February drags on, with the icy winds and the bitter cold. It takes a lot for the folks of the Old City to leave what little warmth they have, finding themselves huddled together just to fight the winter chill. The streets stay quiet as the winter drags on.

The four lovely ladies, ever present in the Old City gather at the Dagger and Dice, in front of the fire. Sameera scowls as she picks feathers out of the wood of the table, shaking her head. "Roosters. Feckin' roosters. I can't believe Niobe got knocked out by a feckin' ROOSTER. I heard'a cockfights. But this is a little ridiculous." She shakes her head and throws the feathers into the fire.

Yelda snickers, an old hat at dealing with strange events. "So, what yer sayin', Geloe an' Niobe planned a random get t'gether, folks showed up, talked a bit, then that Ignatia girl came in wit' some rooster, givin' Hypeius a hard time. Then, he started beatin' people wit' it? First Niobe, who stepped in b'cause she's got a thing fer kids, then Furen, knocked out Hypeius?" She leans back in her chair, laughing. "Feckin' good party."

Vellutra coughs a little bit. "Seems Furen's gettin' inta a lot of things. Was wanderin' 'round, ya know, an' saw him an Farik havin' words in Sarkell Neighborhood. Evidentally there was someone else there, makin' a snow angel, or jes layin' there. It was hard t'tell. Couldn' make out what they were arguin' 'bout. Some Istems business I figger."

Sameera shrugs and motions vaguely northward. "Wonder if it was th'body of whatever girl was found dead near th'Ol'City. Ain' heard much 'bout it, don' know th'girl's name. Ain' heard that any of our folk were in on it... probably feckin' wallers tryin' t'pin it on us. Any word if th'guard is gonna make an appearance?"

Yelda shakes her head and scratches her face. "Think she was killed by that griffon that flew through th'other day? I swear t'feck folks is either really bored an' doin' crime in all new ways, or things is jes feckin' weird. Some masked an' disguised guy, ridin' a feckin' griffon over th'Ol'City. Wasn' a Raider I don' think, but I hid pretty quick, jes in case. Feckin' griffons! An' not Jaz type Griffons neither."

Opalia, quiet until now just shakes her head quietly. "Seems th'traitor, Vixen's back in th'Dove, havin' t'pay a big price. Wonder how that came 'bout. She's stocked right by where I serve. Funny thing, but... gotta wonder what Gilin an' Evia is thinkin'. Probably keepin' a close eye on her."

Conversation fades to mild, less interesting topics and the women simply spend their weekly chat keeping warm. It's the theme of the long nights. Just keeping warm.
