<strong>Location:</strong>The Lost Coast Road, roughly halfway to Sandpoint - The Tinker's Fancy<br/><strong>Characters involved presently: </strong>Hugh Longfellow<br/><strong>Characters nearby: </strong>Ranna Walstad, Shadi Bahar<br/><strong>NPCs involved presently:</strong>Aldous Foxglove, Silar Mortwell<br/><br/>If Aldous was aware of Hugh's discomfort he certainly wasn't acknowledging it.  He seemed altogether pleased by Hugh's admission that he was headed to Sandpoint.  He took a long...long drink from his tankard and thumped it down upon the bar triumphantly.  Even with a good part of the ale drank from the tankard, Aldous was still able to spill some.<br/><br/><em>"The Swallowtail Festival!"</em>, he crowed.<em>"Brilliant!"</em>, he hoisted his tankard once more and shouted loudly.<em>"To Desna, our beloved dark lady of the crossroads!  May her smile lead to good fortune to everyone present!"</em>, he reached inside his vest and extracted another purse of coins and thumped it down atop the bar.<em>"Another round for everyone good woman, Riata!"</em>, he teetered a moment before steadying himself and leaning in closer to Hugh.<em> "I am ever so sure that us being on this road at this time...with the same destination is fate smiling upon us friendo."</em><br/><br/>Silar moved up alongside the bar, on the other side of Aldous and took a long look at the second coin pouch that Aldous had placed upon the bar.  Silar gave the taller man a long look before taking an offered tankard and lifting his in turn.  Smiling and laughing with Aldous as they both drank.
