nothing will remind you that eating is good and okay like fantasy books will. “and that night in the valley they brought out the best plum cake and sweet cream, trout and turnips roasted over the fire, mead and goatsmilk and fresh cold water from the spring-“ and it’s like yeah dude you’re absolutely right. then sometimes it’s like “as he slept that night in the woods, he sorely missed the valley, where they brought out the best plum cake-“ and it’s like man that sucks i’ll have some seconds in his honor

"We've had one, yes. But what about second breakfast?"

I sat on the Hearth at Anker's with my lute in my lap. The room was warm and quiet, full of people who had come to hear me play. Felling was my regular night at Anker's, and it was always busy. Even in the worst weather there weren't enough chairs, and those who came late were forced to cluster around the bar and lean against the walls. Lately, Anker had needed to bring in an extra girl on Felling night just to hurry drinks around the room. Outside the inn, winter was still clutching at the University, but inside the air was warm and sweet with the smell of beer and bread and broth.
