"Well, grown ups have vices that are far worse than the juvenile counterparts, so... It's not always that good an idea to follow what they do. Drinking alcohol is such an easy one to avoid... And it doesn't even taste that good to start... It makes absolutely no sense to me as to why anyone would actually drink that, you know? Well, probably not, you drink it." Archon turned his shoulders but kept his hips stationary so as to keep mainly turned towards Lagg but look over his shoulder so he could see where the plate was and rotate it. It wouldn't be any good if only the rolls on the right were warmed.

"Ya..." said Lagg. "But now I feel stupid..." Lagg couldn't help it his eyes started to water and then tears ran down his face. He wiped away both of his cheeks, and tried to hold most of them back. "But...."

Archon sighed resignedly. It hadn't been his intention to bring Laggerung to tears. Apparently, he had confused being stupid and being easily influenced. There wasn't much he could actually say on the matter, though, since he'd never let himself drink a drop, ever. "But what?"

"It's nothing.." said Lagg. He then looked over at the food next to the stove, and his stomach gave a small growl. "Um, when's the food gonna be done?" asked Lagg.

"Just give it a minute to warm up... I hate room-temperature rolls, but, uh, I baked these yesterday and I really don't want to have to make some more fresh when these are here. I mean, aren't they fresh? They've only been around for, what, twelve hours?" Glancing back at the covered plate, Archon put a paw on the glass to see how it felt. It was uncomfortably warm, which told him something about the rolls behind it. "Actually, I think these are done now..."

"Ok, well I'm going to go get change will quick, and I'll be back. I assume some of the food should be ready when I get back." said Lagg. He walked out of the Dining Room. After a few minutes, he came back in his tunic from last night, his dirk in his scabbard. "Do you mind a weapon near the table?" asked Lagg.

"What, a weapon near the table? Um..." Archon brought the plate back with a tray of butter, and set it on the table. A soon as its weight was on the wooden surface, he then pulled out a palm dagger from... Somewhere behind him, and slapped it on the table next to the plate. "Obviously not, I don't mind a weapon on the table. You can bring whatever armament you like... Nice tunic, though," the mouse commented sarcastically. Within the fort, those were seldom worn anymore.

"Thanks...?" said Lagg, he was unsure if the mouse was complementing him or if it was hint that he might need new clothes. "Um, nice weapon. Use it often?" asked Lagg, although he thought th obvious answer was 'yes'.

"What, this?" Archon picked up the palm dagger he'd been concealing and examined it idly. "Not this particular one, but I practice with the palm dagger all the time. It's just so concealable, since it has no true handle, I keep one of these on me whenever I have an article of clothing to hide it under. Really, I can have up to ten on me when I have my coat and everything on..." That was because they had about two hundred of them in the house. The daggers were rather soft steel, not folded or anything but made with simple molds, but they served their purpose well.

"Daggers...the best tool to use when in 'tight' situations." smirked Lagg. His emotions getting away bit by bit from the conversation the two had earlier. "Do you think Linx should be woken up? I mean, I just didn't know if he wanted to eat breakfast or something with us."

"Oh, no, not really, we all have breakfast... Whenever, thus the casual roll thing. Dinner is a bit more together, that's why we have this big table, but not breakfast. You don't need to worry about that, I mean, I'd have to wake up every single guy up there anyway if I followed that idea," Archon pointed out as he lifted the glass lid and took a roll, which had already been sliced open at the side so all he had to do was spread a tantalizingly thin slice of the wheel of butter on it. "Here, have one... Most casual meal of the day around here."

"True." said Lagg thankfully for the roll as he took it from Archon's paw. He took a bite of it, and swallowed it in two halfs. "Man that was good!" complimented Lagg.

"Well, thanks, and congratulations to you, because if you said anything else, I'd throw you into the wall," Archon cheerfully replied as he buttered one for himself. He bit into the very corner of it and chewed thoughtfully, savoring his food as much as he could. "Mmm... It's really nice when the butter melts and soaks into it... It tastes so much better like that."

"True that!" said Lagg as he helped himself to another one, but this time eating it slower. After he got done with it, he looked at Archon, and then out of the window that was in the Living Room. Lagg slowly stood up from his seat, and grabbed a few more rolls, and buttered them. "I think I'm going to take these and head on out..." said Lagg. "Linx or you or whoever else lives here can have my share of food." He then started heading for the Living Room.

Still holding the half-eaten roll in his paw, Archon walked out to where Lagg stood in the living room and gave him an indignant glare. "You're leaving? Well, where's the fee you're paying us?" Letting a few seconds pass by, he eventually broke into a grin, demonstrating that he'd just been acting sarcastic as usual. "Just kidding, I don't mind."
