I'd like us to wrap up this Day soon, if we can.

What still needs to happen?

I've just been scanning a little bit about Anglo-Saxon culture, such as sleeping arrangements. Apparently, actual beds were very unusual, reserved for lords and ladies. Most everybody slept on straw mattresses that lay on the floor.

Does this fit your imagining of Scarburg?

I was going to try and set up a fight between Léof and Cerwyn but that might be set up better for the next day. Unless Folwren has anywhere she'd like to go with this I could easily edit my last post to wrap that up. Scyld is fine for the night as well.

I am very sorry about my lack of posting lately. I sort of regret introducing a new character to the Hall because I had such grand plans for him but can't get enough time and energy to compose something other than lab reports (second year chemistry labs suck). In addition to everything, I am also in the process of a lot of paperwork for hopefully going overseas for a semester. I'm not sure how long this craziness will last, but in the meantime feel free to treat my characters as NPCs and use them however you want, since they story will probably develop quite a bit before I have my creativity and time back.

Yep, that's fine.

I'm good with the day ending. I am a little curious about the twins' whereabouts, but we don't have to worry about that.

Post edited; I'm ready to end the day whenever everyone else is.

As far as sleeping arrangements, it's not what I had imagined but that doesn't mean it doesn't make sense... seems especially reasonable in a country like Rohan that is more field that forest and wood relatively scarce (I think?).
