and the silence from her own part is just what the maid wished, so it was a rather comfortable chat so far. “ Oh? From such cold weather? I wouldn't have guessed! Although if as you say, you find yourself a versed traveller … I doubt seeking for sun-bathing traditions would make any difference, ”
Ninian@draconicdancer.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe maid also had Ninian rather interested. Who was she, that she could float at a whim? Clearly not a morph, she had far too much autonomy for that. She's letting the odd housemaid guide her, her gentle grip never leaving her hand. "Ah...I hail from Ilia, a land blanketed in snow year
“ I am deeply grateful, milady. Let's be quick ~ so to not attract the answers we are not seeking. Or seductive individuals … as you might call them. ” she's only teasing! Guiding her by the hand, she's discreetly taking mental noted about such hand. A girl trapped in time, one that could be -
Ninian@draconicdancer.bsky.social · 2mo agoShe hesitantly allows the newcomer to take her hand. It didn't seem like she was a danger, and seemed genuinely interested in the topic at hand? "Sure," she responds, dainty hand resting in the housemaid's own. It couldn't hurt to indulge her, right?
siiiiiigh. it's best get the bloody sheets washed right away — she wouldn't want to set off those two demons. ah ~ if only she could manage to do it in her lab and just … dry neatly all the blood so to have lasting resources. such wasteful creatures. one's to use the lake!
“ Then, there is our sign! I would have my own benefit finding out about today's traditions. ” she basically jumped —not abruptly, almost as if she flew— next to the dragon, seeking for her hand. “ Let us ask those around us, the both of us. If I may? ”
Ninian@draconicdancer.bsky.social · 2mo ago"I'm admittedly curious about the traditions?" Perhaps not those traditions though. The festivals that the people of Elibe had were neat to partake in though. "Ah...but perhaps less odd trends are more interesting?"
“ Ah, so you care for the audience! ~ Mhm, I see. ” with a slight pause, she ends up giggling. “ If that's so, I'll aim for a night were my dearest siblings are … less energetic. You never know with kids. They just dream to participate sometimes. ”

She smiles. and smiles. aaand smiles, emptily. “ Seductive … thigh what. ” Oh, well. “ … People are just, so, so creative nowadays! … I wouldn't be as curious guided by certain names, though. Unless you are? ”
Ninian@draconicdancer.bsky.social · 2mo ago"These traditions, these 'seductive sunday' traditions, the 'thigh thursday' or 'wagon wednesday'. I'm afraid your assessment is a bit too correct."
“ The Entertainer, sir. The pleasure is entirely mine. I'll make sure to remember who is in charge in such wonderful place then! ” aside any peek she could have, then the maid retains her stare to the person before her. She can check everything out later. “ I'll bring my siblings the news … ”

I am the ringmaster of this ——
“ It would be my honour. ” she gives a happy curtsey, grabbing the sides of the maid attire to raise it enough. “ I am called Lith. I work as a housemaid in a manor that faces the forest, in a way, I stroll on the daily so to get milord's needs! He is not one to go out much. ”

“ Oh, but that wouldn't do. I would be taking it from you … such an original resource usage, too. ” she didn't really touch, she didn't quite lean in. The maid just slightly neared her face to the umbrella's petiole with a soft smile. And a quick gleam from the eyes.

@laughingspecter.bsky.social There is no living interest in a machine, but there /is/ a scent nearby that urges her to try. Hop! Swiftly, she nears it from a tree, trying to use her nails to scratch it enough as to climb it, barely.
… staying. Okie. And… scribble, scribble, scribble. Fascinated by mundane things. Noted! “ Do forgive my manners. I just remembered my lady's list to do's, is all. ” As she puts away the tiny notebook, she beams a smile towards her. “ What are you doing, if I may? ”

“I would know! I hardly —” if not, ever “—face the sunlight in these trying times, but, but…! It would be a shame to have the ornamental sentiment of wearing mostly black … wash out in a blue sky light. I much rather take a peek in the night. May I know this bold performer's name? ”

( @crtvampire.bsky.social ) Now, isn't this quite the occasion! Quiet steps lead their way towards the rogue while she's humming merrily. “My! Good night to you, sir. Is it common for you to stray alone this deep in the night? ”
“ How large, if I may? ” She looks entertained, humming quietly even if the sky roars. “ Take your time. ~ ” It's only curiosity. Most of it.

“ I must be out of touch for it to be rare! Grey days tend to follow the routine ahead. Individuals such as yourself are much more catching to the eye… I have younger siblings, you see. My job barely allows me to seek entertainment for them in the daytime. If you'd be so kind, could I know more? ”

“ Hm… you've spoken like someone unaccustomed with the latest traditions. If I may, I know a thing or two about that — what, may I know, you're referring to, my lady? ”
Ninian@draconicdancer.bsky.social · 2mo ago"These weekly traditions are strange. I'm not that kind of dancer..."
( @entertainedmask.bsky.social ) “ Wonderful. No mummer is ever followed by quiet…! Surely whatever performance that arrives these times leaves everyone in awe. If I'd be so bold to ask … is the performance at night? ”
