Dressed in one of her favorite outfits, Marienne appears above decks with a backpack slung over one shoulder. The brunette stood on tiptoe to see over the crowd, trying to spot Ausk. She knew he'd left ahead of her and she didn't want to risk losing her drinking buddy in the crowd. After a moment of searching she spotted him and began to weave her way through the crowd. The bard stood out like a sore thumb, dressed in brightly colored silks that suited her personality. She wore a vest of yellow silk over a plain white blouse that was tucked into crimson colored breeches.<strong>"Excuse me, pardon me,"</strong>she quickly cut through the throngs of people and came up behind her favorite cleric.<br/><br/><strong>"There's no way you're old enough to find your way to an inn by yourself,"</strong>she mocked as she came up even with him and ruffled his hair.<strong>"It good to be back on home soil, isn't it?"</strong>She couldn't help but smile, thinking about how close she was to being home. Sadly, it didn't look like she would be meeting her nieces and nephew any time soon. As a House Carl she was like to have other matters to attend to. Tonight though, tonight was not a time to worry about the hard times to come. Tonight was to celebrate being home and that was exactly what Mari meant to do.
