Title: Bandits Don't Stop for Midwinter Rating: G For: Idleness Prompt: Midwinter with 3rd company Summary: Hunting bandits during Midwinter is no fun Notes and Warnings: Idleness, I'm pretty sure this is not exactly what you were looking for, but the plot bunny got stuck in my head and wouldn't let go. I hope you enjoy it anyway!
*************************************
Lerant looked at the sky. "Just our luck," he muttered. "Storms."
"What would a bandit chase be without storms?" asked Wolset, coming up behind him.
"Hrmmff."
Dom stomped over and glared at the two of them. "Couldn't make yourselves useful, could you? Help get the tents set up."
Wolset went. Lerant stayed where he was. "Do you know what day it is?" he asked mournfully.
"Actually, I've completely lost track. Get moving, will you?"
"It's the first day of Midwinter," said Lerant.
"And bandits don't stop for holidays," said Raoul. Both Dom and Lerant jumped, not having known he was behind them. Raoul clapped Lerant on the shoulder. "Cheer up – after this, we'll have earned ourselves a nice long break."
"But no parties," said Lerant.
Dom crossed his arms. "Seeing as we're missing the parties whether you like it or not, you may as well help us set up – before the storm moves in."
Raoul shook his head mournfully. "You are brutally practical," he told Dom.
"Someone has to be."
"Insolent. Come Lerant, we may as well help. And perhaps one of the supplies wagons has some chocolate in it."

I try not to form expectations, hehe. But this is awesome. Poor Lerant! And I like that Raoul is a little bit of soft touch.

I'm glad you like it! There's some line in Squire (I think... unless Tammy said it somewhere else) that basically says that Flyn keeps Raoul's easygoingness balanced out. So I tried to write him not being all super-strict. And I imagine Dom is just grumpy And Lerant always gets the short end of the stick, doesn't he?
