The snows were clearing more every day, the world warming as if in defiance of all that currently ailed myrken, even Jinni's mood had turned happily expectant. It had been a week since the mesangers return and she was hoping today was the day. Standing in the middle of the main area, sh ran a critical eye over the shop, ticking things off her internal list as she went. Cobwebs had been chased from the ceilings corners, and shelf edges, fabric bolts had been tidied, floor had been swept and counter and table dusted, heavy drapes tied back. A pleased smile curved her lips, and she stepped through into the tiny hall and then into the storeroom. Here too everything had been cleaned and swept, shelves lined with plain calico to protect what she hoped would soon be resting upon them. Head tilted as she heard her gaurd moving around upstairs... just lately he'd started looking at her strangely and she wasnt sure she liked it.
Snorting she shook her head, Ugh, she was just being silly, he was simply being protective, doing just what she wa paying him for. That dealt with she emerged from the storeroom and entered the kitchen, she really should consider hiring someone to take care of cooking her meals, sooner or later she would be too busy to do such things for herself and it would be best to have someone settled and in place before the need came about. Kettle whistled just as she approached the stove. "perfect" she murmured and carefully poured the hot liquid, over the herbs in her cup, before setting the kettle aside. Tea in hand she stirred the contents making sure the honey melted as she re-entered the shop front.
Clipping hooves, and the steady rumble of turning wheels brought the heavily laden cart closer to Stitch n time, the two men seated upon its box searching for the sign. "there" one said and pointed. A light tap of the reins to horse neck had the cart crosing the street, only to be drawn up outside. Climbing down , the older of the two men spoke. "whip the covers off Sam, i'll go tell Lady Darden we've arrived." There was a quick smile from the younger one "As you wish Papa" and Sam was scrambling to do his fathers bidding, he was excited about this trip, it had been the first time his father had let him drive the team, without giving constant instruction. A nod of his head, and the older man was stepping through the door, gaze falling upon the lady he had come to see. She looks happy, the master will be pleased to knonw that the thought flowed through hi mind and he was clearing his throat.
At the sound jinni turned, and a bright smile lit up her features "Garrett" Oh she knew what his arrival meant, her steps were light as she moved towards him, hands rising to clasp his own, head turning to allow him to kiss her cheek.... Long moments they stood there Talking of home and those they both knew.
Pleasantries exchanged, the shop was soon a hive of activity as father, son, and bodygaurd worked to bring the delivery inside and stack it according to the lady's wishes. As for the lady herself she would be standing near the counter in the shop front drinking her tea and directing traffic, so to speak. Dove grey gown, though simple in design draping her figure in a flattering manner, White pocket apron, cinching it to her slender waist, its pockts where she kept scissors knotted thread and other tools of her trade. Matching white head scarf keeping her raven dark scarlet tinted curls from shadowing youthful features.
Words of wisdom for life
Sleep i forget what that is *laughs*
