"A little chilly since we had to stand outside for a bit," Clara chuckles. "Other than that, I think they really need people and aren't particularly picky. I just signed my name to the roster."

Getting up from the table, the Elf walked over and gave Arista a kiss on the cheek, "I'll see you later then. I love you."
Going over to Celine, he kissed her on the top of the head, "Be a good girl for Mommy, okay Celine?"
Yulia emerges from the bedroom and puts on her cloak. "I'll see you this evening, love."

She smiles as he kisses her, "Alright love. Have a good day at the Temple, be safe and stay warm. I love you too. Lots and lots." She says kissing him back.
Drago gave Yulia a goodbye kiss, taking care not to cause any discomfort with her breast sensitivity. After picking up the basket for shopping, the Dhampir contemplated strapping on his newly awakened blade.
Looking at it, he asked, "If I take you with me, are you going to be quiet until we get back here and have a chance to talk?"
There was nothing from the sword for a solid several minutes, then, "Yes I will."
In agreement, Drago strapped the sword to his waist and headed to the market after putting on his cloak.
Celine kind of sinks down in her chair with her arms folded across her chest. Getting a pouty look on her face she sighs while rolling her eyes, "okay" She says with a pouty sound to her voice.
Arista sighs as she picks up a few more dishes to take into the kitchen. Why was Celine acting up now? She supposed she needed to explain to Celine what was going to happen today and that she was going to get to spend some time with Rajni and play with Juhi today while mommy took care of some things. A conversation she was definitely not looking forward to. Looking over at Celine she says, "Sit up in your chair sweetie and finish your breakfast and juice so we can start getting ready to go. I'll be back in a minute to check on you." Shaking her head she goes to the kitchen and starts washing the dishes.

