She smiled at the explanation of a sleep-over, as it seemed to have passed the test! She hadn't come across as creepy or perverted or confusing. “{Don't worry, there are no requirements, you can come by my room in the keep whenever you want to~}” She replied, happy that her excuse had worked. Only after she spotted the questioning looks in Hestia's eyes (and potentially Retili's) did she realise what she'd just said. Had she really just? Yes. She breathed in deeply, realising it was time for some self-reflection. However, somehow, Ringo looked more adorable than ever
Sadly enough, Aria didn't seem to think so. As she asked her what they'd been talking about. “Oh, I eh...” She didn't really want to lie to her own sister, but she had no clue how to explain it in a way that wouldn't cause misunderstandings either. “We were just talking about helping her adjust to life here.” That wasn't untrue. Just unspecific. For now, it would have to do.
Besides, far more fun topics were to be discussed right now, with Ringo. “{That's called an apple pie. They're normally eaten on special occasions, this time to celebrate your arrival here and the placement of your shrine.}” She decided that was the best way to explain it. As she felt the tails brushing her, she could only agree with Ringo. That was hot indeed. Luckily enough, she could [Focus B] her mind out of the gutter and [Mind Shield B] to keep her thoughts straight for a bit longer afterwards. “{You might want to slow down a bit, or you'll upset your stomach.}” She stated, upon witnessing Ringo scarfing down food like she hadn't eaten in ages.
A chuckle escaped her lips when Ringo apologised. “{Don't worry, we don't. We only bring out this much food on special occasions, like today. It's okay if you can't finish it, we'll leave it for later.}” Most of the food would probably still be good enough later today. Her time as a baroness hadn't made her forget her time scraping by for food, so she'd make sure nothing would go to waste.
That's when Regula heard the clang and felt the shock. With some [Tremor-sense B] on her boots, it was easy to pinpoint it to the forge. “Someone's doing some peculiar work at the forge.” She replied to Glacier's question. “I can't sense anything troubling though. Whatever it was, it seems like it was harmless.” That hadn't stopped Aria from teleporting out and going after it, although that probably couldn't hurt. With Aria checking it out, she'd know that even if she'd been wrong and something did happen, it'd get sorted out.
That said, Regula noticed that not only Retili, but also Ko, was putting money on the counter. What was the point of Regula trying to treat people to a meal if they were going to pay for stuff regardless? She sighed. Even with her current status, it seemed folk still deemed her poor enough not to be able to live up to such promises. Perhaps she should find something more profitable in the barony and pay herself a wage or something? It'd be something she might want to discuss with Retili or Amanda later. She sighed, as she stood up as well. “I guess I'd better leave toward the smithy as well.” She looked at Ringo. {“I guess we'll be checking out what happened at the smithy first. We'll get to placing the shrine afterwards.”} She promised.
It made her look at Glacier. “It seems I'll be heading for the smithy... I... don't know if you're good with the heat or not, but if you're not, I'm afraid I can't offer you more hospitality by inviting to join me.” It felt a bit bad to leave such a unique guest on their own, with little to do, but the day was starting to slowly get more and more chaotic.
“Ah, if you're looking to entertain a guest!” Inola spoke up, looking at Galcier. “I've got a great offer, sir, would it be too extreme for me to assume you're quite capable of making ice appear?” She spoke, a bit of an eager glint in her eyes. “I've heard rumours of people in the Duchy eating something called 'shaved ice', which uses bits of ice with sweet syrups and I'd love to try making it myself, but it's near impossible to get my hands on some good ice outside of winter. If you'd be willing to make some ice for me, I'd be ever so great-full~”
Regula feared Inola might just try to use Glacier, but she was distracted by spotting Ko as he was walking out. “Hold up!” She called out to him, catching up to the canine man. She'd get closer and speak a bit more silently. “Considering we're already heading for the forge, I'll get you a new blade soon. You'll just owe me one, which I'll claim the moment there's more privacy.” She said, a hint of [Tail Freak] could be sensed when she mentioned 'owe me one' in that sentence. It was clear what she was talking about. She wasn't willing to let her
That said, Regula had barely left the Keg when she spotted the next distraction (Gunhild). A woman more than twice her own size. Although she'd been planning to head for the smithy, she could hardly continue. How could she ignore such a giant
Hestia looked up as well, at the feeling of a tremble through-out town. “That.. gave me a fright.” She'd state, looking the part. “For a moment, I worried we were being attacked!” She'd want to strike up a conversation with the Zentox about possible bug invasions or east empire attacks, but he was already heading off. Most others were soon to follow, making her sigh. Well, at least she'd served them and they'd probably have a lot more rumours to talk and gossip about incoming! Tonight might be fun and good for business.

Gobán wasn't one to sleep in. Normally he'd be up early and working at the first break of dawn. Today had been a tad bit different. He'd been working from six in the morning until eleven in the evening yesterday, trying to get new orders up and running now that a lot of the barony's buildings were being fixed up. He'd rarely felt that tired in his entire career. Somehow, Aileen had been rather distracted lately and her aid hadn't been as great as usual. Even the kid he'd offered her hand too, Ryan, seemed to have less time available. It's why he himself had worked until he could work no more and then slept for more than ten hours in a row. Until his peaceful slumber was rudely disturbed by his entire house shaking along with the sound of a loud clang. He grumbled, getting up, getting dressed and dragging himself downstairs, ready to check out the forge.
As he arrived, the spotted Amanda. “Hm.” He grumbled, which was probably somewhere between 'good morning' and 'what in the world did you just do' if the intonation was anything to go by. However, his eyes soon went to the hammer. “Hmmm.” He stated, this time more of an inquiry. It had clearly managed to grab his attention almost immediately. So much so, in fact, that he didn't even seem to notice all the others running into the forge one after the other.

