Poor Little Meferton
-
_Poor little Meferton is a small Romani child who is an orphan, but is being raised by the camp. Poor little Meferton's favorite pasttime is to sit near the fires and listen to complaints and suggestions… why? Because that is what Poor Little Meferton does best.
So... let's tell Poor Little Meferton about ideas and suggestions around the camp, shall we?_
-
Meferton stares at Elor for awhile…. then suggests simply...
Try buying a house.
-
Elor sits by Meferton one day, whining on about how he keeps losing his stuff.. and how he'd like a nice box with a lock to keep his stuff so he doesn't constantly need to haul it around. But where to find a box like that?
-
Belade sits down next to him, just having returned from a patrol in the spider woods, her armor scratched in places.
She complains to him a bit about how the spiders in her time were bigger and stronger, and about how the skinny ones of nowadays aren't a challengy anymore. She then tells him a story of how she and some others managed to beat a spider as big as a house, by getting it to cocoon itself.
-
Meferton is seen following Penny around a short while later, the poor child having devoured the pie and drank the entire bottle of wine in one sitting. What follows next is loud singing from Meferton, none of it really in tune, before a horrible mess on Penny's boots… forewarned by a pause in the singing, and a "My tummy don't feel too...." The next day finds Meferton again by the fires, sleeping the day away and waiting for someone to speak to.
-
In one of her passings through camp, Penny leaves a slice of gnomish pie and a bottle of Romani wine for Meferton, a bright smile on her face.
-
Meferton has been quite bored as of late.. and taken to snitching food from the occasional passerby before returning to the fire…
