The rest of the men sat at the front of the stage, drinking ale, laughing and a few were even singing. Caelian sat next to Cadeyrn, looking directly at him.
"You can show a bit more enthusiasm at being home. Drink a bit too much, take a girl home....".
Cadeyrn teasingly placed his hands over the child's ears, who was now sitting on his left leg. Completely oblivious, she simply grinned at the Warrior.
"Sounds more like your plans than mine." Cadeyrn said back to his friend.
Caelian laughed heartily.
"Right you are!", he said, grabbing the nearest woman and disappearing back into the noisy crowd.
Cadeyrn spared a glance at the Roman soldiers, who were still standing stoically to the side, drinking and a few murmuring amongst themselves.
His attention turned back to the stage as the doors opened and the troupe of dancers and musicians came out, immediately starting the entertainment for the night. Cadeyrn watched half-heartedly, taking in the faces of those around him, happy to see his men happy and home once again. It was sad to admit, but the Village held nothing for him anymore. He had no desire to start a family, dooming his sons to serve on the Roman Legionnaire Banners and run the risk of his daughters being viewed as nothing more than whores to their occupiers to serve their every need. Besides that, the one face he had searched for was either married already, or died somewhere in the hardships of the last 15 years.
Just as that thought crossed his mind, he caught a flash of red-hair, which in his tribe wasn't so common. Most of them had light brown or blonde hair. He looked closer at the features of the redheaded woman, a tug of familiarity followed by a surge of hope welled up within him.
It was her. Sorcha Ceardach, the Blacksmiths daughter though, all grown up now.

After an hour or so, the entertainment was now over. The Hall had begun to empty out as the most of the village people begun to go home and a few Warriors followed in suit.
Sorcha was making her way to the front door, no doubt to go back home or to the forge, so Cadeyrn had begun to rise to follow her out when he noticed a group of about six Legionnaires get up as well and follow Sorcha outside, lecherous looks and smiles on their faces.
Cadeyrn felt his temper flair and without letting anyone know of the situation at hand, and unfazed that he was unarmed, he followed the group outside.
