Morning

He opened his eyes. Where was he? It slowly came back, the haze and fog in his head was still there and created a slow recovery to awakening.
The smell got him back, there was nothing like a good fresh baked bread where the aroma of herbs and the care of a really good baker who knew her thing properly.
Well the bread seemed to be in good hands but what about him?

The fog had started to lift and started to clear his head and now the roof came into view and he suddenly regreted that the fog was gone since now he could see how bad the shape the roof was in. It looked rugged and worn. He really needed to talk to Rogur to fix the roof and to stiff things up before the rain got trough again.
The last time that happen it almost made the inn to close down.

Ah well, lets get up before they burn down the Inn.

Ah, at least Rogur had the decency to get water up for washing. The mirror showed him the scar at his right side where old tissue still hanged dead, "no lady is going to marry me when they see this" he sighed. The other scar that went from the collarbone to the hip was still stiff after so many years and it was a miracle that he even survived that at the time. His image in the mirror faded out and in and he sighed, when is this curse ever gonna go away.

A knock on the door got him out of his mind, "yes?"
'Its, kyra, I was going to inform you that Rogur havent showed up yet.
He problebly is drunk in some corner and sleeping in his own womit as usual.'

I dragged the door open with a wild rush and was out of it passed Kyra which with a suprised look was taken aback and her worn old face for an instant looked 10 years younger. She really had been something then.

I didnt care much for her at the moment even though she looked better than ever since I was gonna teach that handyman how an Inn was run in Tarkanor.
Down the stairs I runned halfnaked with the shirt living its own life when I tried to run and get dressed at the same time, I had just got down the last stair when something in the room got my eye.

There was a table with fresh bread, a hot steaming coffepan and two wild smiling people who grinned so much you would think they would split the face in two.

"What is this" I roamed?

'Breakfurst of course', they both answered smiling.

I turned and there was Rogur, I was about to open my mouth when he lifted his hand, I know, roof, I am on it...He nodded and turned and was gone.

I standed there for an eternity at least it seemed so, the two grinning fools which now was getting butter and some nice ham and cheese on the table and they couldnt stop smiling and smirking at the situation where I was dripping wet, half naked and where I had no pants on me!
With as much pride and dignity I could muster knowing this would be known at the kings halls within the hour and I be hearing this for weeks to come how the baker was naked eating breakfurst, I sighed, it wasnt fair, this was to much for anyone to handle, the uproar of employees. But I get back to them, this will be avanged when they least expected it, the thought of getting back at them was enough for me to start getting the coffe and a big slice of the bread which had a defenitly a new aroma.

I looked at Kyra which now had the decency to come down with my pants so I could be properly dressed.

She smiled widely, looking at my chest she frowned for a second, "here is your hum cloths so you can be considered well dressed as any genteman would be in the morning" I miffed some words behind the bread which was delicious and tasted really great. Kyra was always proper at least until you sip down some ale into her and then you had to stay away since she be all over you, hum maybe that would be taken advantage of in the proper revenge for this morning, that thought put a smile on my face and my beard and she looked supsiciosly at me, "what" she said, "oh, nothing" I said innocently, "great bread, what is it?"

She looked at me, not enterly convinced I was honest with her since she knew me or at least thought so.
"It was Mary who tested some of her ideas and tried a recipe from her cousin in Qualia".
Qualia heh?, that land where the heat could fry a egg on a rock had mustered this kind of bread?
Hum, maybe I would travel there to find out what other things they baked.

Tell those grinning fools and Mary that I appriciate this suprise and the bread taste great!

Now she really looked suspiscioly at me, "You feeling alright?" I smiled innocently, oh yes Kyra, let me get some more coffe and I be taken care of todays preperations. Its a big day today you know.

That morning was one of my best mornings I had in a very long time and I truly enjoyed it.
