Ciera's cottage

[Ciera]

She follows, and seeing the disappointed took goes to him and wraps arms about his middle. "Ya know they were gonna...ya all seem to thrive on poking fun with each other. Tis a good thing." She smiles up at him, thinking it over. "Anywho, they won't be living here, now will they? Now gives a kiss before you have to kill them."

[Dev]

He kisses her softly and then starts towards his hammer. "They had damned well better not."

[Ciera]

Ciera goes back to cooking with a smile on her face, taking out more steaks from the freezer. She starts up the broiler, grinning and trying to stay out of the line of fire.

[Keeva Gilchrist]

Keeva looks back at the noisey one, trying to get her to shuush.

[Tanith]

Smiling sweetly at Keeva, Tanith keeps up her singing. Not sure what she is enjoying more irritating Keeva or that her singing will be annoying Dev.

[Dev]

Dev steps out onto the front steps holding his Iron Hammer in one hand and bouncing its head in the other. "Can I help you ruffians?" He is in a pair of jeans only.

[Keeva Gilchrist]

Keeva spins, crouching but a huge grin on her face. She bites her lip, fighting not to laugh, just yet.

[Fable]

I look up and see Dev and give a low howl of amusement, before shifting back to homid.

Shaking my hair back into some form of order I give him a slight wink, giggling. Not coming closer just yet, eyeing him and that hammer.

"Ruffians? Now that's a bit harsh don't you think?"

[Tanith]

Shrugging her shoulders. I don't know about them, they're beyond help, but me I am fine. Slept like a wee bairn, and had a lovely breakfast. How was your evening?"

[Ciera]

Inside, Ciera starts up the steaks in the broiler then goes about pulling out her everyday plates and some utensils. She smirks as she hears the girl's. Yep, sure enough they were ribbing him. Ah well. She looks outside at them all...older they were. She goes back to the stove, starting up the eggs on the stove top. She needed to work on her blueprint here soon...or it would be hell to pay to hit her deadline. She starts humming to herself, working over the plan in her head as she scrambles the egg's up with some seasonings and such.

[Dev]

"Considerably more comfortable I would think, Tanith." He looks to Fable. "Will it make you feel better if I call you vegabonds?" He props the hammer on his shoulder and waves with his free hand. "Well come on in, Ciera has decided to adopt you for the duration of lunch."

[Keeva Gilchrist]

Keeva smiles and walks up to the front porch swinging her arms. "Sooo, ya never did answer Tani. She beat ya for being a the biggest of brutes? She has that cast iron pan, ya know." She looks back at Fable, winking. "Might be that we need to make sure your not beaten." She stiffles a giggle.

[Tanith]

"Ya, Inquiring minds want ta know." as she gives Dev a wink.

[Fable]

"Vagbond does have a certain ring to it."
I grin as I head up to the porch as well, my coat tails flapping behind me slightly in the wind.

Hearing Keeva I giggle.

"He doesn't look like he's hurt none, maybe hes covering the marks. I, for one don't plan on looking."

Trying to be serious, I keep an eye on Dev and his hammer still, as I peer beyond him into the house, sniffing the air appreciatively.

"Smells good, what say we go meet the cook?"

[Dev]

He smirks. "No much to my continual surprise she seems to like me. I even handed her the pan myself, no accounting for taste I guess." He turns back and goes into the house and gives Ciera a wink accompanied by a wicked smile. "She is making me a couple of steaks, I think she has some left over barley for the rest of you."

[Ciera]

Making a tisk noise at him, she smiles back before serving up a platter of eggs on the kitchen table. "Now...mind the new rug. Shoes off at the door, you three!" She goes back to the broiler...almost done. There goes dinner for the week. Need to go shopping soon. She looks back at them...then back at the stove, nervous. His pack...not free anymore. She pushes it back...can't be helped. Was the way of it.

[Keeva Gilchrist]

Keeva was just about to walk in and stops midstep at the warning. "Ok. Good day to you, Ciera. How goes it?" She grins as she strips off her boots while standing, and is soon enough walking through to the kitchen.

[Fable]

I step through the door, looking at Ciera with a warm grin, stooping quickly to unlace and remove my own boots, careful not to make a mess of things.

"Yes, of course. Your house your rules. Plus I don't mind going barefoot."

I get into the house admiring the place, and enjoying the feeling of bare feet on floor boards.

I stop at the kitchen door, being polite if not cautious.

I can see why Dev cares for her so..best be nice or I'll catch that hammer. Can't be easy for her, us three and him. Got to give her credit for being cordial.

"Hello there, Ciera. Nice to see you again." I smile.

[Dev]

He goes over and lays his hammer back in the case along the living room floor. After stowing the weapon he comes into the kitchen and sits at the table in the hopes of being out of the way but still convenient to the call. "So how did things go last night ladies, did anybody spot the boy? Any elders?"

[Tanith]

Shaking he head at Ceirra, "Grams already fed me, So I am good til evening I think." then looking over at Dev. I was at gram's all night, But I know most of the elders are about still. She sees them from time to time."
