"I will have potatoes and eggs please." Hitome adds.
Nyder nods. "I'll be right back."
Jin sips on her hot chocolate and closes her eyes, "Mmmmmm....sooo good."
Nyder returns with Jin, Laenid and Hitome's food before heading off to tend to other customers.
Jin eyes the food hungrily, "Oh doesn't it just smell divine?" She says while pouring a good amount of syrup onto her hotcakes and digging into the delicious meal with gusto, while somehow still appearing feminine and dainty.
After almost two more hours of wrapping and writing out cards for the packages, the work area she uses is completely spotless and everything is stacked in neat piles according to what side of town they need to be delivered to, and a separate pile for the ones that will be picked up at the store.
Feeling satisfied with her work, she goes out to the main part of the store to find Halfpocket. "Is there anything else I can help you with here today?"
Halfpocket shakes his head. "No, it's been pretty slow today. If you want to head off, you can."
Giving him a smile she says, "Okay, thanks. Have a good rest of your day." Rajni then heads back home.
"It definitely does." Hitome says, tucking into her food.
Gashka looks over at Anyka who had been more quiet than usual. Swallowing her food she gives her a slight smile, "So, what do you think? I mean...how's your breakfast?"
Laenid smiles at Jin and Hitome. "Did you rest well, Hitome?"
Rajni finds the tailor's shop to be busy as several new arrivals are shopping for clothes.
Wading through the people she tries to find her mama.
Jin eats some more food and looks up at Hitome with a smile.
Rajni finds Asha setting out more breeches on the now-empty rack.
Going up to her mama she puts an arm around her, "So...it never seems to end does it? I'm done at Hadrinn's for today, is there anything I can do to help you and auntie here?"
Asha nods. "If you'll get the clothes out of the backroom and start filling the empty racks. Just keep the women's clothing separate from the men's. The boxes are labeled, Rajni."
She nods and goes to the backroom to get the clothes as her mama asked her to do. She starts with the boxes of women's clothing and refills those racks first. She works quickly and quietly. After about thirty to forty five minutes and satisfied that they looked neat and organized by style and color on the racks, she goes into the back to retrieve the men's clothing. After about another forty-five minutes the clothes are all hung on the racks in a neat organized fashion.
"Yes I did actually. It was very restful. The beds are very comfortable." Hitome replies as she eats. "How about you?"

Laenid nods. "It was the best sleep I've had in a long time."
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Jin blushes, "Me too, and it was the first time I've slept without Gyo being in the room with me."
Hitome smiles. "Good, you both needed it."
"Thank you for your help, Rajni," Asha says as the customers begin clearing out.
"What's our plan for today?" Laenid asks as she finishes her food.
Finishing her delicious meal as well she wipes her face with a napkin and shrugs as she looks up from Hitome to Laenid, "Well....Ms. Toni said that we had to wait for Auric's midwife before we could really do too much else, sooooo.....I guess we have a free day? Was there anything we needed to do, or anything we needed to get for the house still? It's a little cold outside to just wander around town, and I wouldn't want anyone getting sick." Thinking for a moment she asks, "Is there anything either of you would like to do today?"
"I haven't really put that much thought into what else there is to do before out next summoner mission." Hitome states.
"Me neither, so what should we do?" She asks, wondering what they could do in this town.
She gives her mama a hug, "You're welcome, I'm glad I could help. Is there anything else you need right now, or anything I can get you? Would you like a cup of tea or anything?"
Asha shakes her head. "I'll be making lunch soon, so I'll be alright until then."
She nods, "Okay, so is Juhi at home? I was just thinking that maybe we could get in a few minutes practice and then when you have some time mama there's something I'd like to ask you about."
Laenid shrugs. "I don't really know, unless we want to visit Toni or the others."
"She should be upstairs with Shamara," Asha answers.
She nods and goes up to the room that she shares with her little sister. Going in the room she smiles at the pair, "So, feel like getting a little practice in before lunch?"
She looks thoughtful for a moment, "I guess we could check on Toni...or see how that new summoner is getting on at Gyrthr Svanna's. Weren't we supposed to get him outfitted today or something?"
"I think so. It depends on how he's feeling," Laenid says. "Maybe we should let Auric rest up though...he had been through a lot and I'm sure Svanna and Gyrthr can take care of him. We should probably see what Toni and Malyoxa are up to. She talked to those men who came looking for her the other night. Maybe she found out something."
"Is it cold outside?" Juhi asks.
Going into the room she sits beside her sister, "It's pretty cold, so if you don't want to go outside it's okay. We can do it some other time."
Jin nods, "You're probably right, okay...let's go talk to Toni and Malyoxa then." She says, putting some gold on the table after finishing her hot chocolate and standing up.
Juhi shrugs. "I can bundle up. I'm a little tired of being in the house."
Rajni gives her a smile as she gets up and starts putting on some warm layers of clothing, "Okay, just make sure you're warm enough." She says while grabbing her heavier cloak as well as the crossbow.
"Okay," Juhi says as she finishes getting ready.
Laenid stands up and takes Jin's arm.
Once she's properly attired and has everything they need, she calls Shamara and heads downstairs to put her boots on.
Juhi follows after Rajni. "It's a lot quieter here now. Except for the paladins..."
Jin smiles as Laenid takes her arm. Stretching up on her toes, she gives her cheek a kiss while her own cheeks turn a light pink color. She sighs happily as they wait for Hitome so they can go see Toni and her midwife.
She felt bad that Juhi was so bored and hoped that mama would be okay with Juhi going on the camping trip with them, "I guess it gets pretty boring huh? Hopefully they'll get the school started up soon and then you can meet other kids your own age."
"I guess," Juhi says, a pensive look on her face. "I've never been to a school."
Seeing the expression on her sister's face she leans down and gives her a hug, "Try not to worry about it too much, but I think you'll like it. You'll learns lots of things, and meet new friends. Anyways, that's a ways off yet...so, ready to go now?" She asks before letting her go and pulling on her boots.
"Did you ever go to a school?" Juhi asks.
She swallows while trying to think of how to answer the question, "I was never given the choice or opportunity to go to school. I wasn't allowed to leave the tower, and when I became old enough...my father made me join the ranger guild so I could become a more skilled hunter. He had his own ideas of what was important and an education wasn't on his list of priorities. I really wish I had been allowed to go to one though."
