Hearing news of jobs was always good. Apparently missing the important "months" part, instead of month was a bit less so. Thankfully, there was still budget left for that. Just had to get more rations later. And do a few other minor things that had a way of multiplying when you tried to bring not just your self but also some support people, support horses, and a support torch bearer.<br/><br/>And even though they'd already gotten pay in advance, for the next few whatever (hours, hopefully) Baradis' hirelings were free to celebrate while only very technically using their pay.  It all depended on how long the wait would be if the elf woman wasn't the one doing the choosing and picking. A little wait wouldn't be too bad. Scales didn't hold heat that well, and neither did the cloak.<br/><br/>Well, nothing much seemed to be happening inside right now (and thankfully not outside either, cold take ... Auril? Auril's tits, Baradis decided to curse the weather by) so if nothing started once warmth started to seep into actual flesh, then it would be time for some kind of soup.
