Tesia returns the smile before digging into her own meal.
Clara steps into the bath first and holds her hand out to Celia.
Ylrhea follows after Sadhana.
"Good morning, Rhadaya," Charity responds. "Thank you for the breakfast, Tesia."
"I'll get the dishes, love, if you want to get Celine and yourself ready," Alethiro says as he finishes his breakfast.
Sienna returns about twenty minutes with several bags. "I didn't know what to get, so I got a little bit of everything Hadrinn had."
She nods as she finishes eating, "That sounds good love. Come on sweetie, let's get ready to go bye bye." Looking at Alethiro she smiles, "Your girls will be ready in a little bit." With that she picks up Celine and takes her to the bathroom to get cleaned up. After getting both of them cleaned up she takes her to her room and picks out some warm clothes that match and hand them to Celine, "You go ahead and get those on sweetie and mommy will be back to check on you after I get dressed okay?" Celine nods and starts stripping out of the outfit she picked out to put on the one mommy got down for her.
As Celine starts to get ready she smiles and goes to their room to get dressed herself. She selects a warm modified top, and a warm thick skirt. She finally dons some thick socks before pulling on her new thick winter boots. She sets aside her thick hooded cloak on a chair before holding out her arms, "Protect me". Once the armor is on her, she straps on her sword belt. She knew this wasn't a combat mission, but it never hurt to be prepared. When she felt ready she went and checked on Celine. Finding her struggling to get her boots on, she sits on the floor and helps her get her socks and the boots on. Standing up she gives her a hug, "You did a very good job of getting dressed Celine, I'm very proud of what a big girl you're becoming. Come into the living room so I can fix your hair."
Going into the other room with her brush and some ribbons, she brushes her daughters hair before putting it back in a pretty braid with ribbon woven into it, and ties it at the end with another piece of ribbon. Once she's done with her daughters hair, she brushes out her own and puts it back with her headband that has the flower design on it.
She nods as she eats. Between bites she says, "You're welcome. We'll be leaving for Lysse today, so just help yourself to whatever you can find in the box for lunch and dinner. I'm not sure if we'll be back today or tomorrow. I guess it just depends on how long everything takes."
"I'll manage," Charity says. "I've got work to keep me busy."
Alethiro finishes the dishes and goes to get ready for the trip.
"Okay, I just wanted to let you know what our plans were." She says with a smile and loving look at Rhy.
"Well, be safe on your trip."
She nods while finishing up her breakfast, "We will." Getting up from the table she takes her dishes to the sink and washes them before rinsing them off and setting them on the towel to dry. Going over to Rhy she leans down and kisses her on the top of her head, "I'm gonna go upstairs and start getting ready to go. Just come up whenever you're done and we'll go collect Warrin after we're both all set to go." Turning she heads up the stairs to their room to get ready for their trip.
Alethiro comes out to the living room. "Looks like we're all ready."
Coming out of Celine's bedroom with all her extra winter wear she nods as she starts putting extra layers on their daughter, "Do you think we'll have time for me to drop off some of these cookies that we made yesterday? I already have them all bundled up and ready to go."
"I think so," Alethiro answers. "We got an early start today."
She nods, "Okay, I figure I would give Tesia and Rhadaya's to them when we see them, I have a large bundle to take to the school, and a smaller one for Elena, Rajni, and their family. I'd also like to give Sadhana and Ylrhea's to them before we go too. I also have one for Yulia and Drago, I know she bakes a lot of stuff...but I thought maybe she would like some cookies to eat that she didn't have to make. And I have some for those that work at the Temple too. I'll give Esme some after we get back, I think it's a little early to be seeing her." She says as she goes over all the packages and where she wants them to go, "Do you think we can take the cookies to all of them before meeting everyone at Cyna and Sienna's?"
Alethiro smiles. "Maybe if we hurry."
She nods while packing the bundles of cookies into her smaller bag of holding, "Okay honey, if you'll carry Celine, I can take the cookies. I figured we'd go to the magic school first and then work our way back." She says as she grabs up the bag that she stored all of the cookies in.
Putting her hand out to stop daddy from picking her up she says, "I big girl, I walk. No carry me like baby."
