You start to loosen up

The two of you spend the next twenty minutes mostly in awkward silence.

You've removed the rest of your armor and are currently sitting next to the fire in the padded clothing you wear underneath it. Those clothes were soaked through in the rain, and you would normally just take them off while they dried, but you don't feel comfortable sitting in your underwear near a person you just met, so you continue to suffer in silence.

Milly, being a merchant, apparently had more sense than you and remembered to pack an extra set of clothes. She had gone to the far side of the cave and changed into them, but only after getting your word that you would not peek while she was getting dressed.

She returns in a much nicer-looking white robe with red accents, the top of her head still covered with a scarf.

"It's still really coming down out there," she says. "Well, if we're going to be here a while, we might as well make the most of the situation."

She reaches into her bag and polls out a bottle of wine.

"I was going to try to sell this, but I think it would go to better use now," she says as she pops the cork off.

She takes a swig from the bottle and then hands it to you. You would normally refuse, but you're feeling particularly parched at the moment, and after the day you've had, you decide you could use a bit of a pick-me-up.

*GLUG*

You're surprised by how good it tastes, and soon the two of you are passing the bottle back and forth, knocking it back with reckless abandon as you tell each other more about yourselves while your inhibitions dwindle.

After a particularly bawdy joke, you reach for the bottle only to realize its empty. Milly pulls out another, but yanks it away from you with a laugh before you can grab it.

"I know! Why don't we play a game and make things a little more interesting?"

You're feeling pretty tipsy at the moment and immediately agree.
