Bard | Tolkien Legendarium | Seelie
[ He doesn't know where he is. More importantly, he doesn't know where his children are.
He'd been in the middle of battle, due to BotFA spoilery reasons. The battle had gone on for quite some time, and it had been much too long since he'd seen his children. He'd been told that they were in the marketplace, and he'd hurried over when suddenly--
Suddenly he was not in the ruins of Dale, but someplace else entirely. He listens silently as he's told what's going on: There's a great war going on (which, no duh), and they need him to help them fight it. They tell him nothing about the battle he'd come from, nor if his children are safe.
He keeps a tight grip on his sword as he's lead into a room with a great crowd and a great feast. He doesn't know where he is, he doesn't care where he is, as long as his children are safe. ]
I'm looking for my children, [ he says as he stops the first person who crosses his path. ] Two girls and a boy -- Tilda, Sigrid and Bain. Please, can you help me?
02. - The Station
[ He'd been informed that The Station has just about everything. He doesn't know what this wifi is that people seem to be so excited about, but eventually he decides that the station is worth checking out. He doesn't know what all there might be is in this huge pile of everything, but they are (supposedly) at war. Every little bit helps.
What he doesn't expect to find is an abundance of coffee. Which is situated next to the piles of chocolate.
Such items were rare, in Lake Town. And whatever did arrive past city limits went to the Master first. As such, he can not even remember the last time he'd had coffee or chocolate.
And so, if you were to come into the Station Kitchen, you will find Bard, standing there, looking for all the world like he'd just found buried treasure, trying to figure out which to consume first -- coffee or chocolate? ]

Choose Your Own Adventure!
02 because i literally cannot resist
Usually the stockpiles aren't nearly so grand, though the best did tend to go to the soldiers doing the fighting, while those at home sacrificed to make it so. That's something that has always been true, and something Thorin knows very well. But this?
After a passing glance at the Man in the kitchen (filing away his clothing as something very familiar, definitely from his own world), instead it's the coffee that gets his attention. It's been months since he's seen coffee, after the loss of so many supplies at the troll hoard with the ponies bolting, and before then it had been tightly rationed. So the idea that actually drinking coffee is a very real possibility has him entirely too tempted, despite his suspicion at...Well. Everything.
I never expected differently, tbh
But Lake Town is no more, not after the attack of Smaug. And all that remains of his clothes is what he wears on his back. Most supplies they had before were burned and lost. They had little before, but they have nothing, now.
He almost feels guilty, looking at the sight of coffee and chocolate, of plenty of food and drink for everyone and more besides, when he knows there's so little at home. He'd gladly go without, if only he could send a portion of this surplus to Dale.
But, to his knowledge, he can't. And he's certainly not about to let this coffee go to waste, is he? He's in the process of trying to puzzle out the Coffee Maker when he hears the door open. When he glances sideways at the door, he's expecting to see yet another unfamiliar face, but what he gets instead is Thorin Oakenshield. He braces himself for a rude comment, as they hadn't exactly parted on the best of terms, but what he gets instead is... silence?
He glances again at the dwarf and finds him just as entranced at the sight of coffee as he had been. Deciding to err on the side of caution, he keeps the quiet, jabbing a finger at a button on the coffee maker, and hoping he hasn't broken something when it begins to make noise. ]
