[Artemisia] Desserts and stories

[morgan wolf]

No, I disagree.  THAT is a story to be shared around a campfire, whilst enjoying cheesecake, and chocolate, and brownies, and Scotch, and very, very good company, like you, and Tanglwyst, and Catriona Morganosa (but never those last two at the same time, they don't get along).

Haakon, if you're of a mind to do so at Coronation, my pavillion is open to you, I know several people that should hear that story.  Bring what you think appropriate, my stores of Scotch may be down to 3 partial bottles (and perhaps less after Harvest War), but I'm happy to share with friends.

(DISCLAIMER- SCOTCH WILL ONLY BE SHARED WITH FRIENDS 21 AND OLDER)

A wonderful tale.  Put it to music and let the Bards sing the story until the End of Days
