Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lightning



Life could be rather shocking


Kaede whistled a tune, pocketing his hands into his pants. He was always up so cheerily in the early morning, seeing as how he was more of a morning person than a night person. Besides, with what blessed guests that’ll arrive today, he couldn’t sleep! He stopped at the market to buy himself something.

“How about no! Pears are double the price and I’m not lowering them, Guildie!” The plump woman put a hand on her hip, a sneer on her face. She was rather a stingy one alright.

However, her pears were always the sweetest. His bi-colored eyes glittered as he leaned close to her. Not too close to give a shock but one to show his charming face. “Come on, a Guild Master’s got to eat now~” He flashed some teeth.

Let’s just say Kaede visited this booth quite often and used excuses for not having enough money. The plump woman smacked him on the head. “No deal,” she boldly stated.

Kaede pouted, that pretty boy grin so warming, it should have melted the woman’s heart. With a last debate with herself, she gave in. Kaede gave her a small tip before taking a pear. He rubbed it on his sleeve before taking a bite, a lofty grin on his face. It wasn’t before long that he peeped into the infant section of the guild. Hmm…Libi wasn’t here. Probably the kitchen, if it was so early. Kaede made his way then, wondering where his Matron was. He soon found her in the kitchen, probably whipping up something delicious. “Good, I’m starving. That cheap woman down at the market only gave me one pear today,” he commented as he sat down in a stool, leaning his elbows onto the counter as he ogled her.

Libitina's eyes swiveled back and forth in the kitchen. She'd made sure the main cook had everything he needed and then left him to his work, glad that he had everything under control. Those Guildiers now in the kitchen were mainly those that could help him get breakfast out on the double, and that included her. Of course, once lightning arrived, the banter started.

"Maybe she's running out, you do go there almost every day." Her red eye turned toward him, and she flashed half an amused grin as she stirred something before it was to go on the fire. "Or maybe, just maybe, you could pay full price for once?"

Libitina passed off the bowl of batter to another woman and then turned full front on Lightning. Her hair had been tied up today so there was no chance of escaping whatever look was on her face, at least this morning it was a rather happy one. "Do I have to do everything around here, or are you going to help with breakfast? The cook can't do it all!"

All around the Guild people had begun to wake up. The guild itself was a rather large plot of land with several buildings, including a main hall, a dorm-style building, and a stable. There were usually more children than adults at the guild, mainly because most adults at the guild were only there temporarily, until they were needed elsewhere. Breakfast would begin shortly, and usually people were pretty good about not being late.

Libitina tsk'ed her tounge lightly against her cheek at Lightnings ploy to get out of cooking, but didn't exactly force a bowl into his hands. Detrimental cooking aside, that was probably for the best. Her eyes shifted to Lucas, though, at his question. "They should be here shortly, and we're to know our place as they know theirs. Here, they are equal to any other student, the queen would prefer it that way." The fact that Libi was in contact with the queen was not a secret, after all, the royals were good friends to the Guild Master and Matron, how else would they have attained such a position?

Had Libitina not been born graced, she would have been a Baroness. She had to say she preferred her life as it was now.

The kitchen slowly got busier and busier, the cook and his four assistants pulling things off the hearth and onto counters and spinning around the three that were not really in on their customs noisily. Libitina felt the noise was homey, and she smiled at the prospect of the coming breakfast. The dining hall, by now, would be filling with students and teachers and the like. She could hear it through the wall. It seemed the Prince and Princess would arrive in time for a meal, if their carriage was sure and steady. "I say we head for the hall..."

With a smile the Matron was bustling away, headed for the doorway out.

Well~ Fancy post will come later~ ||

Fai sat on her bed, looking out the window. She was curious as to what was going on, she had heard some talk, some rumors about new students. It was mainly some of the nosy students, the gossipers, but Fai watched intently none-the-less. It wasn't long until she saw the carriage, it was a royal carriage. She quickly opened a note-book and jotted a few things down, how she felt, curious, amazed, nervous. And things she noticed, royal, horses, morning. She leaned forward a bit as a figure got out, she had gorgeous, silver hair. Immediately, Fai touched he own hair. It was plain, and dark-colored. But it wasn't a time to be self-conscious. The girl seemed to gesture to someone who was in the carriage, but who else would be with her? Wait, they must be royal, correct? Perhaps she was one of the children of the king, she heard that he had two children... But why were they here? If only she could see their eyes from where she was...

Fai got up quickly, putting her note-book in a messenger bag and heading out, maybe she could wait by the door or something, she was already dressed for the day, so she could probably make it in time to greet them... So that's what she did, she made her way down the halls, not paying much attention to the beautiful walls around her. She made it to the door, but should she go out? No, she decided to stay where she was.

Yet... They would probably need some help getting around... Her decision swapped, she opened the doors and headed out, the morning air hit her skin and it felt welcoming, inviting, and she felt she made the right choice.
