"Tut!" snapped an aged woman, whom Eodwine recognized immediately even with his eyes closed. "March Warden or Reeve or what high faluting name you be calling yourself these days, you have picked up some halfling habits to be asleep so early in the morn. Did you overeat at breakfast perhaps?"

Eodwine kept his eyes closed, preparing a weather-denying dry response, when he was doused with a splatter of water. He sat up, opened his eyes, stood up, and peered down at Ruthven.

"Thanks for the extra bath, rag lady. But you know rain is sleepy weather, and the builders cannot do much at this stage of the work with rain coming down for what looks to be the whole day.

"What think you of the labor done so far?" Eodwine peered at the shell of the mead hall. As Ruthven was uncharacteristically silent, he continued. "At least the builders got the tent roof over that wood floor in the nick of time. I was worriting about that. Makes so the tables and chairs can stay put. But enough of that! Would you sit with me? Or do you have ought to speak of with Frodides or someone else hereabouts?"
