She nods, "Okay, I'll see you next time. You know you're welcome any time right?" She says, getting up as well to walk Esme to the back door.

"I know," Esme says, giving Arista one last hug and heading out.

Returning the hug, Arista watches her sister leave before shutting the door and cleaning up the kitchen. With a stretch and a yawn, Arista carefully makes her way through the living room, takes care of her more personal needs, and then falls into bed after getting changed and thanking Sarenrae for such a wonderful day with friends and family and asks her to watch over those that are not at home.

Curling up to her husband, she kisses his cheek softly before covering up and closing her eyes.

Do you want anything to happen with Rajni? I dunno at this point.

Let me figure it out after I get home. They have to bed woken up eventually don't they? They can't just sleep all day, especially Juhi.

Just do whatever you want. If you want to wait to move things forward until everyone's caught up time wise, that's fine. Just do whatever you feel like doing.

I might need the Summoner thread to catch up before doing anything.

That's fine

Gerard walks back into the house after his trip to the market and goes to the kitchen. He gets the cookware out while Amelie rests and starts frying up some strips of pork. ♫"I bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan. I do it because I love my woooooooman."♫

Wheel of Maternity: 1d8 ⇒ 3 Scent sensitivity...well that's unfortunate.

After a while, Amélie awakens to a familiar smell. Opening her eyes she sits up to realize that while she definitely recognized the scent of cooking bacon, something that normally got her mouth-watering, today it made her queasy. Which wasn't at all fair since Gerard was probably being a total bien-aimé and making her breakfast.

After finishing breakfast, Gerard walks into the bedroom. Seeing Amélie awake, he smiles. "How are you feeling today?"

"Not too bad all things considered, though I think today is one of those days where smells bother me." Amélie says with a shrug, before moving to give her love a kiss.

"Is it the food?" Gerard asks. "I can make something else."

Awwww....hims so sweet.

"I think so, sorry my love....I'm such a bother lately." Amélie groans, a flicker of frustration passing across her features.

Gerard smiles and kisses Amélie's forehead. "You are not. The baby is just finicky. What do you think you can manage today?"

Toni walks into the tailor's shop and gently nudges the sleeping Rajni. "Hey."

Rajni wakes up with a bit of a start, then settles down as ahe realizes that Juhi is still asleep on her. She groans quietly as the stiffness in her neck hits her. Looking up she seems a little confused, "Huh? Toni? How long have I been here? Did I oversleep? Am I late for the wedding?" From thed look of her messy hair, she had been there a while.

Toni shakes her head. "I just got back myself. I was only out for a few hours."

Rubbing her eyes for a bit she tries to get feeling back into her arms, "Give me just a sec to get her upstairs, then we can talk. I don't want to wake her." She says quietly.

Shifting her weight slightly, she wraps her arms around Juhi before sitting up a little more on the couch so she disturbs her as little as possible. With her feet under her, Rajni stands carefully and takes Juhi upstairs. Tucking her little sister into her bed she kisses her forehead before returning downstairs to Toni, "Sorry about that. I was telling her a story earlier and I guess we both just kinda passed out. So...what's going on?"

Toni shrugs. "Nothing much, just dealing with Summoner business. Don't worry, though. We're still taking our camping trip."

She smiles, "Day after tomorrow right? Are we all meeting up for breakfast before we head out of town? I think I have everything I need now."

"Yeah, it might be a good idea to eat before we head out."

"Ya wanna just tell whoever is gonna go with us to meet us at Hadrinn's then?"

Toni nods. "I'll let them know."

Putting a hand on her arm she asks, "Is everything okay? You just seem a little...I don't know, worried or distracted. Is there anything I can do?"

"I'm fine," Toni says. "Honest. I'm just having to think about a lot of things and a lot of people now."

She nods, "Okay, I know you're up to your eyeballs in stuff...but if you ever need me...or anything, I'll be there for you okay?"

