Some time in the late afternoon, a cloaked man with a bow in hand and a leather sack slung over his shoulder slips through the door and makes his way upstairs. An hour or two later, a showered, clean-clothed, trimmed and shaved and smiling Harry Monmouth reappears in the main room and takes up a seat with a good view of the length of the bar.

"Dame Bar," he says grandly, "Do you add to Harry Monmouth's reckoning the next score of orders given you. Beginning with mine own--some sack!"

Drink up folks, Hal's buying.


((Oh man, apologies for the slowness. Flu vaccine reaction hit me yesterday and everything hurts.))

The sun set over an hour ago, and the Milliways grounds are dark, but Rae is still practicing out in the woods, in the little clearing where the Merlin's Circle is burned into the grass. Great figures of stone and soil, animated by magic, move surprisingly swiftly as she trains against them. She is forever in motion, avoiding or blocking their attacks, seeking an opening that will allow her to strike back. The animate figures are faster than her, but her magic gives her an edge - the ability to call up magical shielding when she knows she isn't fast enough to get out of the way of a strike. Only once or twice did she not see an attack coming and get hit by it - the bruises will be a good reminder to pay better attention.

Bruises from mistakes during training are easier to bear than the debilitating (or, more likely, immediately fatal) effects of mistakes made in a real fight. She could heal the bruises and scrapes in a few moments, but she has gotten into the habit of letting them heal on their own. They remind her of the potential costs of carelessness.

(But, my dear, what if there were no one to do the difficult things?)

Sunshine will be sore and worn out by the time she is done, which is partially her aim. She can only hope her weariness will be enough to stave off bad dreams.

Kylo Ren is sitting in a booth drinking coffee. Nice, simple coffee.

Training kind of sucks.
