WHO: Kate Kelly
WHERE: The Inn
WHEN: 7th November | Noon
OPEN TO: E V E R Y O N E
WARNINGS: N/A
STATUS: Open and onging!

---

Since that first lunch at the Inn, Kate Kelly has kept them up. Every day, without fail - even when she went missing and then was recovering, people continued in the kitchen to make sure the community gets their daily midday meal. She's proud of that, and she thinks she's allowed to be.

Today is no different.

The food is dropped off, the volunteers gather to chop and stir and cook and serve, the community gathers to eat, and then it is time to clean everything. If there is still no alcohol, well...

There's tea. And a coffee substitute made from chicory. And... Water.

So come on in, help at the kitchen or pull up a chair in the pub in front of the fire, and enjoy some warm food and company while the outside cold (and death) stays firmly outside.

Thorfinn nodded, reaching over and taking the knife back. Slipping it back where he had had it against his belt.

"Then no don't worry. I will keep and if you remember I will give then. I do not like violence either. I only hunt to keep us alive. I wont make another be violent." He explained, since Carlos wouldn't know his past, and the details even Cougar didn't know. "I know this is strange for you. I could not speak and be understood when I came... I have learned English here." He spoke on. "No one speak Norse anymore. It died with my people. You." He motioned forward. "The other you, that is forgotten, he helped to. He understands I think. What I mean... Your not alone. I will help in all I can for you."

This other man that Carlos apparently is seems so much more worldly. He has a boyfriend, he has friends, and he helps them. He hunts and teaches English and he seems clever and cool. He is a man that Carlos would look up to and want to be, so why can't he just be that man? "Tell me about me," he says carefully, worriedly. "Am I a good man?"

He's the kind of man who asks for a great knife. He has to hope that the reasons he's asking for it are good and not because some twisted version of him has gone down the wrong path.

"I think you are." Thorfinn spoke honestly. "I admire you very much. Even you now, the new man Carlos. I still admire you. You've not run despite how frightening it must be. I admire that." he offered a light smile before shrugging. "I should go, leave you to eat. I am here today just to apologize to a friend."

He searches Thorfinn's face, knowing that he probably looks worried and young, even if there are lines on his face that say otherwise. He wants to know so much about himself and this place that he's in, but he still doesn't know the first place to start. "You are also good, I think," he says, wanting to say as much even if he doesn't know everything. "You have been very kind. Yes, kind," he says, knowing this is the right word.

"Thank you."

Thorfinn's expression brightened at Cougar's words. An undeniable smile, much brighter than some he's give. "Thank you, it means the world to me, Carlos. I try to be good and kind. There is enough darkness in any world without more." He clasp a hand on his friends shoulder, a sign of trust with him. "I will see you later. Take care."
