There's nothing quite like the sky opening up and releasing a torrential downpour to bring people together. With water coming down in buckets and the streets turning into waterways, it would be wise to seek shelter until this lets up...

If it ever lets up.

For those needing a place to warm up, the inn has a roaring fire and hot tea waiting. Pass the time watching the rain at the window, or telling stories around the main room's fireplace, or enjoying friendly company in the pub. You're even welcome to stay the night in one of the inn's spare rooms, just don't mind the leaks. It's an old building. Luckily there are plenty of buckets to go around.

The young Norsemen had noticed the tall man who was in the company of Kate now and then. He was nothing if not observant new people around his friends. Thorfinn was bored sitting at the inn, he usually had work to keep him busy and out and about, but the rain had him unable to do much. So, like anytime he was in the inn for any reason besides borrowing an axe or dropping things off for Kate, he was seated at the same table he usually chills at in the meetings and was shaving a bit of rounded wood he had found working on a game board.

Seeing the man's figure move across the kitchen door way with the kettle, he shifted his knife to brush off the shavings across his pants leg and pushed up the knife going into his boot. Maybe now was a good time to finally speak to the man. He was curious about this new comer.

So, the head of blonde braids and brown eyes peered around the corner like a child might when spying. he said nothing just yet, just watched Benny from around the doorframe.

Turning after he set the kettle on the stove, Benedict is aware of someone watching him from the doorway. He doesn't quite recognize the man standing there — he recognizes his face, of course, having seem him around the habble multiple times since he arrived — and so he does not call out to him. Instead, he shifts to collect a few herbs to toss into the water, reaching up above his head to pick a few leaves from the bunches he'd tied up from the rafters to dry, plucking some from this bunch and from that until he is satisfied with his collection.

Only once he's dropped them into the pot does he turn his attention to call out to the man hovering around the door.

"Hello," he hails calmly, looking over his shoulder. "Would you like some tea?"

Thorfinn tracked the man's movements. Trying to figure out what he was making, tea wasn't really something he had seen much of, it at all. He had tried hot drinks when he fell ill the rare times it had happened but usually it was just heated with honey and herbs. So he was curious what the other man was making.

He blinked a little, not expecting to be noticed so soon. The man had to have some kind of skill, that much showed, he isn't used to being noticed quickly. He gave a sheepish look before quietly moving around the door frame to lean against the wall inside the kitchen. Last time he had ventured into the kitchen was to meet Cougar, he generally avoided the area. "Hallo." He spoke, his accent making it a little heavier. "I do not know what tea is...but if it is good, yes. Please." He spoke trying to not sound as curious as he was. It was hard to look intimidating at five foot four... and asking for a taste of tea. But he was trying. This man was hanging around Kate a lot, and he didn't know the man's character, and Kate's brother's were not there to approve of him. He was feeling protective of his friend.
