Meanwhile down at Z's farm...



  • There's a screaming and a carrying on at one of the halfling tents behind Z's farmhouse. Hins scramble to and fro, fetching the midwife, boiling water, carrying fresh blankets, and gossiping about cause of the commotion - Gears's very pregnant wife is finally having the twins!

    When all is said and done, the blankets boiled and the midwife carried, the halfling family grew by two: a son and a daughter. New mother Ginger is said to be doing well, and resting comfortably.



  • slipping out of the camp through the crags Tala brings in pieces of wood wrapped carefully against the weather. Upon finding Ginger and Gears finally she begins assembly of a halfling sized rocking chair.

    You did good Ginger. Treasure this time with them. They grow up so fast.

    The generally gruff woman seems undone by the children for a short time, but upon leaving the farm her face is set again in its usual mask

    "Well. Didn't expect that."



  • After hearing the news, Ronan makes his way over to Z's farm to see the babies. When allowed in, he gives his congratulations to the parents and is heard commenting:

    They definately have their mother's looks, so cute and innocent. That means they'll have their father's attitude in the future… what a joy that will be... mmh..

    When Ronan eventually leaves, he is heard mumbling about finding more ways to prevent deadly pranks..



  • @4d8a0d233f=Speedy_Z_:

    Your friendly neighborhood crafter and farmer, Z, hasn't been seen too much around town, as of late. Instead, he's been spending a significant amount of time working in the workshop in his barn.

    When asked about what he's working on, he simply shrugs and replies, "Nuthin'."

    Hmmm… :ninja:

    Once all the commotion has died down, Z quietly approaches the tent of Gears and Ginger and presents them with a finely crafted bassinet for their newborn child. A slight look of panic crosses his face when he sees that there are, in fact, two of them. Apparently, a possibility he hadn’t anticipated.

    After congratulating the new parents, he awkwardly excuses himself and hurries back to his workshop. The frantic sounds of a panicked crafter can be heard well into the night…

    //Congrats! 😄 :dance: :boogie: 👏 :w00t: :hug:

    Gears, hurrying towards the tent with an emergency bottle of fenberry wine, pauses to raise a brow at the hysterical Sela…then shakes his head, blinking a bit, and hustles on to be with the wife and, now, kids.



  • Upon hearing the news, Sela wept tears of joy. "Thank the Gods that there is some good and some joy in all this madness, war and despair…." she muttered between sobs......" I wish them all a safe, long and happy life together!"
