Archie's in the bar at a table nearer the back door than usual. Watchful. Full moon and all. If you need a warning, he's your man. Of course, he's open to non moon-related conversation as well, as always.
Archie hadn't see her go out. He stands abruptly when she comes in and hurries over to her, his face a mix of anger at himself for letting her slip by, worry for her, and relief that she seems to be unhurt. It is still mostly light out in this millitime, after all.
"Laerke, what were you doing out there this late?"
Not letting her push past, nope, not this time. See that arm? Yeah, way stronger than she is. In fact, he's gathering her into his arms, hugging her gently to his chest.
"Shh... He was just worried about you. There's a lot of dangerous things out in the woods at night, especially on the full moon. He just wanted to make sure that you were safe inside."

Not only in tears, but muddy, barefoot, and without a hat.

Her face screws up and she sobs, "He yelled at me!"
