This morning, our intrepid villagers awoke to a surprise of the nicer kind: A bundle of clothing left at the foot of their bed, tied with a bow. There is also a note: Put on your new outfit and join the festivities in the corn field next to the inn.

You may be thinking, what corn field next to the inn? The one that sprung up fully-mature overnight, of course.

In the middle of the field, villagers will find an autumn feast: Tables piled with harvest time food and drink, warm and rustic decorations, the day's sunshine fending off any chill in the air.

Tuck in and enjoy, villagers, but take note: Things often look different in the dark, and you might be one of them.

Bruce's sense of humor flares the most if he's making light of something that isn't light, or mocking himself. He rarely mocks someone else, but sometimes he'll tease them, once they've reached a level of comfort. He resists negative attention as much as possible, and the wrong joke at the wrong time can do that. But their humor matches and it's how she manages to make him smile more than not, like now.

"I will definitely step on your toes in this, save your feet." But as usual, it won't take much to convince him. He's fairly certain she can convince him to do just about anything. She was right the first time they met. She's very persuasive. He offers her his arm though and leads her toward the table to find something worth their time. And after a little wine, he might give her a twirl.

"Oh, I'm pretty sure I can stay one step ahead of you." After all, she'd survived a dance with Steve. Who, while better than he claimed to be, seemed to be trying his best to be much worse. Maybe it's the first time they've done anything like this, and maybe the situation might not be the most ideal, but it's a party, and she's learned the value of letting loose when you can.

Slipping an arm through his, Natasha lets Bruce lead the way towards the table. They'll have a drink, and she'll maybe talk him into a dance, and whatever tomorrow's going to bring, it will. At least they'll have a good memory of tonight.
