Harthad rushed out of the kitchen holding a plate with various kinds of meat on it. She made her way over to Cara and her dragons, setting the plate down in front of them.

"Sorry it took so long," she said ruefully. "The oven malfunctioned on me."

Cara put the plate before her children and they started to eat furiously like they never ate the meat. The proud mother laughed.

"They surely eat like nine dragons!"

"Oh, I hope they won't eat me, I am full of meat!" Rumpel pretended he wants to hide under the table. "Guggle said we won't see any dragons in this age. From where you got them for gods' sake."

"Their previous...mother...was killed by crowd" said Cara. "When they saw me, they flied to me and didn't want to leave. I guess they chose me."

"I had a crow once...he also came to me out ofthe blue. I think animals feel that you are theirs, if you know what I mean" said Rumpel and sat on the chair. "Water, if you can, Harthad! I am thirsty and you know how I hate alcohol."

Cara looked at Rumpel. He changed somehow from how he looked before she left. He had now big red nose, which stood in oposition of what he was telling about not drinking alcohol. But she didn't want to start about this.

"Will you come with us to Ingberg"? she threw loosely, playing with end of her belt.

"Alright!" Harthad rushed off into the kitchen, grabbed the water pitcher off the counter and ran to pour the contents into a cup that she soon rushed over to Rumpelstiltskin. It seemed like she would be hurrying around a lot today.

"Thank you, Harthad" said Rumpel with wide smile. He took the water and started drinking slowly. "Yes, I think I can go to see Ingberg at work. Do you want to go now or will you wair for me to finish this drink?"

"Nooo, no, you can drink you water. I bet before the day will end, you will be drinking ale like a madman" said Cara with slight smile. "Where have you seen him last time? On the shore?"

"Yes, he talked with fishermen. But I am sure, well, almost sure, that he came back to his tower" Rumpel finished water and stood from his chair. "So what, we are going?"

Cara clapped in her hands and jumped a little. Dragons moved nervously.
"So to the magician!" he laughed. "The old man knows how to make us curious, isn't he? We will tease him a little."

[OOC: Hope you don't mind, Harthad, that we will go outside the inn ^^]

Harthad quietly ran into the back, and then remembered something. She popped her head out again. "Arabella? Did you say you were going help? And, um, does anyone want anything else?"

Just as Harthad finished speaking, the door to the inn creaked open. Standing in the doorway were two young hobbits in tattered dresses. They looked very similar, but one of them had shorter brown curls and a red bow in her hair. She was clutching a rust-colored hen in her arms. The other lass had a concentrated frown apparently frozen onto her face and a small bow slung over her back. Both girls were filthy and looked utterly exhausted. Neither spoke a word as they stepped inside and let the door swing shut on the cold behind them. Finally, the hen-girl gave her companion a gentle nudge with her foot.

"I told you it looked safe, Penelope."

Penelope didn't respond. Her eyes were trapped in something across the room. Her face was pale beneath the dirt.

"I-Is that a dragon?" she asked in terror.

Harthad walked over to the two hobbits, who certainly looked the worse for wear.

"I'm told they're nothing to worry about," she said with a kind but very shy smile. "Would you like anything to eat or drink? Oh, and welcome to my, um, my inn. Although I probably should have told you that first."

At the word "food", both hobbits perked up.

"Lemonade!" The girl with the hen said. She looked down at her pet and managed a weak smile. "Belladonna doesn't look scared - for being in the same room as a dragon, you know."

"It's too cold for lemonade, Poppy!" Penelope rolled her eyes. "Mushrooms would be better. Anyway, you know what scares Bella, and it's not dragons." She swallowed and shot the creatures another nervous glance.

"I don't think we can afford mushrooms, actually." Poppy stroked Belladonna's feathers.

"Oh." Penelope looked stumped, but only for a moment. "We'll eat the mushrooms now and pay for it later - after we get the gold, you know." She nodded triumphantly.

"I'm back!" Arabella cried out, returning with Cara's order. "When you get the time, you have to tell me how you got Princess Daenerys to give you her dragons," she said, staring at the creatures in fascination, for she recognized them immediately. She looked up, catching sight of the two newcomers--Hobbits, they were. "Hello there!" she called out.
