Dawnlark Plains three-day weekend

That avatar is too cute, Shylock. :)

Lo and behold, he was met with a chipper young lass who seemed to have a skip in every step. But perhaps he was imagining things. She asked him what he knew of the area, and he shrugged. "No more than you do, I'm sure," Ovaltine replied. "I've only just arrived. My name's Ovaltine Driftwood." He wasn't able to get another word in before somebody else arrived. A male, perhaps around the same age as himself, though probably a whole heckuva lot more rooted. That was pure speculation on Oval's part, of course.

Ovaltine glanced to Shylock, then returned his gaze to the latest arrival. "Maybe this guy could help us both out." He paused, then decided it would be best to introduce himself to the new guy as well. "I'm Ovaltine Driftwood. This little lady is Shylock, though we've only just met. What can you tell us about this area?" he asked, making his question a more direct one.
