary)

[personal profile] morethanprops 2010-12-10 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"With fresh eggs and good coffee along with some nice gossip. I'm going to take a bath, you order and charm those maids again."
morethanprops: (real smile)

[personal profile] morethanprops 2010-12-10 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"Then clearly we'll have to have a bath together before we face the world."
morethanprops: (plan going well)

[personal profile] morethanprops 2010-12-10 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Moist comes up behind him and leans on his back before he runs the bath,

"I love a fresh snowfall. It always seems hopeful."

Later in the day, Moist enters the main room of the inn with a few bags and a dusting of snow on his wool overcoat.

The patrons watch him since he seems have an almost smile on his face, but the pout that hides it makes it hard to know for sure.
morethanprops: (Respectable with glasses)

[personal profile] morethanprops 2010-12-11 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
He gives her a nervous smile,

"Yes, yes, bring it by the fire. Is my man around here?"
morethanprops: (keep talking)

[personal profile] morethanprops 2010-12-11 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Once he's found a seat as close to the fire as possible, he sits down,

"Wine, your finest mind and tell him to not spend all his time back there."
morethanprops: (talking with a drink)

[personal profile] morethanprops 2010-12-11 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Moist makes a sound that could almost be a grump and starts on his wine,

"Then just bring my lunch. He always talks too much."
morethanprops: (quality fraud)

[personal profile] morethanprops 2010-12-11 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"Good, good,"

He looks down and starts eating, warily looking over all the patrons. Apparently shopping is quite tiring.
morethanprops: (don't look at me)

[personal profile] morethanprops 2010-12-11 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
An older woman comes up to him and gives him a long look, she's wearing the hat of her office and Moist visibly blanches,

"Don't you cause any trouble here for a girls, young man."

"Yes, ma'am, I won't do that."

She nods and walks away and now the covert stares just grow.
