-- Well, lads, to our health! -- Sigheber raises his mug and begins his speech. -- You fought well today, and I'm glad to see that the veterans haven't abandoned this glorious pastime, and the new faces are still fitting in with our group. We drink, we eat, we flirt with the girls – it's a day of Merriment, once a year. And, while we're still sober enough, I'll mention that books are being written about us. At least, about our fistfights. Hargen recently acquired some – if you're in the mood, he can read to us.
