116. Made [action/written]

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.]]

Yes. Hopefully this will only last a day or two. [The week was almost over, after all.

He attempts to call upon Eferin's power again, hissing as he manages to splash the front of his coat with water -- somehow. What in the world. He stands, his expression annoyed as he heads towards the foyer closet.]
So much for shortcuts.

Hopefully. These Shifts are getting tiresome. [She has to raise an eyebrow at his efforts.] ... That's odd. I'll get you a towel.

["Before our maid notices."]

Thank you. [He looks as her as he passes by, then at the thought bubble above her before going to the closet. He emerges a moment later with a box of matches.]
wise_maiden: (on comes the panic light)

[She raises an eyebrow, then walks to the other closet to retrieve the towels, pulling out two of them before making her way back.]

Here you go. Do you think that the wood is salvageable?
chikaidestroyer: (Dead inside)

[action]

[personal profile] chikaidestroyer 2010-11-30 08:26 am (UTC)(link)
It should be salvageable, yes. The wood is already too dry to retain the water I accidentally ... conjured. [For lack of a better term. He crouches in front of the fireplace, lighting the match and setting it to a corner of a piece of bark.]

[She keeps her distance from him and the fire, at least until he's finished, in case something ends up exploding. With the way things have been already, anything was possible.]

That's good at least. I take it that hadn't happened before?

[Things fortunately go smoothly this time, and Albert closes the matchbox before he accidentally ruins them.]

No, it hasn't. It only occurred when I tried to make a fire with Eferin's magic. [He lifts his gloved hand and twitches his fingers experimentally, watching his palm fill with water ... and overflow before he brushes his wet hand against his coat.] I'll have to be careful with my hands again.
wise_maiden: (never taking the easy road)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2010-11-30 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Water instead of fire... I wonder if the conjuring could be connected to the use of magic in general. Though it's probably not worth it so much to try. [She steps closer and holds the towel out to him.] Here. I'll take the box.
chikaidestroyer: (Before I ignore you)

[personal profile] chikaidestroyer 2010-12-01 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Albert had taken the towel from Raine when he notices Sheena, and he nods in acknowledgment.] Thank you, Sheena.

[He takes a moment to pat dry the front of his coat, continuing to carry the towel as he heads for the kitchen.]

That was fast, Sheena. [But she'll give a small smile to her as she also follows in that direction.]
chikaidestroyer: (Ahem...)

[action]

[personal profile] chikaidestroyer 2010-12-01 02:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's quietly taking in the sight of the food laid out, nodding in approval.] Very good. I know you do not usually make food for us-- [actually, he didn't know, but he surmised she didn't because she said she was there for cleaning] --so this is appreciated, Sheena.
wise_maiden: (waiting to change)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2010-12-01 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed. We're sorry to have kept you waiting. Please have a seat as well.

Caesar? No, he won't be joining us; he went straight to sleep after we returned from the stores. [He gestures slightly in the direction of the bedrooms. Whether he's telling the truth is anyone's guess.]
wise_maiden: (you'll never reach the end of the road)

[action]

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2010-12-02 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
You know how he likes to sleep. He'll grab something later, when it suits him.
chikaidestroyer: (Standing back)

[Albert pulls out a seat for Raine and may attempt to do so for Sheena as well if she hasn't positioned herself directly in front of the chair. Once that is done, he takes a seat.]
wise_maiden: (you think you're in your darkest hour)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2010-12-02 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Raine nods at Albert in thanks before taking a seat, waiting for the others to seat themselves while debating the next thing to ask.] At the risk of this being a strange question, Sheena... how long, exactly, have you been in Zelos's service?

Around the same age as him, then? Not an uncommon practice. [It allowed the noble to become comfortable with ordering around people their own age. He begins eating with all of the proper signs of etiquette.]
wise_maiden: (build a casket for my tears)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2010-12-02 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Her thought bubble is just reflecting a younger Sheena now. The little girl she just spent a few days caring for. Because at that age...] You've been with him for quite a while, then.
chikaidestroyer: (Glance through a fringe)

[personal profile] chikaidestroyer 2010-12-02 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Albert eyes Raine's thought bubble and Sheena's own reaction to it silently. He wonders what other questions Raine is willing to breach.]
