Chapter 29: COFFEE!
............................................................................................................................................................................

Some time later, a few minutes no more, Bergelmir was disconnected and lead back to his quarters. He immediately found himself a place to lie down and slept for twelve hours.

Lamar was disconnected and lead back to HIS quarters. He Immediately rolled into bed and slept for twelve hours too.

Everyone not directly involved was puzzled. The work went on.

Just before sunrise, two days later, the command group gathered at the wall to welcome in the new day.

They had Coffee.

Morning coffee was becoming a morning ritual. This was a good time to generally chew the fat, brief everyone on current events and plan the day. Lamar froze with a coffee cup part way to his mouth. He stared open mouthed as Bergelmir , escorted by two nervous human soldiers with drawn guns, approached the wall.

“May I have a cup of coffee”... the Troll asked. His voice was contra-bass but it was easily understandable.

“Certainly “ said the Captain. ”Sergeant see to it that this man has cup of coffee. It looks like he’ll need a big one.”

To the Trolls escort he said” Thank you for your help guys, we can handle it from here on out, you are dismissed.”

The men holstered their weapons reluctantly, and left.

Almost immediately someone handed the Troll a bowl of coffee. There was no cup large enough so his coffee was in a soup bowl.

“Careful there Berg” said the Captain. “It’s hot.”

The Troll raised the bowl of coffee to his lips, then just held it. He took a deep breath. He closed his eyes and sniffed. He just sat there, pure Bliss. He’d never dreamed of anything like it.

“Wake up and smell the coffee…..huh... Berg?” asked the Captain taking a drink from his own mug.

The huge Troll observed the Captain then copied him. He took a sip of coffee and visibly relaxed.

So did everyone else.
