Wash them out
For the first time in years, breakfast in Strongfort is a peaceful and lively affair.
Almost all the bad guys in Strongfort met their deaths, either in the army, or through Sasha's investigation.
The remaining were the ones who were honest of character, and steadfast in their work. Sure, there were one or two bad seeds that were left over, however, Sasha is sure she could weed them out in the coming days.
The spread on the table is neither rich, nor meager.
There were freshly made crumpets, clotted cream and winter berries. There was no fig jam or lemon curd, both of which were always served, owing to them being Sasha's favorites.
There are the hearty oatcakes, made with the slightest hint of honey, usually eaten dipped or soaked in hot milk.
There's winter rose tea, along with the barley tea.
