Favorite Drink: I would have to say ale, for the times I do get to enjoy the sweet of it, I am always with friends, having the most wonderous time.
What's your bedtime: Right after the sun goes...or whenever the dancers want to stop dancing, for how could they dance without music.
What, if anything, do you usually wear on your feet: I nice pair of worn down shoes, those are always the more comfortable.

Favorite Entertainment: Watching the Dancers fall down while doing a rather easy jig.
Favorite Subject in School or Chore growing up: I did not attend a school, nor did I have a chore, well I did have to practice all the time, I suppose that counts.
