Two weekends, two festivals, and a lot of work stuff later, and I am caught between being very happy and also wanting to shrivel up and die a bit. ;) Vacation time soon, and god do I need it.

I'll probably be a little quiet for the moment, simply because I need time to just relax. The big work stuff is done, but there's still some events I need to handle before I can say it's truly summer holiday time. But I'm feeling good. :)

If you tagged me in any tag games, I am not ignoring you! I'm planning on doing them all after I've started on the new project, so it may be a bit longer, but thank you for tagging me!

Coffee Break Tag Game

Thanks for the tag, @anyablackwood!

Time for your characters to take a break from all the things they're going through and have a bit of bonding time(?) with coffee and/or other drinks that bring a sense of comfort. If they stay at home, who would make the drinks ready? Or, where would they be able to order a coffee or a tea? Would they go in a coffee shop or would they go somewhere else? Would there be any interesting conversations happening or would there be awkward silence? Who would be the first to leave?

Aneiric sank deeper into his chair. Outside, the weather had turned from chilly to downright dreadful. Winter was bearing down on them, and it was bearing down hard. He stretched his feet a little closer to the fire. While the flames crackled merrily, he always felt like the chill never quite left him in the darkest months of the year.

“Trying to make this harder?”

He fluttered his eyes open at Bran’s voice. The man was looking down at his legs, expression half amused, pot in hand. Aneiric obediently drew his legs back so he could hang it over the fire. The honey-sweet aroma of mead and spices filled the air.

“Wouldn’t dare, my dear captain.” He groaned as another gust of snow hammered against the windows, almost begging for them to break. “Is it me, or has winter gotten worse?”

Bran slowly stirred the pot as the mead within heated up. The flames threw flickering shadows over his face, making his brows stand out in dark relief. “It’s you,” he replied, almost absent-mindedly, and pre-empted Aneiric’s offended sputtering, “but it has gotten worse. It’ll be a hard season.”

Aneiric grimaced. Hard storm seasons were becoming worryingly common. He took the tankard Bran handed him with a grateful smile, warming his hands on it and breathing in the heady scent. This was, perhaps, one of the few perks of winter. He looked up when Bran stood with a grunt.

“Drink with me,” he implored before Bran could turn towards the door.

Bran’s brows rose. “I’m on duty,” he said. Always that same tired argument. Aneiric usually respected it, but he was in no mood for drinking alone tonight.

“Please?” He watched as Bran rolled his eyes. “Just this once?” He tried a smile. Bran wasn’t easy to persuade, not when he didn’t want to be. “Indulge me?”

His heavy sigh might sound like defeat. To Aneiric, it felt like sweet victory as Bran turned to fill a tankard for himself.

“Just this once,” he said and settled into the chair beside Aneiric’s. Aneiric raised his tankard with a grin. They both knew it was a lie.

Gently Tagging @janec23, @writernopal, @mjparkerwriting and anyone else that wants to write some cozy coffee time tonight!
