Beleg felt the urge to once again verbalize his concerns with the situation,
"Mablung, do you really think that Turin's twentieth should be celebrated in Gene's stall?"
"Well what's wrong with Gene's stall?"
"Nothing, but you know...it's Gene's, and not very spacious...and you know...a cow stall."
"You never had an open mind Beleg."
"You say that like you even have the remotest idea of what goes on in your mind."
"Ouch."
Their daily banter was interrupted when Elenuial and Nellas entered the now cramped underground stall, Nellas who was creepily adept at finding Turin's whereabouts had been checking in every few minutes to let Beleg and Mablung know so they could coordinate. Beleg and Mablung who were "working" at trying to decorate a cow stall for the edain's twentieth birthday.
The two elleth quietly observed the Marchwarden's handiwork, their combined efforts had produced the astoundingly original idea to spell out HAPPY BIRTHDAY at the front of Gene's stall. After two hours they had accomplished a barely distinguishable and ragged "B" and an "I" that appeared to be Saeros's probably stolen flute propped up on a bucket.
Elenuial and Nellas' eyes met for the briefest of moments, in an attempt to stop the two from ruining something more important that decorations (Turin was after all Captain of the Pragmatic) they had glorified the assignment and set forth to do some real work. With the cake cooling off, Turin brooding and shunning daylight (that usually keeps him busy for a few hours if not interrupted) and Saeros tied up, rendered unconscious, and locked in a broom cupboard, all foreseeable major problems were handled.
Smiling slightly, the two women sent Beleg and Mablung off to Bargon's new pub to pick up the massive amounts of liquor that the four had ordered to support their friend's new business and for the sheer enjoyment of seeing Turin suffer from the many things that differentiate edain from elves.
Beleg and Mablung dutifully set off on the short walk to Bargon's pub as Elenuial and Nellas tries to make a cow stall look a little less like a cow stall.