Looking from Alethiro to Celine she lowers herself so she's the same height as Celine. Looking into her eyes she says, "We know you're a big girl now, but we have to hurry to get everything done so we're going to be walking pretty fast. If you want to walk it's okay, but if you get tired, let daddy know and he'll pick you up. Are you ready to go?"
Celine nods her head, "I strong mommy, I ready to go take cookies now."
She smiles as she stands up and takes her daughter's hand, "Alright, we're ready to go then. Celine, you hold onto mommy's hand and don't wander off. You stay with us so you don't get lost." She says before giving Alethiro a smile and nod tho let him know that they were ready to go.
Alethiro walks beside his wife and daughter as they head to Michael's school.
Arista keeps a pretty good pace, but tries not to go so fast that Celine can't keep up. Celine seems to enjoy the exercise and jogs at time to keep pace with her mommy's long strides. When they get to the school she takes a moment to catch her breath and let Celine catch hers as well. After a minute or so she knocks on the door.
Taking Clara's hand with a smile Celia steps into the bath and settles in.
Clara starts washing Celia's back before washing her hair.
Niels opens the door. "Good morning. What can I do for you today?"
Taking the largest package of cookies she holds them out to him, "If you could please give these cookies to Michael and Jelks for me? I made sure to put enough for everyone to enjoy a couple, but Jelks and Michael can decide how many to give the students. Celine and I made them yesterday and we just wanted to pass some out for others to enjoy." She says with a smile.
Sighing happily as Clara washes her back, Celia continues to bathe as the paladin washes her hair, her hand running over the stubble that had begun to grow on her own head. It was almost unbelievable that she'd gone from a tortured, tormented captive, to this......basking in what was quickly becoming the most melanin connection with another person in her life.
Looking at Clara, she can't help the radiant smile that crosses her lips.
Settling into the hot bath, Sādhanā begins washing Ylrhea's back, working in a massage of her neck and shoulders as she does..
"What's with the smile?" Clara asks with a chuckle. "Does my hair look strange when it's wet?"
"Oh, that's good," Ylrhea says, yielding to Sadhana's talented hands.
Finishing her breakfast,, Rhadaya takes the dishes to the sink, doing the same with Charity's if she's done. Hope you have a great day at work Charity tell Pandi we said hi. See you when we get back."[/b] the sorceress says heading upstairs.

Celia giggles, "No, just a couple of stray thoughts. The first is just how blessed I am to be here with you." she says washing off the soap from her skin. "The second......is no matter how much I want to ido shouldn't make you late for work...she says with a grin."

Clara blushes slightly. "Yeah...I still need to be able to afford living here and eating."
Charity smiles. "Alright, I'd better be on my way."
Rhy finds Tesia almost done getting dressed in her winter attire as she goes around the room making sure she has everything they need and getting her bag put together in case they need something while they're in Lysse, as she puts on articles of clothing before picking her armor up off the floor. Smiling at her wife as she comes in she says, "I should really try harder to keep things in a specific place in here so it doesn't end up all over the room."
Niels takes the cookies and smiles. "I will. Anything else?"
She shakes her head, "No Niels, we don't really need anything. Just wanted to deliver the cookies. Have a nice day." She says as they turn to leave and head towards the Tailor Shop.
Celine still manages to keep up as they get to the shop, but it's easy to tell that she's starting to get tired. When they get to the shop Arista opens the door and goes inside with Celine and Alethiro, "Good Morning." She calls out as they enter in the shop, unsure of where everyone might be.
Following her mommy's example she announces herself, "Good Mornin'."
Asha steps out of the back room. "Good morning. What brings you by?"
Arista takes the second largest package of cookies out of her bag and hands them to Celine, "Could you give those to Ms. Asha for me Celine?" Celine proudly takes the cookies to Asha and says, "We made cookies."
"Oh, you did?" Asha replies, taking the cookies. "Thank you very much."
She nods, "We spent the better part of yesterday baking cookies together so we thought we'd share some of them. I included plenty of each kind so there's enough for everyone here. I know you pretty much have a houseful now."
She gives her a big smile as she takes the cookies, "You welcome!"
Celia gins wider, at the sight of the blush spreading across the paladin's pale cheeks. "I suppose I can control myself," she says with mock resignation and a giggle. "Let me get your back."
Sādhanā smiles as she continues the massage, enjoying seeing her love relax at her touch. "You deserve the best love."
