I can't see why not. Women are much better at that sort of thing... being careful and attentive I mean. Us men usually will stop paying attention just to watch a girl sleep.

:: glares at Mark, then faces everyone else ::

I can't stay either, I have a farm to take care of and my dog needs my attention too.

Well Mr. Stitch, I guess you weren't one of the men who doubted I could run a bakery when my father died two years ago,

::Looks around room, glaring at some of the men::

You know who you are. I didn't need your help then, I don't need it now, I will barricade myself inside and no one (looks at Mark) nor anything will get me. I have an axe I use to chop wood for the ovens. I will keep it at my side to protect me.

I should go back home too...I've got a family to protect, and someone's got to bring in the harvest.

Very good. Tonight we shall all barricade our shops, but tomorrow, we must reopen.

Agreed. My father would not want me to cower in fear.

I agree as well.

Very well then, I am going to my bakery, hopefully, I will see all of you tomorrow.

::Leaves tavern, heads toward bakery::

Mr. Stitch - I'll go with you back to the estate, and perhaps I can help return with some provisions to share. I'd like a third person to accompany us... not that I don't trust you, Mr. Stitch, but...

I'll come with you two, hope you have an extra bed Stitch.

I've got room. You are welcome.

Well then, lead on.

In all seriousness, be safe everyone. I pray we will all be able to meet again tomorrow.
I'll try to have breakfast waiting at sunrise......on the house.

Now I have to survive the night.

What has you in such a giving mood?

Your seriously asking that Mr. Staplic? With YOUR bar tab?
