116. Made [action/written]

[corrinesbell]

I'm going to the store today. Is there anything I should bring anyone?

[It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood cold day in Luceti.

Sheena got up this morning - no longer small, or even remembering that she had been small - and did all of her usual tasks in the house. And now she's out and about, ready to do all the other houses she usually does.

So if you live (permanently or temporarily) in houses 6, 8, 12, 19, 23, 42, 44, 49, or 56, Sheena is coming to clean as she does every other day, and has done since offering her services to each of you. Others may find her at the grocery store, or on the street, carrying a bucket of supplies and a broom but wearing no coat]

[[ooc: The AU that didn't live during the event itself - Sheena has been Zelos' personal maid at home for many years. She believes he gave her permission to work for other people here too as long as she was home on time to make dinner; she's not much of her usual self in terms of outward personality either, being all subservient and polite to most people now.

And she's always in that maid outfit.]]

[... wow, her Luceti is so weird. Man.]

And he just... let me borrow you whenever I wanted.

[corrinesbell]

...No sir. He allows me to clean other homes, as his is considerably smaller here than it is in Meltokio.

[markofthewise]

... allows? You like cleaning then?

[corrinesbell]

It's my job, Mister Sokka.

[markofthewise]

That isn't what I asked.

[corrinesbell]

[but that's the only answer she knows. And it's better than being in Zelos' house all day long.

It's a risk, but she just silently serves him the tea.]

[markofthewise]

[Yeah, he thought so. He takes the tea and cradles it as it cools.]

Thanks.

[corrinesbell]

You're welcome.

[and now, she will start with cleaning the kitchen]

[markofthewise]

Wait, wait. Aren't you going to have some? [He had only asked for tea under the pretense she would drink too!]

[corrinesbell]

I shouldn't. I have a lot of work to do.

[markofthewise]

No no, come on. A little break isn't going to hurt anything, right?

[corrinesbell]

I'm sorry, Mister Sokka, but after this house I have several more to do.

[markofthewise]

Okay... so have some tea, then you can go to the next house. I can handle the cleaning up just fine. [Or rather, Katara can, but it's been getting done without Sheena for awhile now.]

[corrinesbell]

If those are your orders, sir.

[she will have just a little bit of tea, then.]

[markofthewise]

Yeah. Go ahead. Sit down, take a load off. Get warm. [There will be no complimentary shower and nap this time around.]

[corrinesbell]

I'm sorry. I can't do that, sir.

[markofthewise]

Look, if you don't tell, I won't tell. No one has to know that you aren't killing yourself walking house to house without warming up.

[corrinesbell]

It wouldn't be right, Mister Sokka.

[markofthewise]

[Sigh. Maybe he should just give in, because this is is going nowhere.]

Alright, alright. Do what you have to do.

[corrinesbell]

Of course, sir.

[and back to cleaning the kitchen.]

[markofthewise]

[... just drinking his tea. Quietly and awkwardly. How much is Sheena going to hate him for this later?]
