Eirveth was walking towards the barracks after she finished her duty at the stables. Fell into her thoughts on the way, entered the house and walked over to the counter. She was about to ask for a mead when Baldead with some other riders walked out from the other room and he jumped up to the counter in front of her. She moved away a bit and waited for him to tell what he wish to.
She was smiling when heard his words about his birthday, she knew it well and prepared for that day. Raised her mug what she just got by this time and shouted out: "Let's raise our mugs for that brave rider! May you have more years among us Baldead! Skol!"
Everyone was cheering, shouting around by now. Some of them may drink too much and started to fight or to drum on the table. A maiden was playing on her flute in the corner, some others may join her to dance. Just like Nadoran. He was pushed towards a maiden by Eirveth.
In the next time Nyaeve moved towards the counter to ask for some mead and she started a drinking contest between Baldead and Hadobald. When they finished, they jumped towards two other riders and started another fight. A rider by the door throw a mug towards Eirveth, she became angry at him and moved closer to punch him, another fight started.
In the middle of that all, the maegisterwigend stepped into the barracks with some other riders and asked around what's going on. Nadoran tried to save that all and lied to him, when Eirveth stepped closer to them and said it's her birthday. The man accepted her answer and left the barracks.
And another drinking contest started when Baldead shouted out to Eirveth and Nyaeve. They played and their healer become drunk by this time. She jumped up to the table to dance, while Eirveth played on her harp. Everyone started to dance around and enjoyed that unusual night.
