Clearing in the Preserves, Tuesday Afternoon

[not_every_mage]

Anders was relieved to see the day he and Nathan had set for their picnic had dawned clear and warm. He made his way to the clearing and got the space organized, spreading out a blanket and putting the cookies, fruit and drinks he'd brought to one side.

The shop had refused to sell him the ale he'd wanted -- something about drinking laws -- but he'd gotten lemonade and sweet cider, and those seemed almost as good. Not that he thought the choice of beverage could ruin his time with Nathan, but fussing over that kept him from fussing over anything else.

He was, perhaps, a tad excited. (And a tad nervous.)

[OOC: For that one boy.]

Nathan knew the preserve well so he knew where the clearing was which made it easy not to be late. He didn't want to show up too early and chance the food cooling so he timed his arrival as best he could.

He'd baked fresh bread and made sandwiches since that seemed like the best picnic food. It wasn't too messy or too much to carry. He'd added a few bags of potato chips and some cookies and that's what he was carrying when he arrived.

When he stepped into the clearing, he waved and said, "Hello, Anders." He smiled after greeting Anders and walked closer.
