It's fine, it will do her good and she should be grateful for anything! Too much of a cultural stereotype to be English and talk about the proper way of taking tea .

It would only lead to biscuit / muffin issues anyway.

Edit: not so far on as I had hope but really stupid o'clock now . So bearing that in mind let me know if I should change anything

Rewritten ... but caveat still applies.... I have just been looking at it so long now that I can't see the wood for the trees...

Edit: In the interests of research I have tried putting honey in tea and it isn't as peculiar as I expected. However even though I used a fairly bland honey and a robust breakfast tea made stronger than usual the tea taste got rather overwhelmed. Which could be a good thing in some circumstances.

So, Willem's dosing the poor boy up with a little something.

Hope poor Jess isn't too frightened!

She asked the question, and being an honest man - he answered...

About Edwin? probably not since she has got to that point where nothing could be worse than what she is fearing. However she may get a bit freaked because of all the stories seeming to be true unless the idea of elf magic is too appealing .. but I'll wait to see what you are posting now first..

Should we have the characters stay put for the night? Or push on toward Bree?

I think I'll have Edwin wake up a little or show signs of improvement or whatever to help the others feel like they can move. And I'm thinking Karl will just want to get them back to their parents before the parents come running with torches and pitchforks...

Will probably post again today. Yay for spring break!

And I think Karl's the one who's going to be really freaked.

Thanks Mith and Evinyatar for the fun!

Blimey.. I have just lost my post to wretched explorer crashing again.. It hates me.

I managed to savage teh bit I could see when it froze... But it was just a post for Jessamy answering Willem. I thought I'd post for Jessamy's brothers too later - they did hear the scream and now I think the fire will attract them. They may well have pointy things of all descriptions on their cart. But Bryn will get there first and is least likely to overreact!

OK i'll go and redo my post. While I still remember.
