Welcome to Gaia! ::

Zybilna was basically home by herself today. Her father was out with the beasts, doing who-knows-what. Her mother, was busy tending to her own needs with two new infants on the way. Her brother, on the rare occasion was actually doing something on his own. The young Prentice struggled with the silence around her, she didn't like it. No, not even a little. To make matters more interesting, her mother had insisted that someone help school her in matters and etiquette.

She watched the door with a long drawn out pout. She did not want to partake in any lessons that her brother didn't also have to be involved in. And she was loath to admit she would much rather be doing whatever it was her brother was getting to do.

Breathing deeply, Zybilna noticed the woman approaching the front doorway to her home. Chewing on her bottom lip as she hesitated, Zyblina knew she would only be in serious trouble if she left he lady waiting at the door. Pulling the door open to the unexpected guest, Zybilna gave her best 'hello' that she could muster.

Zybilna stood in the door way taking her time in gathering her energy to respond. Knowing her luck, the lesson had already begun and she was already on the downward spiral. "Pleasure to meet you Nasuri. I'm Zybilna." She replied as sweetly as she could.

The young woman glanced down towards the extended hand. Daintily offering her own out to Nasuri. Placing her hand within the womans grasp, Zybilna performed her soft bowing like curtsy. "We shall." She responded in kind. "Would you care for me to lead you towards the living space so we may be comfortable?"

Resisting the urge to rub her head, Zybilna extended her hand palm open and fingers out moving her hand in a fluid motion to indicate the direction they were to be heading. "You'll find the area far more comfortable with the cushions than you would with the hard wooden chairs of the kitchen." Straitening up she raised her golden eyes to meet Nasuri's. Then lowering it in a downward nod. "I'll prepare some tea while you settle in the room."

Nodding Zybilna agreed with Nasuri. "Yes, Mamma does well to keep the home looking like this, and this room in particular is Mamma's study room. She thinks having places that are soft, more beneficial to ones learning and study."

Having said that the oldest daughter to Teiluj and Lynxdaroch removed herself from the room. She traveled drearily back down the hallway into the kitchen. Pulling out a pot to warm over the stove, pouring water into the larger vessel. Shifting back through the room, almost as if she were a shadow of her mother. Following her movements so often seen as she sat with her siblings in the kitchen. She was lucky to be taller like her father, so reaching the various herbs and flowers to put in a smaller vessel she then plunked into the nearly heated water.

Folding her arms reluctantly Zybilna glanced about the kitchen. Her mother had a set of scones in the corner, something she often served to her clients with a bit of the homemade jelly and cream. There had already been a portion set out for the day, and so the young woman went about gathering up the various ingredients and putting each part on a single tray. Tea, a touch of sweetner and milk. The scone's with some jam and cream.

She hadn't eaten much herself today, and if she was going to be busy serving her guest she should eat too. It would be rude if she sat there hungerly staring at her guest as she ate because she was too hungry.
