"Uh-uh. Not really. Prolly not much farther than your place." Lee beckoned the other as she switched routes, heading for the cottages instead of the vardos. "My... um... my servant lives with us. I dun think he'll bother us much, though. And Rory's not home yet, either. He always works late." Lee smiled, though was clearly a bit upset with that fact. Then again, it wasn't as if she didn't just go watch him work whenever she was feeling lonely.

"Alrigh'," Aisling said again, then fell silent at it took most of her concentration and breath just to walk the distance across the camp to the cottages. She didn't even think much on the presence of this servant Lee mentioned, figuring it would make more sense later on - or at least, she could question the other girl about it at length.

Lee opened the cottage door for the girl, letting her walk in first. "It doesn't look nice yet," she admitted, looking a little embarrassed at how under decorated their home was. At least Lauss kept it clean.
The essentic -- or servant, as Lee was trying to convince everyone -- bounded out of his room and over to Lee, not having noticed a new girl was standing next to her. "Miss Lee! The children at the daycare taught me how to play a game called 'leap frog'. It's rather exciting! You kneel down and--" He glanced over to the other, pausing his story to greet Aisling. "Hello, miss. I am Lauss." He bowed, smiling politely to her.

Aisling shrugged. Looks be'er than m' place. I cannae take care o' it li' I shoul'," she said, blinking as the strange-looking person came up to her and bowed. "Ah.................. hello?"

Lee scratched her arm nervously, introducing the girl to her essentic. "This is Aisling. Leave her alone, eh?"
"Hello, Miss Aisling." Lauss looked down at the girl's stick, blinking and wondering if she, too, had difficulties moving. Well, his injury was only his with his wrist, but it was still rather painful. He had no idea how much worse it could be if it was all over his body. "Is that a cane?"

"Errrr............... o' a sort, y' could say. . .. why d' y' ask?" Aisling asked, looking away and shifting uncomfortably, all too keenly aware of the way this oddball was looking at her - at least he wasn't looking at her with malice, but still. And leapfrog? Was the boy touched in the head? If so, she'd try to be nice to him, it wasn't like he could help his problem.

Lauss lifted his wrist, showing off his brace. "I have difficulties, as well. I've learned to adapt, though." He smiled, as if they could now be buddies because they had something in common. He sighed a bit, wishing he could show Rhian the new game he'd learned. If anyone understood and loved games, it was Rhian. "I'm going to go study a bit more, Miss Lee..." he said, clearly upset as he walked back to his room.
Lee just shrugged, beckoning Aisling into her bedroom and to the master bathroom to rummage through her makeup.

Aisling nodded at the servant - Lauss, wasn't it? - and followed Lee to her bedroom, hoping she'd get to sit down soon; her legs really ached! "Why's he sae sad?" She asked Lee, feelign a bit of pity for the poor lad, he seemed so depressed. "Did somethin' happen tae him?"

Lee shrugged, gesturing to Aisling to sit on the bed, if she wanted. "He's just sad that he can't see his girlfriend. He told me her parents won't let him see her after he tried to get naked with her." She laughed a little, even if it was a terrible thing for such a young creature to do. She knew as well as anyone, though, that he had no mischief on his mind at the time. Lauss with a sexual appetite was just funny. "I think you'd look good with some of this on..." She came out of the bathroom, a soft, dark green eyeshadow in her hands. "Eh, actually, I should work on your hair first, hm?" She shook her head at what a mess the girls tresses currently were.

"Ge' .......... naked wi' 'er?" And this was something amusing? Aisling shrugged and decided she was even going to ask. Making herself as comfortable as she could on the bed, she moved her hair aside so that she wasn't sitting on it and watched Lee bustle around. Er, I guess......... I know 's a mess, an' all."

It was a mess that Lee would try her hardest to fix. Frowning, Lee beckoned the girl back to the kitchen, feeling a bit bad to have her walking again. Still, hair wasn't easy to clean up from where they were now. She grabbed a comb and headed off back to the front, setting out a chair for Aisling. "I won't chop it all off or anything. Just make it neater," she reassured the other girl, snipping the scissors in the air just to get a good feel for them. If there was one thing she was good at, it was making someone pretty.

Aisling wasn't exactly happy with getting to her feet again, but shje obediently moved to the kitchen after the other girl, though she watched the scissors warily. "If'n y' say so. . ."

Lee grinned, pulling out the comb and moving it though Aisling's hair as best she could without hurting the other. "Do you ever brush your hair?" She sighed, deciding to work her way from the ends up. "Okay, so, like... you dun really get out much, right? That'd get lonely, wouldn't it? I say we find you a new boyfriend, only one who isn't such a jerk." Lee frowned, her brow furrowing, though mostly with concentration on getting out a particularly stubborn knot.

"Nae boyfriends," Aisling said, shaking her head. "I donnae wan' any more tae do wi' romance o' any sort." It was a good thing she wasn't tenderheaded, or all of this brushing would probably hurt. A lot.

Lee frowned again, only this time at Aisling's words. She supposed this wasn't one of those things that she could really force on someone, and decided she'd just have to take the girl out more. Whenever that was a possibility, however, with Aisling being in the condition she was. "So, like... what do you do all day, anyway? Are you a study freak, like Lauss? I mean, there isn't much to do when you're stuck in a vardo all day." Lee poked her tongue out, even though Aisling clearly couldn't see her.
Pulling out the last of her knots, Lee shrunk a bit at the sight of more than a few strands of hair having been yanked out in the process. Sorry about that, Aisling. She replaced the comb in her hand with scissors now, grinning a bit as she knelt to reach the bottom of the girl's hair, taking the first chop of dead-ends off. Snip, snip, snip, and the bottom looked clean and smooth, if a few inches shorter than it had been before (not that it was a noticeable difference, as long as Aisling's hair was). That wasn't to say it looked nice yet. There was still so much to do...
