Fial does take home one of Grendel's puppies, the one Norweni named Ohthere and which she claims is the calmest of the four.
Fial: Well, I can't say you seem very fearsome despite the name, but you are very cute.
Liona is immediately charmed by the new puppy.
Meanwhile, Sabren also seeks out Norweni—in her case, to tell her great-aunt that she wants to learn to fight and be one of the warriors ready to defend the town if, spirits forbid, the need arises. Norweni is a bit reluctant—she doubts Kinet would've enjoyed the idea of his children fighting—but Sabren is both persistent and convincing.
Norweni: Very well, I'll bring you along to practice tomorrow morning. I know Kinet wasn't teaching you, so you do have to start from scratch no matter how excited you are. And I expect you to listen to what you're told to do.
Sabren: I always listen.
Norweni: I believe that, just not that you always follow through on the 'doing what you're told' part.
Sabren: Well... that's what practice is for!
Faro was also here, but just to hang out at the market. Unlike Kinet or Sabren, or his best friend Jia, he's never had any interest in fighting.
Faro and Gede here have some chemistry, but haven't done much more than chat. (Faro and Acca's semi-relationship fizzled out for now, since they've got a bit of an age gap; Acca's not going to age up for at least two rounds, so.)
Spotted: Shep's current girlfriend hanging out with her ex-girlfriend.
Auntie Norweni and her kids are all here for Sabren and Faro's shared birthday. Youngest first!
Ms. Serious-Face here is now a Knowledge sim, interested in crafty redheads who don't like jewelry.
And I seem to have not taken a picture of Faro with his cake, but here he is! I've been waiting for ages to give him a shell necklace to match Fial's.
It's a calm, quiet family supper tonight, and everyone heads out before it gets too late.
The arrival of spring brings early starts and lots of time spent prepping the fields and the kitchen garden, not to mention tending to the cows.
And up in the loft, Fial is making sure the winter furs are stored away properly, and that Kinet's clothes and anything Aífe left behind are also packed up tight with dried herbs to ward away moths.
Fial: *sighs* And what shall we do with this space now? Maybe Faro would like to move up here...
I realized when tidying my screenshots that I'm pretty sure I forgot to post the hood ROS for this round. But it was ✨nothing✨ anyway, so all's well that ends well or whatever.
Fial: You're leaving?
Aífe: For a while, yes. I doubt I'll ever get this sort of opportunity again.
Fial: But what about the girls?
Aífe: They'll be fine here.
Fial: How can you just abandon them like that?!
Aífe: By the spirits, Fial, I'm not dumping them on a mountain and leaving them to freeze, I'm leaving them here, where they live. They'll get over my being gone within a fortnight.
Fial: They just lost their father! And now their mother wants to leave them as well for who knows how long, all in the name of a bit of money—
Aífe: I'm doing this for them! Kinet is dead, so the bulk of the farm will go to Faro, won't it? And the rest of the land has long been divided up for tenants or fields, never mind that your sister owns half of it, not you. That bit of money means my daughters can establish their own households on their own land, or their own business, or whatever else it is they want when they're grown women, rather than living stuck here with Faro or with my father's wife and that child-uncle who's younger than they are!
Fial: You think that we wouldn't give the girls their fair share? That Faro wouldn't? That's cruel, Aífe.
Aífe: Regardless, I'm leaving. You can like it or not, but that fact's not changing.
Fial can judge her all she wants—and Aífe is sure that she is—but this feels like the right choice. Aífe has been so tired since Kinet died, and already the thought of being away from here makes her feel lighter. And with the extra money, money she would never earn just in Veridia and a small city like Evervale, her daughters will have enough coin to do whatever strikes their fancy when they're grown. Sabren and Liona will thank her for it one day.
If anyone bothered to ask Faro, rather than shouting about it within his earshot, they would know that he's perfectly happy with the thought of handing the farm straight over to his nieces when it eventually passes to him (a day that he hopes is far, far away). It's fine, it's important work, but Faro would be happier singing for his supper. No one ever does ask him these things, though.
Ah, Drustan, I did so miss your friendly demeanor and smiling face around the village. At least tip us, bro.
Cousin Senna came over for lunch. Sabren likes spending time with her, even though Sabren is quite a serious girl and Senovara is definitely... not.
Norweni: Ah. So she is going through with it.
Fial: You knew? Why didn't you tell me?!
Norweni: She mentioned it to me, but I figured there was a chance she'd change her mind. There wasn't much point in telling you only for it to be false.
Fial: *sigh* Any other horrible secrets you'd like to share?
Norweni: Not currently, no.
Fial: Fine. Change of subject—are those puppies of yours weaned yet?
Norweni: Just about.
Fial: D'you think you could bear to part with one? Liona keeps talking about it, and it would be nice to have a dog on the farm again...
Norweni: I think I could spare one for my favorite sister.
Fial: I'm your only sister.
Norweni: That does make it very easy to choose a favorite.
I just think Fial deserves a dog after everything. Maybe two dogs.
Hugo got home from the Communal Well, only to immediately be tormented by his big cousin, Gavin. Caine just looked on, not at all bothered - I mean, boys will be boys, right?
These two usually get along great, with one specific exception when they were kids...
Noah aged up with the Mooch trait. Being very outgoing, very playful and pretty lazy, not to mention being the baby out of all his siblings and cousins... I figure he'd be a bit used to having Sims do everything for him.
And besides, it's not like he's ever gonna be heir - why bother?