“Alright..?” She replied questioningly, as Teuihua told her the produce was for Zeouli. Still, she brought it over to her. To her surprise, the other construct started to make weird noises and eventually burned it in a weird yellow flame. “Wait... what did she just do... and why? It's different form that fuel-thing you do, isn't it?” She asked, somewhat curious about these weird beings. “Oh, right, the baroness told me to have her try these as well.” She pulled out some cornbread.
As for his aid, she smiled. “Thank you~ You're a true gentleman!” She wished he was hers, rather than the baroness'. She wonder if she could order one of these for herself. That'd be nice~ That said, she was surprised by Ryan suddenly pulling her away. “Whaaa...?” Had his date with Aileen gone so bad that he was desperate for a replacement? Was she going to be proposed too? Ah, Gobán would kill the both of them!!! What was this madness? “I-I don't..” She started, however, she could soon breathe easy again. He was just asking for dating advice. Pfew. That gave her a fright. “I'm sure you should just talk, you're way overthinking...” aaaand he was running off. She wouldn't blame him though. That was a rather odd noise and tremor they could feel. Hopefully everything would be alright. She looked at Sven.

Sven shrugged at the questioning look from Amika. “No smoke, no cries of pain, no calls for help. Seems like a false alarm to me.” He stated. With the guards fully operational, he was sure they'd learn if this was serious or not soon enough, without rushing towards the noise.

Aldwin was peacefully sipping tea in his living room, as he wondered what his next step should be. He wished to firmer establish his authority as a mayor, but in order to do so, he'd need to decrease the influence of those pesky advisors. That said, his pondering was roughly shaken by an actual shake, combined with an awful noise. It nearly made him still tea from his teacup! “Oho~” The old man chuckled. “That felt like something new is developing.” He wondered what it was, or how he could use it for his own goals, but for now, he figured he'd wait it out. It'd probably be the talk of the town in no-time.

He was just carving his masterpiece, one of the juiciest tenderloins he'd seen in a long while, when an abrupt shaking of the earth and ear-piecing clang made his butcher's knife move ever so slightly and cut right through the wrong tendon. “By the gods! I'll put whomever did that on my chopping block!” He called out in anger, before cooling off a bit. Perhaps his butchering work could still be saved, but he'd definitely file a complaint later. Whomever did this was distracting him from his art.

Saffron was peacefully stacking shelves in her store, when a rumble made all the vials and bottles on them cling and clang. Some of them even rang in tune with the loud clang. “Oh.” She uttered. Her mind drifted for a bit. An attack? An explosion? A giant landing? A comet? There could be so many fun things to go check out~ But alas, these were her working hours. Her exterior remained stoic, as she confirmed that nothing was broken and returned to her job of stacking shelves. If only this type of stuff happened in her free time. It'd have been so much mor efun.

Ezekiel sighed. “Ethel, please, you can't just keep expecting your armour to keep your safe. You have to put more work in your actual defence. Keep up your shield, or try to dodge and block more.”
Having been knocked into the ground just prior, she felt too ashamed to response. Lucky enough, she soon had an excuse. Being so nice and cosy with the ground, with her face flat onto the soil, she felt it very well. “I hath sensed it! Thee dragons areth attacking! The earthen giants haveth awoken! The Stonewall shalt shake! Thou conviction shalth rumble! Yet I shalt...”
“Fifty push-ups. That's what you shall do. There are enough guards going around, so if it's serious, we'll know about it soon enough.” He spoke firmly, figuring that if he were to let go of Ethel now, she'd never get back to proper training. The latter took priority, as he couldn't keep getting away with having his guards be unable to live up to any standards that'd be appreciated by the Marshall.

She'd been in her room this morning, reading through a new book. It was a story about some a halfling investigator solving crimes in an underwater city. It was not the type of thing she'd typically read, but she was rather invested in it. It's why she only looked up for a bit when she felt a tremble. “Hmmm... I wonder if that construct is getting rowdy?” She asked herself, looking out the window. Nothing seemed to be out of order, so for now. She debated moving out to go look, but seeing how nothing was on fire and no further trembles followed, it likely wasn't too bad. Perhaps Regula had misfired her gun? Either way, she'd get back to her book.
Stables in Stonewall

He'd been hanging out in the stables a lot. Micah had tought him to appreciate it more than before, even though the Elven man was long-gone. The silent, the quiet, the peace. Stables were great. The sudden tremor threatened to ruin it all for a moment. When there wasn't a second one following, he breathed out in relief. He wasn't against working, but he was against working with many people involved. Like in the city. Luckily enough, it seemed like he could keep relaxing for a while longer.

She sighed. “I'm sorry Aileen, I really can't give you any advice. I'm still single for a reason~ However, I'm sure miss Rosalia, or maybe Hestia, would be willing to help you out. All I can offer you is some good tea and a listening ear~”
“That's.. that's alright. I think I just needed that. To talk to someone and to drink some tea. Thank you I...”
The two of them were caught off guard by a sudden tremor and noise coming from the city. “What.. what happened?” She'd asked, a bit spooked.
“Probably nothing too serious. Maybe they blew up some rocks as a foundation for a new building? They were planning something just outside the walls, I think.” That's when something came to mind. “Well, perhaps next time you see Ryan, you should mention the odd tremor and use it as a conversation starter. That might make it a lot easier to just start talking right?”
Aileen silently nodded. Perhaps... perhaps that might just work.
