"You didn't fight anyone, but you just said both reasons at once," he says gruffly, pausing to look away at the mounts and drawings on the wall before coming back in a seething tirade, albeit staggered to explain the numerous language barriers, "As you might have been able to see, I am an elder of this family, and there are 9 elders representing this village. It is customary in our tribe that we welcome travelers, especially those in need. At the Tervetuloa Kevään and other such celebrations, this is especially true, as some would not be able to walk home. Those that bring gifts at such an event are treated as honored guests, which makes the problems we're facing so damn frustrating!"
Eetu takes a huge swig of beer.
"Another tenet of our culture is that when a woman lies with a man, especially when unwed and on the night of the Tervetuloa Kevään, she leaves her outer cloak with the man to conceal until the next night as promise that she would come again. Although after the Tulossa Talvella, or "Coming of Winter" and before the Tervetuloa Kevään, shall a woman not give up her outer cloak, she shall remain without it the entire day. I, too, had many of these such incidences in my own time."
He stands up and begins pacing,
"It wasn't your questioning of the town that told me my second daughter slept with you last night, but that she was aloof and giggly the entire day, at least until she heard about it from some friends. In our culture, it is bad luck for the recipient of the cloak to tell others of what happened, and bad luck for others to tell the receiver of the cloak who did it or what it means."
He leans on the table, "I will not punish you for what happened with my daughter, as I feel you will have to deal with her on your own, but to have a disgrace on my head and on this house IS WHAT I FIND PARTICULARLY ANNOYING!" Eetu slams his hands down on the table, causing his beer to slosh in his tankard, "I WAS LAUGHED OUT OF THE COUNCIL TODAY, THERIC. HOW DO YOU SUPPOSE YOU'LL RECTIFY THAT?!"
