Putting a small hand on the side of Asha's face she asks, "Potty?"
"I'll be sure to improve and make pancakes at home eventually," Sienna chuckles.
"Yes, Celine," Asha says, taking the girl to the bathroom. "Do you need help?"
Gwen grins. "I'd like that."
Yulia brings the two women their drinks. "Now, what would you like to eat? I have sandwiches, muffins, cookies and some soup simmering."
She looks at the large potty a little nervously for a moment. Looking around the bathroom she spots the little step stool. Shaking her head she pulls the little stool over to the potty and climbs up on it before pulling down her panties and sitting on the potty. When she's done she flushes it and climbs down off the stool. Pulling the stool to the sink she climbs up and washes and dries her hands. Getting back down she shows her hands to Asha and smiles, "All done." She says before yawning again.
"Can we split a sandwich and have a bowl of soup each?" Lucy asks.
"Good girl. Mommy's been teaching you well," Asha says, taking Celine's hand and walking back to the bedroom with her. She notices Shamara prowling around the bed. "Oh, you want a nap too?"
Yulia nods. "Sure."
She smiles at the slightly romantic order before heading back to the kitchen.
Arista smiles as she finishes up her sandwich. She sits for a couple more minutes to drink the rest of her water slowly, as she tries to relax and breath easier even with the tightness in her chest.
Finally finishing her sandwich and water she leaves a couple gold on the table, "Thank you so much Yulia, everything was delicious. Especially the chocolate muffin. I better get back to the school, I still need to talk to Jelks." Looking at Konstantyna and Lucy, "You both have a wonderful day." She says before giving Yulia another smile and leaving to head to the school.
Shamara purrs and jumps up on the bed to lie down with the little girl.
She points at the cat, "Kitty sleep too?"
Juhi giggles. "Yes."
Drying her hands she heads into the living room and sees Celine's toys scattered around. She picks them up and puts them back in the backpack before heading upstairs to look for the girls, "Celine...Juhi....are you up here?"
Asha comes out of the bedroom with Juhi. "Celine's taking a nap with Shamara right now."
She nods, "Aahhh I see. Arista had said something earlier about Celine giving her a hard time or something. She was probably as worn out as Arista looked when I saw her at Yulia's this morning. Well...I got a practice range all set up behind Hadrinn's for you Juhi. Since Celine is napping we could go now, or wait till after lunch. What would you like to do Juhi?" Looking at her mama she says, "I saw the toys scattered downstairs and thought the girls had come up to play. If Celine is going down for a nap already she'll probably be out for a while. At least an hour or two. I picked up her toys downstairs and put them back in the backpack that she brought so they weren't all over the place." She says as she gives Juhi a moment to think about what she wanted to do.

Celine lies down on the bed and snuggles down under the covers with the kitty. Laying next to the warm kitty, she falls asleep in a few minutes with her arms around Shamara.
Tesia gives her wife a little squeeze as they get to Hadrinn's. It was still pretty cold outside, but at least the snow had stopped falling for now. Going up the steps with her she gets to the doors and opens them for Rhy, "After you my love." She says as she takes her wife's hand and kisses it tenderly.
Beaming, Rhadaya stomps her boots lightly to shake off the excess snow, and sweeps in ushering in her wife behind her as she heads for an empty table.
Smiling she stomps the snow off of her own boots before following her wife inside and to the table. Getting to the table she holds out a chair for her love.
Finally getting back to the school she knocks on the door once again.
Clara smiles as well. "Do you have any family, Celia?"
"Yes I do, both of my mothers are back with our settlement. Celia says as they continue to walk. "Once we establish contect and let everyone know what has happened with the others, I'm sure they'll be happy to hear from me again."
"I'm sure they will," Clara says as the reach Kierk's. She raises her hand in greeting toward the dwarf.
The dwarf approaches. "What kin I do fer ye today?"
---
Niels opens the door and nods at Arista. "She's waiting for you in the sitting room."
He guides Arista to the sitting room where Jelks sits with some tea.
---
"Let's wait until after lunch," Juhi says to Rajni.
Hadrinn approaches Tesia and Rhadaya. "Good morning. What can I get for you?"
"We're in the mood for something hearty, and sweet I think." Rhadaya says sitting and smiling up at Tesia as she pulls out the chair for her.
"Pancakes, eggs and sausage then?" the dwarf asks.
"I need a key made," Clara replies, pulling out her house key. "Can you do it?"
Kierk looks over the key. "Migh' take a couple hours t' get it right, but yes."
"Alright," Clara says. "I suppose Celia can pick them up when you're done. I should be heading to work."
She turns to Celia. "Will that be a problem?"
She nods as she helps push in her wife and goes to sit across from her, "That sounds wonderful. Could I have some hot tea to go with it as well?"
Arista nods, "Thank you." She says as she enters the sitting room, "Hello Jelks." She says as she takes a seat and lets out a sigh.
"Not at all. I'll take a walk around a bit and come back in a few hour to get it. I'll see you later, have a good day at work." Celia says giving Clara a smile.
Rajni gives her a smile and nods, "Okay, sure. Was everything okay with Celine? Did you have fun? I know she's a bit younger than you..." She trails off, not sure what she was trying to say and feeling bad about going off and leaving the girls alone with her mother when she was supposed to be the one watching her.
"That would be prefect." Rhadaya agrees fidgeting ever so slightly and giving Tes a coy smile that made the patterns on her skin tinge purple.
Tesia smiles back at her wife, a light blush spreading from her cheeks to the tips of her ears.
"It was fine," Juhi says. "I taught her some shapes."
Clara returns the smile. "I'll try."
She heads off towards the fort.
"I'm half-tempted to skip breakfast," Ylrhea sighs, her heartbeat returning to normal.
"Hello, Arista," Jelks responds, sipping her tea. "What can I do for you?"
Hadrinn nods and brings back two teas and two plates of breakfast.
"That doesn't sound like a bad idea to me." Sādhanā says blissfully laying back as she plays with Ylrhea's hair.
Ashram opens the door, looking a little pale. "I think I just need some rest today, Alethiro. What brings you by?"
"Just came by to see if you needed any help with your rounds today. I'm guessing you do since you're under the weather. Do you have a list or something I can follow?"
She sighs a little before taking a breath, "Well....first of all congratulations. It was a beautiful ceremony. I was really hoping this could wait and give you and Michael more time before bothering you with it....but since the weather has turned so cold so fast, there isn't as much time as I had hoped. I was just wondering.....has Barclay had a chance to talk to about the people in Priroda? I talked to him about it a few days ago, but a lot has happened since then and I didn't know if he had a chance to speak with you yet."
Tesia applies a liberal amount of butter and syrup to her pancakes before digging in. As soon as she smelled the food she realized how ravenous she was. She tried to remind herself that she was in public though and not just inhale her food whole. She sweetens her tea with some honey before sipping on it between bites of pancakes, eggs, and sausage while sneaking looks at her wife occasionally.
Rajni smiles, "That was very nice of you Juhi. I hope you had some fun too. I think it's good for Celine to have a slightly older friend who happens to be very smart. I just hope you like our practice this afternoon. Since it's still pretty cold outside, we'll probably only stay out there for an hour or so. Just long enough for you to get the feel of it in your hands and practice aiming it at some stationary targets."
"There's usually a list by the temple doors with people who need help during bad weather," Ashram says, stifling a sneeze.
