Commander Braghaman Larethian

Cozy By The Fire

“Curse you, Percy the paladin!” Braghaman said in a gravely voice as he closed the book he’d been reading.

Looking down beside him, he saw Banagan curled up against his side with his eyes closed. Next to his son was Korissa, also curled up asleep though she was leaning against her mother. At the other end of the couch was Niviene. She rested her head against her arm on the back of the couch, her own eyes closed as well. All of them had a large quilt pulled over them as the paladin had read the children’s book.

Bragh smiled and gave a quiet chuckle. Carefully, he set the book down on the floor beside the couch and picked up the drink he’d set there earlier. Trying not to wake anyone, Bragh propped his feet up on the small table in the center of the room and took a sip of his drink. 

Surrounded by a chorus of quiet breathing, the paladin relaxed and watched the flames dance in the fireplace.
