[PQ] I'll Drink to That

Vervain couldn't help but grin at her husband's comment, though there was much too much to be doing for her to take advantage of it at present. She and Remi would be able to clean up the candles and lanterns but, as he had said, they needed matches. At that point, however, Devrum's voice echoed down to them. Vai winked and nudged Remi. "It's your call," she told the hawk with a kind smile. "If you go, though, push him around for me, okay?" On top of tables - nope. In cupboards - no chance. But if Remi and Vai peeked into enough open boxes, they would find... matches! Ha, no. Not matches. But a large black and white something would leap from a box, mrowing insistently and frightening seven hells out of the poor soul who encountered it. Since her father had left the fish behind, it seemed Ashetta would still have some cleaning to do after she swept. But of course, there was the wine-monster to contend with first. Her growl of warning startled the creature into the open - Ashe would be greeted by a large (read: the size of a kitten) and spindly legged spider that seemed incapable of keeping its own balance. It squeaked in a noise that might well have been a hiccup, and if one didn't know better, you'd swear the thing was drunk. Regardless of whether Devrum received help from Remi or not, there was still wood to source and furniture to repair or replace. All in a day's work! Post Order: 1. Remi 2. Ashetta 3. Devrum vervain where the wild things are
