There is a new(ish) wench inside the bar
Tonight, that's not been seen
Before within this space, and likely
Will not be seen again too soon.

Ned Poins hath known the favour of a god
Upon a feast that suits for suchlike things
And waits to see the outcome of his trick.

Also, fieryTrigon is signed on,
As Poins has not yet found out how
The thing is turned off.-

[[OOC: Thread where Poins is changed still in progress, but I promise we will get there!]]

"There're a lot of recipes I sell in the bar to keep up with my tab," Rae grins. "Catch me some day when I've got more than just cinnamon rolls, and I'll let you try them. D'you have chocolate in your world?"

Because Sunshine does wonders with it.

"Indeed, we have not," she says.

"Just you wait, then," Sunshine grins, smugly. "You're in for a treat."

"Oh, I do hope so!"

Simper!

The simpering is still weird. It probably shows on Rae's face - most of her thoughts do, in one way or another.

"I don't think I caught your name...?" It's the closest she'll come to outright asking.

"I'm Nell," she says, the words coming slow around the cinnamon roll.

Perhaps it's the speech patterns the woman uses, but there's something familiar about her. "And we've not... met before, have we? I'm not just being rudely forgetful?"

It's not out of the realm of possibility.

"Wouldst thou forget me?" she says.

Pause.

"Thou mayest have met my brother?"

Poins has decided to claim to be his sister.

"I apparently came here when I was very young, and had no recollection of the people I met here, when I met them again much, much later," Rae shrugs, wry. "Who's your brother? I might know him."

"Guess?" she grins.

Sunshine chuckles, shaking. "Man, I am horrible at guessing things like this."

But she'll make an effort. Rae peers at her, trying to think of whose sister she could be. It's the thought of a pair of twins she went to school with, James and Joseph, that make her wonder if the brother to Nell might be "Ned?"

"Ned Poins?"

"Thou art exceeding clever, and the eyes within thine head do truly do their work," she lauds. "Indeed, 'tis he!"

Rae smiles.

"Is he your older brother, or younger brother?" she asks. "You must be pretty close in age."

In for a penny...

"My twin," she says.

"Really?" While the thought had occurred to her, it still surprises her a bit. "I didn't even know he had a sister. Admittedly, we haven't really talked about our families, so maybe it's not so surprising."

"My only siblings are my two half-brothers. They're both younger than me, and still live at home."

"And thou dost not?" she asks. "Thou livest in a place that is not home? A convent?"

The thought of her living in a convent makes her laugh. "If I were in a convent, it'd be filled with very well-fed nuns."

"I just meant I don't live with my mother and step-father anymore. I have my own place," she adds, grinning. "An upstairs apartment overlooking my landlady's garden, at the edge of a federal park."

"Thy own place by thyself, with gardens?" she says. "Thou truly art a lady, for a baker!"

"Just a baker, but one who clashes with her mother often enough that continuing to live at home was out of the question," Rae smiles. "I'm happy at my apartment, living on my own."

"Tis still a princely thing, to live all by oneself and not share rooms," she says.

"It's pretty much expected, where I come from, once someone gets to be eighteen or so," Rae replies. "Do you share rooms, in your where and when?"

"No virtuous maid would not!" she says. "And no loose wench could pay such."

"So you live at home with your family? Hope you get along better with your parents than I get along with mine."

Though Charlie's a good guy. It's Sunshine's mother who she clashes with all the time.

"My father's dead, my brother's mostly gone, and our mother is a true good woman," she says, only half-lying.

"I'm sorry to hear about your father. My own father is... well, missing." Presumed dead. "But my step-father is a good man."

"Does your brother know you've found Milliways, yet?"
