pippa sleeps exceptionally well, probably the first time she really slept comfortably for a time. she wakes up unrestrained and well rested, a hearty breakfast smell coming from the room where Ostea and Boreas are already sitting and eating
"hello guys, so what's the plan for the day?"
Pippa take place and start eating too
she rubs a hand on her belly that show her pregnancy, wondering when wil be the next pop out
Ostea points upwards before continuing her meals and Boreas explains
"Ostea found some leaks on the roof she is going to fix. As for me, i have some beehives set up in the forest i'll check up on. You can come along if you want or rest here and get ready for whenever you are going to give birth...."
"i think i'm still good for a day or two. So i'll come to help you."
Pippa hopes that she can help but that it won't be too much stress.
Boreas shows Pippa a few places in the nearby forest where he has set up bee hives. he uses a torch to stun the bees and gets some honey before Pippa gets back. there is mundane stuff to do, repair a fence, tend to the crops, make soup, bake bread and such. its rather..... odd for the usual goings in the forest
mundane stuff... maybe odd, but not as stressful as what can usualy happen, so Pippa is ok with that
Pippa come back to the house and Ostea seems to have finished with the repairs. She gather inside for lunch, simple bread with cheese when they hear horse a rider and horse outside, apparently in metal armor
"STEP OUTSIDE HERETICS! YOU SHALL SERVE THE FIEND NO LONGER. MEET YOUR JUST END AT MY BLADE!!!!"
Pippa gives a worried look toward Ostea, waiting to see her reaction... She also tries to remember where her own stuff is, if she need to flee sudently.
ostea and boreas exchange glances
"it's..... those are order knights. they roam these woods and are apparently as lost as everyone else. they go around and bother people... they especially have it out for us."
"so.. what do we do now ? should we run?"
"Maybe we see if we can't reason with them.
But be prepared for ****. They are a rowdy bunch."
"noted"
Pippa looks for some weapon and gets ready to use her new defense spell
outside Pippa can see two people in armor, it is less shining and more patched up than expected and only one of them has a horse they stand next to. both of them wear helmets and its impossible to guess their gender. they wait for the people in the house to get outside before raising their voices again
"You dare sell your holy souls to the powers of darkness. You have fallen and condemned yourself to eternal suffering after your untimely ****. But! We of the order give you the choice. Forsake your sinister master and come with us. We shall put you through purifying trials to cleanse you of the corruption and save you from darkness eternal!"
