Celebrating the day

by Eethyl Benzoin

Well this turned out ok. The keep here would be a nice place given some work. And a proper old shrine to Moradin. You could raise a whole family here I dare say. I run my hands down the stone work wall "Oh my dear, I'm sorry I wasn't there to get more done. You always warned me that I wouldn't finish the place and we would constantly live in a half cut burrow." I smile looking over at the pile of caved in rock. If we had more than the one we would have gotten it done as a family. Dormin had enough help. He has managed for the girls and Erbar. I look at the tart in my other hand and smile slightly closing my eyes It's not a bad practice the humans keep. Even if they insist on doing it every year. "Moradin, you have the might needed. Please pour into Dormin and grant him the strength needed to protect my grandkin"
After a long sigh I'll take one more look around the defensible position and lay my bed roll next to the Ballista. I'll prop my backpack in the corner as my pillow and lay back, not worried about getting comfortable. I'll set the tart down next to me and smile. "Happy birthday my boy. I'm proud of you."
I listen for a moment to the echo of conversation still going around the dinner table as it travels through the chamber. They are a good bunch. Plenty enough family for now. Thank you for the opportunity to serve them Glittergold. Help us be a boon to the families here in Phandalin. Thank you for aiding us here. May you and Moradin help this place become a place of service again. I smile some thinking about the hall full and functioning within the greater community. "She will do well. Given time she will blossom in her ability to grow and tend more than flowers and find the hearth she is looking for there." What about the others? Do they know what they want? Have they taken the time to think that through? I sigh heavily Such short lives passing like a vapor before they realize what they have. They think they want what...wealth...power...attention...revenge? I listen again at the voices that travel through the keep for a moment and smile before leaning back to get to bed early
Oh Nina. I'm thankful for the time we had. I wish I could have been there for his earlier celebrations with you. I hope to see you again if I perish with this lot. Glittergold facet me there with them please.
I close my eyes and go through relaxing my limbs and wandering mind
