The Lalafell had been on one of his paid jobs, making sure ends were met while still trying to fulfill the needs by Gharen Wolfsong, Roen and Ser Crofte.
The problem was that he had done so by embarrassing himself in front of the -sole- person in the entire area near the Slate Mountains of the Coerthas Western Highlands region. Of all the places to trip over a rock nearly a fulm tall, something near his waist, it had to be in front of a random bystander who was taking shelter from the region’s elements.
Lo and behold it was Storm Captain Sounsyy Mirke, who he’d heard of, of course. He’d heard rumors of her time elsewhere but it was a given that he’d heard of her accomplishments at the Grindstone. Shipwrecked and lost so far away! It had been obvious that she had not had a good time of late and it was then that Kage decided that he could not just go out on his way; making camp here would definitely be for the better. It would not do for her to try making her way to Falcon’s Nest in that time and weather conditions.
Plus, it would be a lie for Kage to say that he was not interested in getting to know the Mirke that he had heard of. Now if it wasn’t for this Twelve forsaken snow covered awful place!
The Lalafell shared with her what he had, for of course he had plenty of provisions supplies. Kage was overtly cautious and he loved food. He was dismayed to learn that his offer of jerked beef, red meat, would upset Mirke’s stomach and so he knew just the thing. The frozen, of course curse this Twelve forsaken snow, stuffed cabbages!
Once the fire was lit and ready, Mirke had created a spit that Kage was able to put a pot on, with frozen stuffed cabbages and some ale. The two conversed and Kage found out a little about what had brought the Storm Captain so far away from her course. Stuffed cabbages cooked and consumed meant it was time to turn in with the weather and light soon turning worse. As the Lalafell was so duly prepared, he offered and insisted for Mirke to take a map and some food for when she made her way south towards Falcon’s Nest. With her acceptance, the two made their way into the shelter that the cart provided from Hydaelyn’s elements; Kage of course hauled his arse in with the hot ale remnants that had steeped with the stuffed cabbages’ delicious juices. This pot could still be enjoyed inside the shelter and keep them a little heated as it sits between the two for the night.
