"Morning," Ylrhea says to Elsa as she and Celia head toward Asha's, which was thankfully nearby.

"Only if your hugs are magic," Sienna says.
"I guess so," Toni says, eating her muffin.
She sits at the table and drinks her water as she gives Juhi a chance to enjoy her scone.
Juhi shrugs. "I don't want to make things uncomfortable by being very formal."
Priya takes a apple cinnamon scone. "Nonsense, just be yourself."
Yulia pours Tesia and Rhadaya a couple of hot chocolates, putting whipped cream on top. She then produces some muffins and scones. "Here are your choices: apple cinnamon, banana nut and chocolate chip."
Konstantyná walks into the main room, Lucy behind her. "Hello, Arista. What's wrong?"
She nods, "Auntie Priya is right, you're fine...just the way you are. You don't have to be any certain thing around us, just be whoever you want to be okay?"
Tesia's mouth nearly waters, "Could I have a banana nut muffin and a chocolate chip scone?"
She lets out a little sigh, "It's these things." She says gesturing towards her breasts as she didn't really want to touch them, "They've been feeling tender and swollen ever since I woke up this morning....of course it didn't help that Celine was laying on top of my chest...but I think they were hurting before that. We saw Alethiro's parents today and I was talking to Marla and she said I might see about getting some better support, which I've done...but she also said there might be some kind of cream or something that I can put on them to make them feel better and that I should check with you about it. Do you have anything like that?" She says sounding slightly whiny and hopeful at the same time.
"Of course," Yulia says.
She takes one of each and smiles happily at Rhy, "What would you like sweetheart?"
Konstantyná goes to a cupboard and brings out a small jar. "Here you are. Just apply it once a day."
Juhi smiles and nods. "Okay."
She takes the jar from Konstantyna, "Thank you so much. How much do I owe you and when do I need to see you again for a check up?"
She smiles and drinks more water.
"Don't worry about paying me for that," the Midwife says. "I have plenty in supply. Let's wait until the weather lets up a bit before I start coming by again."
She nods, "Okay, I better get home to Alethiro and Celine."
"Stay warm," Konstantyná says. "I mean it."

She nods as she takes a step back towards the door and puts her cloak back on and pulls the hood over her head, "I...I am...see, I brought my really thick cloak. It's not really far from here to home and I'm sure Alethiro will already be warming up the house soooo...see...yeah, plenty warm." Opening the door she gives the women a wave, "Bye you two, have a good day." She says as she nearly trips through the doorway and hurries home.
She didn't know what it was about the midwife that made her feel like a kid about to get scolded again, but there was just something about her that really scared the crap out of Arista. It obviously wasn't her size...but it was something, maybe she just reminded her of her mother...but for whatever reason Konstantyna always made her feel like she was always in trouble.
"Oh, good morning. Sorry, my mind was elsewhere."
"Enjoying the weather?" Ylrhea asks.
"Just a little. I love the snow."
Glancing at the balance beam, he said, "This? This was to put to practical use the balancing exercise we practiced earlier. However, given what happened yesterday, do you feel it necessary to continue with the training?"

"Here's the thing. When it comes to combat experience, I have that in droves. I understand the vast majority of weaponry and their use. the magus explains. "My fighting style incorporates both martial techniques and magic. What I need is to get used to incorporating the use of a shield. I can figure things out as I go, but tips from a shield expert, or even just having an example to observe would be helpful. I'm a very quick study, in fact most things I nly need to see once."
"The apple cinnamon sounds delicious." Rhadaya says breathing in the amazing smells.
Celia smiles. "It is pretty, despite the cold. Though it doesn't seem to be bothering you." she says noting how lightly dresses Elsa was.
Ammon nodded and replied, "I understand that completely. And if that is the case, then this exercise should be all you need."
He's climbed up on the beam. Looking down at the Magus, "It's very simple. Climb up here and knock me off. But no magic, just sword and shield."

Arista hurries through the snow, stomping the snow off her boots before opening the door and going inside. Hanging up her cloak she calls out, "I'm home."
Elsa smirked, "Well, it helps when you're a frostborne mage."

Sādhanā looks up at the beam. "Okay, let's do it."
"Yes I suppose that would be pretty useful." Celia says with chuckle.
Celine had been playing quietly for just a little bit in her room when she heard her mommy's voice. Dropping her toys she gets up and goes to the living room, "Mommy!" She exclaims as she runs to mommy and wraps her arms around mommy's legs.
She laughs as she's tackled by their daughter, "Hi sweetie, be gentle with mommy okay? Not too rough." She bends down and picks her up. Smiling she gives her a kiss and a hug, "I missed you baby. Were you a good girl for daddy? Where is daddy Celine? Did you tie up daddy somewhere?" She asks jokingly while laughing lightly.

Ylrhea shivers a little. "Would you like to come along with us, Elsa? We're going to get Celia some warmer clothes and, if you're going to chat, I'd rather not freeze my rear off."
Celine laughs and points towards the kitchen and then shrugs before bursting into another fit of giggles.
She nods, "Ah...I see. Alethiro? Honey, where are you?"
She nods her head in agreement, "Yeah...everything actually sounds delicious." She says as she looks over at her wife and gives her knee a squeeze. Looking back up at Yulia she says, "I'm really glad you were open today."
Rajni sits at the table nervously as Shamara puts her head in her mistress's lap, while Rajni waits for everyone to be together so she can give them her news.
"Almost thought about staying home, but...eh, it would have been boring," Yulia says.
Drago arrives at Halfpocket's. There are a few customers inside buying winter necessities.
---
"Do you want to review stuff now?" Juhi asks Rajni. "You just look a little...distracted."
Alethiro came out with a tray of hot soup. "Right on time, I just finished making this."

She looks at Rhy and giggles. There was nothing boring to her about being at home, as long as Rhy was there. Blushing slightly she looks at Yulia and smiles, "Well thank you for not wanting to be bored. I don't know how to make that hot chocolate drink and I love that stuff you put on the top too."
Not surprised. Drago thought as he looked at getting a couple winter blankets.
She looks at Juhi and gives her a smile, "Sure, if you're ready and want to. I just want to go over the safety stuff and make sure you remember everything from last time before moving onto the next step."
"Yeah, but it does tend to make summer slightly uncomfortable."
Going over to him she smiles and gives his cheek a kiss, "Awe honey, you cooked? That's so sweet. Want me to get some bowls?"