"Yeah, I know," Toni says. "Crap...I forgot to tell Barclay something..."

She sighs and sits on the couch. "I'm cold and tired now..."

"It's okay, you'll make yourself sick if you keep going out in that cold wet weather. Why don't I make you some tea, and you can give me a note or message or whatever and I can give it to Barclay for you?"

"Okay," Toni groans.

Grabbing some parchment and a quill she takes them to Toni, "Here, you can make out a note for Barclay while I make your tea. After I give you the tea, I can take the note to him for you. Okay?"

With a nod, Toni starts writing out a short note to Barclay.

Rajni leaves Toni to write her note as she goes to the kitchen to make her tea.

A few minutes later, Rajni emerges from the kitchen with a steaming mug of liquid. As she hands it to Toni, it smells minty with a hint of lemon and honey, "I thought this one would make you feel better. I sweetened it and added some lemon to it for you throat. Give the note to me and you stay here on the couch and relax."

As she takes the note, Rajni helps put some pillows behind Toni and covers her with the Afghan blanket on the couch, "There, now you just relax and I'll be back in a little bit."

Toni sips on the tea. "Okay, just keep an eye out for slick spots on the roads."

"Don't worry, I'll be careful. You just get some rest before you get sick." Going into the kitchen, Eri gets her heavy hooded cloak and bundles up. Putting the note in her pocket, she calls Shamara and heads off to the Barracks to find Barclay.

Rajni arrives at the barracks to see Barclay sparring with Drago.

Rajni moves forward enough for Barclay to see her, before finding a place to sit down andc waitg for him to be done.

Rajni just chuckles and shakes her head a little as she watches Drago and Barclay spar. It looked like Drago might be going somewhere? Hopefully he really did learn something from Barclay that could help him. Like herself, the Damphir was still pretty young, but he had a good level headed and kind woman to help keep his feet on the ground and maybe going out on a mission would help him regain some of his focus. She was a Ranger after all, it was her job to be observant and stuff...even when people thought they weren't being observed.

Seeing them begin to part ways she stands and brushes herself off. She rubs her arms a little as she takes a few steps closer and waits for Barclay to approach her.

Barclay walks up to Rajni. "You needed to see me?"

She nods as she holds out the note to him, "Yes Sir. Toni asked me to give you this. She would have come to see you herself, but I think she's a little worn out and not feeling very well at the moment...so I told her I would bring it."

Barclay takes the note. "Thank you. Let her know that I hope she feels better soon."

She nods and gives him a smile, "Would you like me to wait and let you read it in case there's a return message you want me to give to her?"

Barclay shakes his head. "No, it's fine. If I need to respond to the note, I'll stop by later, if that isn't a problem."

She shakes her head, "Not at all. You have a good day Mr. Barclay Sir." Rajni then turns and heads back to the house with Shamara.

Getting back to the house she stomps her feet outside before stepping inside and taking her boots off. Removing her cloak, she hangs it by the door before going to see if Toni was still on the couch.

Toni is asleep on the couch when Rajni returns, the cup sitting on the floor.

Seeing Toni asleep, Rajni decides not to wake her. Everything she had to deal with had obviously worn her out and she needed her rest so she wouldn't get sick.

Rajni goes quietly over to the couch and picking up the cup, takes it back to the kitchen to wash it out.

Barclay said if he needed to talk to Toni, he would stop by later. After washing out the cup she puts on some water to make herself a cup of tea to warm up with.

As she waits for the water to heat up, she wonders how her sister and Kama were doing.

Wheel of Maternity: 1d8 ⇒ 8; Woo! Free day!

Elena walks into the kitchen with Kama. "Good afternoon, Rajni."

Rajni looks up from making her tea and smiles at her sisters, "Hey there, how you feeling? Can I get you anything?"

"After all that sleep, I feel great!" Elena exclaims. "I am a little hungry though, but I can wait for Mother or Auntie Priya. I don't want you to feel like you have to take care of me."
