Aoife couldn’t help but grin. Lyric’s mannerisms and way, reminding her of an old friend back in Kirkwall. Introducing herself as Leaf allowed her true identity to remain undisclosed. People were far less forthcoming or the very opposite when they knew who exactly they were addressing.

I lack the patience when it comes to the fiddly stuff.”[/color] As they ventured down the hall, she’d nod along. [color=#0074d9]“Fork is a good one, but I’d forget and go straight to the real one before that. It’s been a very long time since my siblings were in diapers.” [/color]

It does,”[/color] grinning as they’d turn again, taking the three into a slightly busier corridor. At the end of this hallway was a set of open double doors to the kitchens. The noise of the servants and heat of the ovens rolled through towards them had Leaf pause. [color=#0074d9]“We’ll linger at the door. Flora doesn’t like us Upstairs folks messing around in her haven.” [/color]
