The Reclamation of Zahvroma (Inactive)

Game Master Signore di Fortuna

"Yes thanks," Hitome answers, walking towards Jin's room. "This is perfect."

She nods with a happy smile of her face, "Yeah, and I can hear the ocean from my bedroom. Can you hear it Hitome? Isn't it lovely?" She says in a somewhat dazed and dreamy state as she hands the bed linens to Hitome.

"I can. Even better is the smell of the sea air," Hitome says taking the bedding with a smile. It was good to see Jin more relaxed that she could recall seeing her except when playing music or in Gyo's company.

Finishing the bed she goes to the window and opens it. Taking a deep breath she sighs, "I almost forgot what it smelled like. We lived next to the river, but it just isn't the same." She says while rubbing her arms a bit. The air was really cool, but she just loved the smell and sounds of the ocean so much she couldn't help herself.

Grinning Hitome nods at the window. "As good as it smells though, Gyo won't let either of us hear the end of it if you catch a cold." she says noticing the slight shiver from her Summoner.

Looking down she sighs, "Yeah...I know. She's different from other eidolons I guess? I think the reason she's so overprotective though is because she's been with me since I was a little girl, so I think she sort of thinks of me as...well, hers." She says with a shrug as she takes one more deep breath of fresh ocean air before closing the window and walking back towards the bed and Hitome, "I guess I'll go downstairs and start putting the food stuff away while you make up your bed. I didn't realize how wonderful everything and everyone would be when we got here. I really think things are going to be okay." She says with a little more conviction than she had before. Giving Hitome a smile she heads to the kitchen to put away their dishes, cutlery, and food stuff.

Alethiro sets Celine down on the floor once they are back home. "Do you need Daddy to help you get out of your winter wear?"

Too sleepy to care who helps her she just nods her head, "Please help."

Arista smiles and gives her daughter a kiss on the forehead before giving her husband a soft kiss on the lips. She goes into their bedroom to get out of all her extra layers before going to the kitchen to pack up some more cookies for their other friends, the school, and a couple others that she thought would like the treat.

Alethiro helps Celine out of her warm wear and lays her down on her bed.

With a full tummy and tuckered out from all of the mornings activities, she just stands up on the bed and puts her arms around him, "Night night daddy, love you." Stretching up she pulls herself up slightly while holding onto him so she can give him a kiss on the cheek before getting back down onto her bed. Scooting under the covers she grabs her dolly and bear before snuggling with them and closes her eyes.

Alethiro heads to the bedroom to take off his winter wear before joining Arista. "She fell asleep pretty fast."

She nods while putting six of each cookie in their own cookie jar, "I pretty much figured she would. We were really busy this morning and she did a lot of stirring and cleaning." She sets parcels of wrapped cookies aside before turning to put her arms around her husband, "Thanks for putting her down for her nap. I wanted to get things sorted in here."

"I was glad to," Alethiro says, giving Arista a gentle squeeze.

Giving him a smile she says, "So...Celine is down for a couple of hours at least and we have nothing pressing to do....is there anything you'd like to do?"

"Sit down for a minute and let my feet rest," Alethiro says with a laugh.

Leaning into him for a moment she smiles, "Well, I wouldn't mind snuggling on the couch for a little bit if you want to get off your feet for a bit."

Smiling to herself, Hitome takes the linens to her bedroom, making the bed and arranging things to her liking as Jin got them settled in downstairs. Things had turned out far different from how she'd imagined them, not that she really knew what to expect, but Valwick was already beginning to feel like home in a way.

Adding a generous amount of honey, Rhadaya sips her tea with a happy sigh.

Jin hums happily as she starts by putting away the dry food stuff before moving on to the dishes, cutlery, cooking utensils, and finally the pots and pans. Anything that needed to be kept cold would haved to wait till Mr. Michael brought them their cold box.

After finishing she goes to the table and sits down to let her feet rest. She starts thinking about things while she sits there. While losing her love had been one of the hardest things she had been through, for the first time in over the year since his death, she felt a sense of purpose and peace that she hadn't had in a long time. As the feeling of contentment washes over her, Jin thinks about how much he loved her and how he would want her to continue to live her life and find happiness, even if it couldn't be with him. Thinking about him a tear escapes her eye, but it's okay. It's a release type of cry where she feels like it's finally okay to let go of the past because she feels that this is what he would truly want for her, to be able to move on and live her life.

Closing her eyes she silently prays to her Goddess for guidance and true peace. She asks for help to keep her heart and mind open to love so that she doesn't have to live the rest of her life alone. She thanks her Goddess for allowing her to have such a wonderful first love, and knows that whoever she has in mind for her will be just as wonderful as he was. Finishing her prayer she wipes the tears from her face and just sits there as she listens to the sounds of the ocean.

Tesia smiles as she fixes her own tea with honey and lemon as she sits beside her love. Taking a few sips she sighs happily as well, "Mmmm...that's pretty good. Would you like me to get you anything to go with the tea?" She asks as the three of them sit at the table together.

Alethiro puts an arm around Arista. "I wouldn't object to that. We should get a couple of those foot rest things."

She nods, "Maybe we can check into it on a day when it's not so icky outside?" She suggests as they make their way to the couch.

Alethiro nods. "Sounds good. Maybe we can look while we're in Lysse."

"Sure," Charity answers. "I wouldn't mind a little something. What do you have?"

Getting up she goes to look in the fridge, "Well, we have stuff for sandwiches, and I think there's a few left over muffins and stuff from Yulia's Cafe. Anything sound good?"

Sitting on the couch she leans against him, "Yeah...I guess we could look while we're there....but how would we get the furniture back home? I'm not sure it would fit in my bag of holding, even though it is really big."

"A muffin definitely sounds good right about now." Rhadaya answers with a grin, thinking about how tasty Yulia's baked goods were.

Getting one of the banana nut muffins sche puts it on a little plate and takes it to her wife. Setting it on the table in front of her she kisses her on the top of her head before turning to Charity, "What would you like?"

As she sits there she suddenly remembers what Toni said about talking to Mr. Michael about the hot water and cold box. They could save him a second trip if they went to thed school a xnd asked him about it before he brought her other stuff to them.

Getting up from the table she goes back to where Hitome is setting up her room and goes in, "Hey Hitome, I got the stuff put away downstairs and I was thinking about what Toni said. Should we go back tho the school and ask him aboutg the cold box and hot water so he doesn't have to make two trips?" She asks, her eyes and nose seem to be a little red, but she doesn't sound distressed.

"I'll take a muffin too," Charity answers.

Tesia gets another banana nut muffin for Charity and the last chocolate chip muffin for herself. Taking them back to the table she puts the muffin in front of Charity, "There you are, at some point I guess we're gonna have to see Yulia about restocking our baked goods supply. Or I'm gonna have to learn how to make some yummy treats." She says while sitting down at the table next to Rhy with her own muffin.

"We'll think of something, I'm sure," Alethiro says.

She nods as she lays her head against his chest, "Okay, we'll look while we're there then as long as we have time. I still have other matters that I have to talk to the Baron about."

"I know," Alethiro says, running his fingers through Arista's hair.

She hums softly as he runs his fingers through her hair, "Mmmm...that feels nice."

Alethiro lets out a yawn. "Sorry...I guess everything today wore me out."

She gives him a squeeze, "It's alright honey, should we take a nap while she's napping?"

Alethiro nods sleepily. "Sounds like a plan."