Alethiro pursed his lips together briefly, he didn't like this attitude, but he didn't have time to deal with it at this precise moment. Giving Arista a look as if to say, We'll need to talk to her.
Giving Celine another kiss on the forehead, he headed to the front door, put on his new boots, his cloak, and left for the Temple.
Catching his look she nods in agreement before going back to the dishes.
She lets daddy kiss her before sighing again as mommy asks her to finish eating. She didn't want a bath and she didn't want mommy to go anywhere, she didn't want to go anywhere either. Why couldn't they just stay at home together? Why didn't mommy want to spend any time with her at home? Why did they always have to go somewhere? Feeling frustrated and angry she waits till mommy goes back in the kitchen and knocks over her juice glass before throwing her plate on the floor. She had already eaten most of it anyways and she didn't want anymore. Throwing herself back in the chair she crosses her arms, a scowl on her face. There...now mommy would have to spend more time cleaning it up and then maybe they wouldn't have to go out.
Having already finished the few dishes she had already taken back to the kitchen, she was just drying her hands when she heard the noise from the dining room. Putting down the towel she goes back to where Celine sits in her chair looking angry and takes in the mess on the table and floor. Going to Celine she stands her up in the chair so she only has to bend down a little to come down to her level and look in her eyes, "Celine...I don't know what's going on with you, but this is not okay. Now you pick up that glass and the plate off the floor and take them to the kitchen."
She shakes her head as she crosses her arms, "No"
She needed to nip this in the bud before it became a larger issue. She didn't know what caused Celine to start acting like this, but she would not allow a toddler to talk to her like that. She had already warned her once about not talking to her that way. Trying not to openly sigh in front of her she picks up the little girl she loved more than anything and sits down with her in a chair away from the mess on the floor. Turning her in her lap she takes a deep breath and lets it out, "Celine, mommy already told you to stop telling me no. When mommy asks you to do something, you do it. I love you very much Celine and I don't want to punish you, but it's never okay to tell me or Daddy no and you're getting a spanking now for not doing what I told you to do." She speaks slowly and calmly so that Celine knows she's not mad at her. Taking another deep breath to steady herself for what she knew she had to do, even though she really didn't want to, she knew that she couldn't let this kind of behavior continue. Celine had to understand that she was mommy and meant buisness and that when she told Celine to do something, she expected to be obeyed.
Taking one more deep breath she lets it out slowly before turning Celine over her knee and gives her three good swats on her bottom before standing her up and taking her crying to the kitchen. She takes a washcloth from the sink and takes the still crying toddler back to the table where she stands her up in the chair. Handing her the washcloth she says, "That's enough Celine. You clean up that mess right now young lady." She stands there watching her as Celine holds the washcloth in her small hands and continues to cry, even though there are no tears. Feeling the frustration build up she takes a couple of deep breaths and counts to ten as Celine still refuses to clean up her mess. She just stands there and waits till Celine realizes that she's not going to clean it for her and for her to stop crying. Once Celine has calmed down a little Arista addresses her again, "Celine, clean it up. Pick up that glass, wipe the orange juice off the table and then pick up the plate from the floor and the food you dumped off of it or you're getting another spanking, you'll sit in time out, and you won't get to see Hjorr for a week. Do I make myself clear young lady? Now get that mess cleaned up." She says not budging from her spot as she waits to see what Celine will do.
Still feeling the slight sting on her bottom she frowns. That ruined the whole point of dumping everything. Mommy was supposed to clean it, not Celine. She was really really angry now and it showed as her little face turned bright red with rage. Throwing the washcloth on the floor she stamps her feet in the chair while clenching her hands into fists at her sides. Now with angry tears coursing down her cheeks she leans forward into mommy's face and screams at the top of her lungs, She says before jumping up on the table and stomping her feet.
Letting out a little exasperated sigh she grabs Celine off of the table and without another warning gives her bottom another smack before taking her to the corner with the stool in it. Sitting her down on the stool she says in a calm and even tone, "You sit there Celine until I come and get you and don't get up." Going back to the table she wipes up the juice and picks up the cup before picking the plate and food up off the floor. Taking the dishes back to the kitchen she washes them while a few tears leak from her own eyes. What had gotten into her sweet baby girl? Putting the dishes in the rack to dry she rinses her cloth out with cold water before wiping her face with it. She didn't like spanking her, she really didn't but she refused to allow Celine's tantrums to go unchecked and the time for talk was over. Celine needed to understand that when she said she was going to do something she did it.
After taking a few breaths to calm herself she returns to the other room where a now sobbing Celine sits on the stool. Sitting down on the floor so she's eye level with her little girl she waits until Celine has calmed down before talking to her, "Celine...I love you and I'm sorry I had to spank you, but you have to listen to mommy and daddy. When one of us or both of us ask you to do something, you need to do it and not tell us no. Daddy and I love you, but this behavior needs to stop. If you're upset, it's okay..but it's not okay to dump over your juice or throw food and dishes on the floor." She pauses for a moment to let Celine process what she's saying before going on, "Now...since you disobeyed me, you will not go to the park or see Hjorr for a week and we're going to talk with daddy after dinner tonight. We love you Celine, more than anything but you need to use nice words and obey mommy and daddy. Understand?"
Having had time to calm down she rubs her eyes, "Be good girl?"
Sighing she nods, "Yes baby, you need to be a good girl. You are a good girl Celine and I love you, very very much...I wish you could tell me what's wrong. You don't usually act like this and I want to know....what's wrong? Are you upset about something? Talk to me Celine, use your words."
Getting off the stool she lays in her mommy's lap with her head on her leg. Sniffling a little she says, "I want stay home with mommy. Don't wanna a bath, or go out. I want you mommy...pwease don't weave me. Don't go mommy, don't go. I'll be good girl, pwease don't go." She says before starting to sob again.

