Welcome to Gaia! ::

As Maryl neared in, Seth leaned back a bit. It seemed a bit creepy, and it would have been pretty rude if Seth felt another cough or sneeze coming. Since one didn't come Seth turned a bit and waved her hand, attempting to be nice about it. "I'll be fine, don't worry over me so much. I'll just send dad to get some when he gets back." Giving the pancakes a light drizzle of syrup then picking up the fork, Seth cut into and took a few tentative bites of the stack of pancakes. After swallowing, She took a quick gulp of juice before speaking. "I don't want to drag down on you just because I'm under the weather, that's all." She shook her head and muttered, "Though I'd rather not spread this to you either, and I'd been coughing a lot this morning."

Seth remained fairly silent at first, deciding to continue eating. She had never been to an orphanage after all and had never even met a nun before, and Kel didn't seem like the type to fawn or brood over anything. Looking a bit off to the side Seth attempted to apologize. "I get that you want to help me get better, but I'm going to feel pretty bad if you get sick around me too, so..." She was cut off by Maryl hugging her a bit too tight. Being gripped didn't cause Seth to jostle her plate significantly but she did need to adjust. "Thanks..." She said quietly, managing to reach her hands up in an awkward way to return the hug.

Kel yanked the front door open and slung his satchel and coat onto the coat tree. He removed his travel shoes, leaving them at the landing, and took the small bottle he recently purchased from the now suspended coat pocket. At first glance the house was quiet. The living room was a notorious liar on that note, nobody stays in there. He quietly headed on up the stairs to the second floor hall.

Since Seth was already blushing from the fever, her complexion didn't change. She went ahead and finished up her breakfast a bit curious as to why Maryl was peeking out of the room like that. After moving the tray and dirty dishes to the nightstand next to her, Seth stretched a bit and yawned.

Kel reached the top of the stairs, noticing Maryl's face sticking out of the doorway to Seth's room. "Ah, Good morning, Maryl." He called out as he approached the door and waited for a moment. "Can I go through?"

"Way ahead of you, Maryl" Kel sighed. With medicine in hand, he approached the bedside and held the bottle to Seth's nose. "Drink this."

Seth sat still and glanced up at Kel, not moving her head. The contents of that bottle didn't smell very pleasant. "What's this?" She frowned before snatching and taking a quick gulp of the bottle then handing it back.

"It's medicine. Get some rest for now." Kel helped Seth lay back down and rolled the blankets up to her chin before patting her forehead once. Collecting the breakfast in bed tray and placing the empty bottle on it, Kel made his way toward the bedroom door to see himself out. He glanced back once to Maryl and tilted his head. "Come on, Maryl. Let her rest for now." With that Kel started on his way down the hall toward the stairs.

Kel had returned downstairs and taken the orders from his satchel. He sat at the coffee table looking them over with a small note pad to go over them. The design requests were fairly simple. Whether it was a sign of change toward efficiency or just people wanting to shorten time to completion was a small question. Even if they were shooting for efficiency they didn't have cost effectiveness in mind. Those who did usually came directly to the shop with the required materials ready to go. Looking up from his work, kel heard footsteps getting closer from upstairs. He looked over to the base of the stairs since from his angle in the living room the top of the stairwell was obstructed.

"Ah, where are you working?" Kel asked. This was actually the first he had heard of it other than Maryl seeking a job some days ago. He went back to looking over his papers to multitask since he could listen and read fairly effectively. He was composing a supply list to know exactly what he needed in order to get started.

Kel immediately recognized that robe. His eyes drifted away a bit as he thought of something connected to that symbol on the back. "It looks good on you", he nodded. "Good luck on your first day, though you should see if they can transfer you to that new library that went up in the castle. I hear it has double the resources, and it is much closer to home." he shrugged. Returning to looking down at the lists, Kel was nearly done. It looked like mundane materials this time. They were fairly easy to come by so finding them wouldn't be difficult. He likely still had some left over in storage.
