Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Yes, I'm quite new here," Lori replied to Ayira, smiling in a friendly manner. She felt quite lost in here, and..well, was that someone else coming down the stairs?

"Um, hello," she answered Cordain, setting her bags down beside her on the floor. They weren't much, a large canvas bag and a slightly smaller one, with all her gardening tools hanging from loops on the smaller bag. "I'm supposed to find a lady named..um.."

Lori was so nervous, especially in front of two strangers she didn't know. She dug a piece of paper from her pocket, eyeing the scribbles she'd written there earlier today. "Chiaku, that's it. I'm supposed to work at the teahouse, or something? I thought the inn would be the best place to start."

Realizing she was probably rambling, she turned and kicked at her gardening tools a bit. "I'm the new gardener." After she said that, Lori wondered if there had been an old gardener. Would people hate her because she wasn't as good as the last one?

"Sounds lovely to me, I haven't eaten all day." Lori sat at the bar, kicking her bags under her seat. At hearing someone outside, she glanced over her shoulder, smiling at the new man.

"Hello sir, for a room, you might want to ask the innkeeper," she inclined her head towards Cordain. "I'm Lori Silentsong, the gardener in town." That sounded so odd to say. She actually had a place.

Ayira yet again shook her head at all the activity around her, but jumped at the chance to go amd talk with the Inn Keeper. Se bowed to the two in the room with her and smile, "Please excuse me." she said softly before turning and walking towards the kitchen.

She opened the door quitly and walked in, "I dont mean to be a pain but earlier you said you might be interested in having your son join the Dojo." she said standing by the door of the kitchen and looking at the man infront of her. "If it isnt too much to ask may I meet your son, I would like to see if he would have any great need or want of joining before I get to excited about teaching again." she said sweetly, meaning no problems just interested in meeting the youth of this village, and getting back to her passion, fighting.

Cordain looked over at Ayira as she entered and smiled at her, "No pain at all..." he then listened to the rest of what Ayira said. He nodded his head slightly, "You can meet him tomorrow after school, he's sleeping right now but I believe having him in the dojo would probably help him. He's...Wild and angry..."

He turned his attention back to the stew, "But fair warning, his mother was the previous martial arts instructor." he nodded his head slightly and smiled again faintly.

Rae watched Lori's reaction and sighed, "I mix stuff and make potions." he said in even more plain terms. He then nodded his head a couple times and flashed a bright, happy smile at Lori, as he did this, two of the blue tattooed tendrils upon his face seem to meld, but that's just a trick of the eye.

"I'd be happy to go wild herb hunting with you lady Lori, I have need for them as well so I can use them for potions, tinctures and salves." he said to her, tilting his head to the side afterwards, his raven hair falling into his violet eyes, "That sound alright with you lady Lori?"

"Oh!" Lori exclaimed, finally getting it. She was a little slow on the uptake sometimes. "I'd love company to go hunting with. normally everyone thinks it's boring to collect flowers and herbs."

She took a sip of her water, glancing up at Rae. "So what brings you here?"

Lori nodded, thinking that it sounded very important, whatever he was here for. Her reasons weren't nearly as important sounding. "Fae? Sounds interesting." She'd heard something about Fae children in this town, but her main priority was gardening here.

"Why did I come here? It sounded like a nice town, I guess. And from all the weeds around here, it looks like I'm needed." Lori laughed, wrapping her hand around her water glass and taking another sip. "Plus, I like traveling."

"GAH!" Paine yelled as she saw Kizzy put a bunch of knives on the table. "THOSE AREN'T SPATULAS!" she said. She put the knives on the side, and tried to explain to Kizzy what a spatula looked like. "Well, a spatula is, flat...and shaped like a square...a flat square! You use it to flip pancakes and other stuff...now hurry and find one, unless if you want this pancake to burn.." she glanced over at the pan, the batter seemed fine for now.....but how long will Kizzy take to find a spatula? She was the only one who knew this place...
