AINO
Knocking back her drink, and promptly pouring another even as the vodka burned down her throat, Aino wasn't sure whether to cry or sigh or just laugh. Her mother was incorrigible, this she knew, but she'd had some hope of Sah at least being somewhat sensible. But these two seemed to get along well, thick as thieves, and apparently her peaceful days were wilting down into single digts.
"Uhuh, I see. That's a good one, ma. Have you eaten today, or was the bread for Toumo and the others?" She clearly did not believe her mother - too used to tall tales - and rolled her eyes at Sah as if this was a joke he should be protesting against. Setting glass aside, and leaving the bottle out for her mother and Sah to help themselves, Aino headed over to the kitchen.
"I'm eating just fine, dear, don't be such a worrywart. There's a loaf left for you - and two for this whelp over here, because he's clearly not eating enough." Jabbing her darning needle in the direction of the young man, he was given a shrewd look through narrowed eyes. "Did you go to the big woods yet, laddie?"

Come and conquer, drop your bombs
Cross my borders and kill the calm
Cross my borders and kill the calm