Her own tears start to fall as she picks up Celine and holds her to her, stroking her hair and realizing...it was her fault that she was upset. Celine had been left by Garth and now by her several times to take care of things....she was failing her...how could she possibly explain why she had to leave sometimes? She didn't want to leave Celine...but she couldn't always go with her either. She hated that she had to keep leaving her with other people, but the things she needed to take care of were very important and the people in Priroda needed help. Holding Celine close to her and trying to comfort her she stands up and goes to the couch with her. Rocking her gently to soothe her she says, "Celine...I'm so sorry baby. Mommy doesn't like leaving you either but sometimes I have to go to work and I can't take you with me honey. Listen....I have to go help some people today, but you can go with me to see Ms. Jelks and then we'll go see Rajni and her kitty and you can stay with Rajni and play with her kitty and Juhi while mommy has to work okay? You're a good girl Celine, Mommy didn't know you were so upset about me leaving and I'm sorry I can't stay at home with you all the time, but I have to work. So...I'll make you a deal. You be a good girl for Ms. Rajni, and tomorrow we'll spend all day at home and bake some cookies okay? Would you like to do that?"

Calming down in mommy's arm she puts a thumb in her mouth. Her emotional outburst had drained her a little and she was feeling tired now. Taking her thumb out of her mouth she wraps her arms around mommy's neck and nods, "Okay....I'm sorry mommy. Don't cry..no crying mommy, no crying." She says as she wipes mommy's tears. She didn't mean to make mommy cry. She loved mommy, she just didn't want her leaving all the time. Giving her a kiss she says, "I'll be good..I sorry for mess, I sorry mommy."

She didn't even realize she had been crying. It was an emotional morning for both of them. She would really have to talk to Alethiro about this behavior though. She felt bad about having to leave all the time, but they couldn't allow her to get away with being disrespectful to grown ups. She had to understand that that type of behavior would NOT be tolerated. Nodding her head she wipes her face, "Okay then. Let's get you cleaned up so we can get ready to go okay?" Standing up she takes Celine in the bathroom and after getting her bath ready she puts her in the soapy water and lets her play for a little bit before getting her cleaned up and her hair washed. Once she's all rinsed off, Arista wraps her in a thick warm towel and takes her to the living room to dry her off. Sitting her down on the couch she lights the fireplace to warm up the room so that Celine's hair will dry more quickly. Going back to Celine she rubs her with the towel to dry her before moving to her head and rubbing her hair and head with the towel to help it dry. Wrapping her up in the towel again she carries her to her room where she takes out a warm, pretty green play set of clothes. Putting a change of clothes and some of her toys in a back pack along with a couple of training panties in case she had an accident. She takes her, her coat, socks, boots, scarf and mittens back out to the living room and puts everything down on the couch before using the towel to dry her hair a little more. Once her hair is completely dry, she brushes it out gently and puts it into a braid, leaving some of the curlier hair to fall around her face. "There....you look adorable." Letting Celine play in the living room for a little bit she goes back to her room and puts on a warm outfit and grabs her winter wear as well. Once she has both of them ready, she takes Celine's hand and locking the door behind them, heads off to see Jelks about the people of Priroda and find out what could be done about it. Getting outside she thinks on their way towards Jelks and Michael's school that maybe she could do this whole mommy home maker person thing after all. Looking up she notices the position of the sun and sighs as she realizes that it's already late morning.

