Morning After
A good portion of the revellers drank well into the night and Defi sent most of them near-stumbling off the next morning with a bag of bread and a jar of the leftover soup.
Slowly, those who were left started to dismantle the canopies and clean the homestead of the last traces of revelry.
Defi looked around, stretching cramped muscles.
Nearest to him, Renne and Saston grimaced as they used shovels to turn over the spots of vomit on the ground. The orphanage children, due to both Aire and Lergen staying through the night, had slept in the Garge house.
Apart from the orphanage people, Falie and Hames stayed as well. Lemat had flitted off into the trees after helping take down and fill up the latrines – Defi was unsure if he was returning.
Tholme and Racard were carrying some of the building company's things to their barge. Barrey and another builder called Essa were dismantling the tables.
