OOC: Sweetness abounds... Eve shook her head sagely. "No, Sadria, it's not silly. It's perfectly alright. We need to talk about these things; otherwise the grief just builds up inside us... or at least, that's what Loni told me." She gave another watery smile. "And I'm glad I could be of help to you..." She leaned across the barcounter and, with some difficulty, wrapped an arm around her friend's shoulders. "There now, you go ahead and cry if you need to."

OOC: (note to Evie) Yes, I-...No, I guess I don't have to put smilies at the end of ALL my posts...it IS fun, though! IC: "Of course it's not silly! We all have tragic times in life...and s-sometimes we all just need to let it out." Limlight said, her voice cracking as she tried to speak calmly. She leaned closer to Eve and muttered "...and PLEASE don't call me miss Limlight. Just Limlight. Or Lim." She paused a moment, braced herself, then jumped quietly onto the bar counter and slid to the other side, and grabbed Sadria in an embrace. "Don't worry...It's going to be alright..." She glanced up, tears in her eyes, and caught Eve's eye. "...sissy..." She said quietly, and surpressed a sob as she recalled the name she had called Sadria when she was much younger. She slowly sank to the floor, face red, embarrased as tears streamed down her face, remembering sad...and even tragic things that had happened when she and Sadria were younger.

Choking on an escaped sob, Sadria gently grabbed Limlight's arm and helped her to stand. Swallowing, she took a deep breath and said, "Hush now, come on. I don't want to get worked up, but you can feel free to weep till your heart's content." She chuckled softly, blinking away the tears that threatened. "I.. just don't feel comfortable... well, crying. It's just not something I generally do." Wrapping an arm around Lim she gave her a little squeeze.

Wiping her own tears, Eve patted Sadria once more on the shoulder, saying, "Well, once more, I'm glad I could make you feel at least a little better about... about him." Smiling, she added, "And trust me, I don't feel any more comfortable crying in front of others than you do. It's your fault, you know. You started it." She laughed, shaking her head; she was trying to lighten the atmosphere a little. "I'm only jesting, of course. Now then. How about some cider, if you have any, and we'll share some tales of what's happened since we last saw eachother?... This should be a happy occasion, not a time of sad rememberances."

Limlight quickly wiped away her tears, face slightly red, embarrassed, and looked around to make sure no one had seen anything. When everybody seemed to be too submersed in conversation to notice anything, she nodded with approval and turned to face Eve and Sadria. The moment she did, seeing Sadria and Eve wiping away their tears and trying to look happy once more, she choked back another stream of salty water that was threatening to flood down her cheeks. "Of course!" She said quickly, blushing once more, ashamed of herself for crying in front of Sadria, let alone a whole tavern full of people. "Another round of ale, Sadie, 'cause as I always say, 'better drunk than sad'! Or, was it 'better drunk than sorry'? Or maybe..."

Sadria laughed, drying up the last of her tears. She ruffled Lim's hair affectionately, then said, "Coming right up."
She poured another mug of ale and handed it to her small friend. "Now, let's be cheery. This is the first day of my inn! And, we've been crying in front of the rest of the patrons!"
Turning to the mostly empty room she called out, "Sorry for this little fit! All's well, just having some reveries! Don't let us bring you down!" Smiling, she turnedback to her friends. "Say Eve, I'd like to hear some stories of your family! I'm sure that with a girl like Loni, you must have some funny tales to tell!"

This brought a real smile to Eve's lips, and she gave a soft chuckle, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "Oh, tales to tell, indeed," she repeated knowingly, nodding in full agreement, and, mouth dry from crying, she finished the last of her water. Looking down her empty glass, she added, "But... could we possibly have some of that cider I mentioned first? If it's not too much to ask."

Limlight smiled and laughed. "Eve, you really are something! Hah!" She said as she shook her head. "You youngsters really are strange these days..."

Sadira laughed. "What kind of bartender would I be if I refused to serve my friends cider? Not a very good one, that's what." Smiling, she bustled behind the counter, getting everyone a drink.
She chuckled when Lim spoke. "Lim, it's just so... odd to hear you call us youngsters. I mean, you're MUCH older than us, I know, but you're just... well, small." The new bartender laughed again and put three mugs of cider on the counter. "One for Eve, one for Lim, and one for me. Now, how about some stories of Loni?"

Limlight smiled and shook her head once more. "I know it may be strange, but...oh, well!" She looked up gleefully at Eve. "Yes, Loni! Do tell!" Limlight leaned in a teensy bit closer so as to pay attention more easily and took a sip of her drink.

Eve gave a thankful nod towards Sadria, picked up her glass and took a long sip. "Well," she began uncertainly, "this may be a little more than you wanted to know, but, ah well; I find it amusing, anyway." She set down her glass and folded both arms on the bar counter. "Now. As you know, me and Derik have been married for, oh... just over a year now. So, obviously, we are, though I know the concept seems odd to many who know me, very much in love." She smiled a little sadly, thinking that she missed him, before continuing. "So, well, there's not really any other way to put this... one day we were sitting together by ourselves..." The poor knight was blushing furiously, though there was a reminiscent smile on her lips, "kissing... and, in the middle of this, Loni came in procclaiming that it was time for her swordfighting lessons, and when she saw what we were doing..." She tried to stifle a laugh. "Her eyes got as big as saucers and she turned away, starting off with a string of curses, saying something like," she put her hands on her hips and tried to immitate Loni's voice: "'Oh, by the gods, I didn't want to see that; take your buisness outdoors, have some decency! Oh, disgusting. Ugh, what the bloody hell would you ever want to even do that for...'" She left off, laughing again. "Poor dear. She wasn't in much of a talkative mood with us for the rest of the day."

Limlight laughed once more. "Hahaha!! Well, I know how she feels! I don't believe in that kind of mushy stuff!" She took another polite sip of her cider. "Loni seems like a pretty interesting kid. Any other stories of her?"

Sadria laughed and leaned an elbow on the counter. "That's a good one. She's really a sweet girl, she just doesn't want anyone to know it! I can tell. Oh, and, I would like it if she didn't know I said that..." She laughed again, then agreed, "Yes, another story! I love to hear stories of family life, and Loni thrown in just makes it all the better!"
You know, Sadria mused, I'll bet that if Eve wasn't such a practiced swordswoman, I may very well have ended up her fighting instructor! Wouldn't THAT be something!