After not seeing any signs of Arista and it getting to be after nine o' clock...she decides to take Shamara out for a bit and stop by the cafe for some coffee and maybe something sweet before taking care of Celine...if Arista actually brought her. Cleaning up her dishes once she's done eating she calls Shamara to her, "Mama...I'm gonna take Shar out for a bit. I'll be back real soon. If Arista shows up before I get back...just let her know I'll be right back. I'm gonna stop by and see Ms. Yulia real quick and I'll be right right back. Thank you for breakfast, it was delicious." She says giving her a kiss on the cheek and a hug, "I love you mama."
Getting to the school she knocks on the door.
Niels opens the door and sees Arista and Celine. "Good morning. Is there something I can help you with."
---
"Okay, Rajni," Asha says. "I love you too."
She nods, "Yes Mr. Niels, I was wondering if Ms. Jelks was home? I need to speak with her about something if at all possible."
"She's currently in session with her students," Niels informs Arista. "It'll be another hour before the students' first break."
Looking at Juhi she says, "When I get back, we can continue your crossbow lessons if you want to."
Giving him a smile and nod she says, "Okay, thank you. I guess I'll go see someone and then I'll be back. It really is a matter of great importance. I didn't want to bother her at all...but some things have to be taken care of. Anyways, just let her know I stopped by and I'll see her when her class is over." Leaving the school she heads for the cafe.
Gwen emerges from her bedroom. "I'm ready."
Alethiro arrives at the temple as Ulli finishes the morning service.
---
Juhi nods. "Yes, please."
---
Niels closes the door as Arista departs.
Giving her little sister a smile she says, "Okay, we'll get back to it as soon as I get back then. Come Shamara." She says before heading to the cafe for some coffee and something in a blueberry flavor hopefully....otherwise she'd just take whatever she had.
"Well I'm sure you'll be a great asset to the guard. I've noticed the way people look up or smile when you're out in the streets, at least that I've seen. You're very well regarded in town." Celia notes.
Gerard nods as he gets undressed. "It'll be a little easier on us, I think."
"Oui, with Valwick growing as it has it will be welcome." she replies, punctuated by a yawn as she finishes undressing, leaving her clothing on the floor. Tiredly she climbs into bed.

Gerard stretches out an arm to draw Amélie next to him as he closes his eyes.
"I've never noticed that before," Clara says, taking a bite of food.
Yulia smiles as Rajni, Shamara, Arista and Celine approach her cafe. Besides Zeph, these people were the ones that kept her going, even when she'd rather stay in bed.
Seeing Yulia she smiles, "Good morning Yulia, how are you today?"
Letting go of her mommy's hand she runs to Yulia, "Cookie....cookie pwease Ms. Yulie?"
Going to Celine she picks her up, "No ma'am. Little girls who dump their juice all over the table and throw their breakfast on the floor don't get any cookies. No cookies Celine, not this time." She sighs a little as she looks at Yulia, "We've had a....well...it's been some kind of morning already."
Her lip quivers as she looks at Yulia, "No cookies?"
Yulia shakes her head. "If your mommy says no, then I can't give you any cookies."
She gives the little girl an apologetic look before addressing Arista. "I was fine until Drago's sword started talking. I swear I thought he was done with the oddness after he gave up being a Summoner. Now it's something different...I guess I just have to get used to it."
Her mouth drops open as she shifts Celine to her hip, "Oh good grief, why can't...wait...he did what with his sword? I just...I don't even know what to say. I'm sorry...maybe he'll grow out of it? I just don't know why everything has to be a production with him. I'm sorry...this has just been a tiring morning already and I sure could use something hot to drink and one of your delicious treats. Celine can have some milk though. Thank you Yulia...it's been.. difficult." She says as she feels the tightness in her chest again.
She shakes her head, "The sword talked? Like out loud? That's just weird. Why do you feel like you have to get used to it? I mean...I don't know...that's kind of creepy too."
Her words trail off into moaning as Tes kisses and caresses her way down her body, the hands raching to touch her wife as she works her way back up her body, caressing her breasts, her fingers teasing her nipples, writhing slightly under her touch, her hands roaming her skin, needing to tough her, to feel her body against her own.
Intoxicated by her kissing, almost mad with desire, she lets out a shuddering moan of unbridled desire as Tes’ fingers find her wet cleft, for a moment burying her face in her wife’s neck as her body quivers with pleasure. Feeling the heat of Tes sex pressed against her thigh, the shaking with need of her beloved wife’s body atop hers she holds her close, bending her knee slightly to press her thigh into her wife’s grinding, savoring the feel of her wet heat against her flesh, the sounds of their mingled moaning, music to her ears. Crying out in pleasure as Tes’s teeth nip at her tender flesh her other hand trails the curve of one of her breasts, pinching a stiffened nipple as her hips rock, matching the fevered rhythm of her beloved goddess’ hips and fingers.
"That makes sense." Celia says with a small smile. "But it's true."
"Me too let's get going." Cyna says.
