A Very Trog's Thanksmas

[Ashen Lilies]

[Elfmas!]

Some more people arrive! They're all elves. The trio are led by a tall, regal looking high-elf woman with long platinum-blonde hair worn half-up in an elaborate floral, with the rest spilling out down her back. She's dressed as if for a ball, in a dark blue fur-trimmed gown, with a fur-edged mantle draped over her shoulders. Despite the richness of her attire, the elven noblewoman is curiously lacking in jewelry or adornment, wearing only an intricate set of ear jewelry, and a diadem of silver vines, inset with a pale green stone to match her silvery-green eyes.

She's scarcely several steps into the tavern when the child accompanying her spots a certain pack of fuzzy Thanksmas wolves, gasping in wonder and running ahead of her.

"Puppies!"

He rushes towards the wolves to pet them, a boy appearing around seven or eight, with pale blue-grey skin, silvery-green eyes, and long platinum-blonde hair to match his mother's, though he's dressed far more simply, in a large, puffy sweater and soft trousers and boots. The third elf, a young woman also with pale blue-grey skin, grins at the spectacle, laughing as Geneviève rolls her eyes slightly. Cass is dressed rather androgynously today - in a powder blue shirt, dark trousers, and a blue and grey argyle sweater vest, cut to present a slightly more masculine frame, and hair tied back into a ponytail, though she's accentuated her style with the final addition of a delicate lace choker around her neck.

"I'll get us some drinks, Geneviève. Be right back," says Cass, still smiling as she heads straight for the bar.

"Thank you, dear," comes the off-hand reply, as Geneviève glides serenely after her ever energetic son.

[Thanksmas Vigilants]

Separately, three more people arrive as a group, having shared transportation from Vigil. The first, a tall and sturdily built woman with dark skin and a long braid, is dressed rather more colorfully than her customary sober black jacket and trousers, radiant and cheerful with her hair adorned with tinsel and sprigs of holly, matching the laurel wreath of her buxom, red-headed half elf companion. Kalya and Rain are accompanied by none other than a certain devilishly handsome red-headed tiefling, who's wearing a comically garish Thanksmas sweater and somehow still managing to look dashing, despite the eyewatering nature of his attire. Now, what kind of trouble could this unlikely trio get up to?
