LUVENA
The girls had grown far larger than she’d expected. Both coming up to just below her stomach. Though they knew a few commands, and stuck close to her most of the time, they were still an unruly pair. “You could keep it” she teased. “Give it an hour, and you’ll likely have enough for a nice rug. If they had their way my clinic would be fully carpeted” she nibbled at the sandwich somewhat uninterestedly.
“Certainly” she replied. “And more time to come visit a particular tea shop I know…” she trailed off as Caelum continued, and avoided looking up at her. “Oh I’m alright. You know how it is. It comes and goes.” Not a lie. She had been more tired lately, and sleeping more, but that was to be expected with age, Especially after the stunts she'd pulled the year prior. Caelum didn't know about her trip up the veneror, or to the portals. She feared the little mare might slaughter her if she got word of it. she finally looked up and kept herself from sighing at the look on caelums face. “I’m fine” she repeated. “Just a headache. It will pass” she nibbled at the sandwich again, trying to reassure her friend.
“Not for long if I have any say in it” she retorted. “I have a very powerful girlfriend, and I will have a line of suitors for you at the next event.” there was a mischievous smile carved across her face, though it fell slightly at the fae womans words. “I know I just… It’s not exactly the most comfortable position to be in, and I know she’ll worry.”
“Well, I am always around to make it just a little less lonely” she replied, trying to push the sadness out of Caelums voice. “That reminds me. I do have a small gift for you” She slipped the regular satchel off her neck, pulling out the pea-flowers. “If you brew them into a tea, the color will change depending on how acidic you make the drink. It’s wonderful with a little lemon. It’s also good for treating a cough or cold.” She nosed the bag towards caelum, before taking a few more sips of the tea before her, now that it had cooled a bit, and resting her head gently on the table.

"speech"
usually it starts
with a nightmare,
some sordid dream
that creeps in on a
saccharine song,
souring as it hits its peak.
