come into the den

Maea

And I hope that you don't suffer
But take the pain

The pale-haired woman looked relieved, and leaned forward in her seat.  "Thank you, I'm so glad to hear you say that! Finding people has been harder than I thought." Digging up a pen from a pocket, she began to scribble notes on the paper, as she went on to explain in more detail.

"I've received promises of supplies from a few farmers, they can be here as soon as you need them. The party will be on the casual side - think Fiat Lux but way smaller. We will hang lanterns and place glow stones around the Glade, probably, and arrange for guests to bring 'fireside' stories. But since so many of us are Ascended, we'll keep the actual fires to a minimum."

She looked up to see that Lilliane was still with her and smiled. "So, the food we need should be warm and easy to eat. Nothing too fancy, and probably not in any greater quantities, since I don't know how many guests we'll have."

Leaning back, she tapped the butt of the pen against the back of her hand. "Lanterns are being mended, food is coming along... it's really the music and the stories left, now. I might try to dig through the Atheneum some, see what I can find..."

Hope if everybody runs
You choose to stay
