"Sounds like a plan to me. Carter?" Jay asked.
"I'll take free lodging." he said, apparently beating someone's head for her had made him warm up to Jay.
Jay nodded. "To the lodge it is," Jay said, starting off towards her humble abode.
When they got there, Moonstone, her wolf-friend, was waiting on the porch. She petted her head and let everyone inside. It was a small place, the downstairs was mostly open except for the one bedroom where she'd slept as an apprentice, then the loft upstairs where she slept now. "Welcome welcome." she said. "Moonstone is friendly, not big on biting."
Carter nodded as the wolf came up to sniff him.

"Nice place." Erik said, looking around.
Amaya crashed on the nearest sitting receptacle, having spent so much time at Jaysn's that it was basically like a home away from home.
"So you clearly aren't talking about why you're down here, but how long are you down here for?" Amaya asked.
"As long as the business takes, you know? No real set time limit." Erik said. "Are you from around here, like Annaliese up there?"
"Oh yeah, nearby. Closer to the town though, so Annaliese's place was definitely closer."

Jay grinned.
"Layla might as well live her though, she spends enough time." Then she asked, "So what do you two think of the area?"
Carter shrugged. "Not cold enough."
"Unfortunately I can only make it warmer at the moment. Beer?" she asked, going towards her small kitchen.

"I like some of the landscapes, but yeah, really warm." Erik said. "And yes please!"
"And some for me as well!" Ama said.
The group chatted into the night, getting progressively drunker and drunker.

Jay had her legs swung over Carter, drunk off her mind.
She looked at him. "You're name isn't Carter, and mine isn't Annaliese." she said.
Carter just stared at her.
"Carter isn't a Norra name. It's Onoskan. And Annaliese isn't a woodland name." Jay continued. "So what's your real name? Erik?"

"Actually, Erik is my real name. It's just common enough that I can use it." Erik said. Amaya had at some point moved to his lap, with her head on his shoulder. Mostly because a drunk, tired Ama was a cuddly Ama.
"Mine's Amaya." She said, sleepily.

Jay nodded.
"I'm Jay," she said, and poked 'Carter'.
"Nathaniel" he said with a sigh.
Jay nodded. "and you're here because?"

"A prince of our tribe decided to run off and we've been sent to collect him." Erik slurred. "Trouble is we can't track him much past here, considerin' we don't know anything about the terrain here and our intelligence ran out a week ago."
"Jay can track." Ama slurred back. "And I'm super good at intelligence gathering. Super good!"

Nathaniel (because he insisted on being called his full name) looked at Jay. "Really You're a tracker?"
"The best in the country according to some person this one time after I found this prince's daughter. She was blind and young and got all kinds of lost." Jay said causally. "Why'd your prince run off?"
Nathaniel just made a noise.

"He doesn't wanna get married." Erik said. "And I totally respect that, but his only recourse anyways is to protest against the tribal elders anyways and by running away, he's risking war between our tribe and the tribe of his fiancee. So it's up to Nathaniel and I to come down here, get him back, and drag him home, kicking and screaming. He's 26 after all."
Ama listened patiently to the tale.
"Yeah, we can help with that."

Jay laughed.
"You've got to be kidding me? His wife can't be that bad, like really." Jay said. "I've seen some really bad matches in the village..."
Nathaniel laughed. "Oh, she's gorgeous, and smart, and funny. They get along swimmingly. Our prince is also gay."

"Oh hey, so's my brother! He's off, doing Aeron things." She said. "Come to think of it, we might run into him. He always pops up in weird places."
Amaya had started rubbing Erik's back since she sat on his lap. It had been awhile since she had been on an adventure that wasn't somehow Crescent ordered, which was always boring since it was business. She was, as much as drunk-her could, looking forward to the morning and what the subsequent adventure would be like.

Jay had fallen asleep sometime during this conversation.
Shortly after Nathaniel fell asleep with his head on her lap- mostly cause as he was falling asleep he fell over, and Jay still had her legs over his from earlier.
The next morning she woke up to a wolf howl.

Amaya woke up as well to that wolf howl. Hungover as fuck, with a dry mouth and a nauseous stomach. She should not drink that much before an adventure. But hey, it was adventure time now and she was absolutely itching to feel a fraction better and get going. It looked like everyone else was also either awake or waking up. And from the looks of them, they were also feeling at least some of what she was feeling.

"Moonstone! Shut up!" Jay shouted, untangling herself from the cuddle puddle her and Nathaniel had gotten themselves in to. She let Moonstone out, and the door open for after she finished peeing and wanted to go back to sleep- The wolf that was not Jay.
Jay started making her awesome hangover kick in the ass thingy thing. It tasted horrible, but got the job done.
Nathaniel started rolling up when the wolf came back in and started pawing at him.
"Jay, da fuck is the wolf doing?"
Jay glanced over. "She wants you to go play with her."
Nathaniel shook his head at Moonstone. "Sorry, not right now."
