Somewhere In the Middle of the Steppes
There was really no other way to put it.
There was also no real way to explain to Azula Tamiko how all of it had been achieved in the time she had been gone.
It seemed that in the short while of sending her urgent message, that the entirety of the inner-encampment had been turned into a massive celebration. Barrels of wine, beer, liquor, and whatever else had been found. Food meant for weeks from now was being cooked up in great stalls and upon massive fires. Men and women lay and sat carousing, some more liberal with their lips than others.
Dozens of musicians played all throughout the tent city that had suddenly sprang up. Some offering jaunty tunes while others quickly streamed words together in a fashion that some might call 'hopping'. All around the place, as Azula walked, she would find different kinds of celebrations as the cultures of the Canal workers streamed out.
Given permission to let loose, everything from Gnoll's to Centaurs threw their own little sub-parties, leading to a great cacophonous roar.
And at the center of it all?
There stood Christian Albrecht, perched upon two tables stacked upon one another. His tightly buttoned shirt had been torn open, a mug of what one hoped to be ale but might have been rum was in his hand. A roar of power escaped his throat as he brought the mug to his lips, and all around him the celebrants broke out into a loud cheer. "HE MIGHT FALL OFF AND DIE!"
Someone whisper-shouted excitedly besides Azula.
