Exton

Pandora overheard Nick and sent word to the bar to fetch free drinks and a tray of wings and meat pies for the group that had just settled at a large table.  One wondrous night for Valentine's and now it was back to matters at hand; and tonight Nick and the boys scored points for the good guys.

Pandora took a moment while Ob was involved in hearing all the updates from Tori... and slipped away to leave a message for Silk... "Hello, its Pandora, I need to speak to you regarding some troubling dreams of mine; I'd appreciate if we could get together; preferably when Ob is not around." Her message was pretty cryptic, but she figured Silk would pick up her thoughts once she knew there was an issue... and she'd come ready to talk.

Pandora sighed, and put aside her worry. She headed to the table where Alise and the others talked; she could hear footsteps overhead as the children kept the nanny busy... and thanked the Goddess that they had such a wonderful nanny to deal with the rambunctious group.

"Wow, did you ever think we would actually catch one of the ghouls?... I'm just sorry we couldn't get him alive to lead us to the others, but self defense first... Nick and the patrol had their hands full." They discuss the capture for a few minutes; but the women really didn't want to think long on those horrors...and soon they were discussing Ruarc's nameday and  what manner of things would be needed to accomodate the Fae dignitaries that might appear.

Pandora didn't worry greatly about food, for the Fae among them had talked with Monty and the menu was well planned... but she was not sure if there were any other needs to be put in their rooms.

Star had demanded the ceremony itself to be held outdoors in the woods; but with the ever present threats to Ruarc they would return later to the tavern to eat and imbibe all the mead necessary to such an occasion.

They were all in agreement that being a Viking celebration ,it should be decorated  with natural greens and things of the forest, in keeping with Stars wishes... Pandora had already talked with the florist about obtaining what was needed; and they were working on twining long garlands of greens and flowers to grace the table edges for the family and dignitaries.

Pandora planned to put Ruarc's beautiful carved Viking ship cradle on a pedestal decorated with a landscape of forest greens in front of the main table at a height where everyone could easily come up and greet him... and on each side she had planned a chair of wonderfully carved wood from her father's collection... very like small thrones... on which Star and Eric could sit beside their son. Garlands were to be brought down from the rafters to fall behind the cradle much like a drapery. The small Fae were very excited about that, for it afforded them front row seats.

Soon talk fell to hearing of Alise's treasures from Stoney and the children; and on they went to discussing all manner of womanly things.
