Caelum
comes from a long line of blue collars and lace
with a grip like reins to a steed and kisses for days
Caelum was a bustle of activity as she prepped her shop for the day.
Hot water for tea was heating up, (with a few pots of various coffee types in the furthest back wall), and she was humming as she pulled pastries out of a small oven heated with a tiny fire. Her ears perked, muzzle twitching as she mixed up a fresh batch of honey, bread and some fruit - this being set up artistically on a platter that was moved out to the main sitting area for her guest coming soon. Setting up a pot of tea, carefully steeped with her favorite mix of chamomile, lavender, rose and a touch of mint, she added a small dish of sugar and milk.
She continued setting things up.
The general items of the day - restocking shelves with herbal remedies and other medicinal tonics. Small pots of honey and herbs, hardened into a candy to make it easier to take medicine were on display near a till. In the display box, more pastries and baked items were on display, all made fresh for when customers may arrive. Anything more specialized, like actual sandwiches, or treats would be made on demand, but the items that kept well for the whole day where made ahead of time to keep her less busy - just like her medicinal items where made every few days in the evening.
Once her store was ready to open, did she pay attention to her lights.
The little will o' wisps hovered, lights blinking, in small glass spheres, providing light and a sense of home to the maiden. She telepathically lowered some honey and bread into each light, smiling as the little fae folk descended on the treats. Only then did she begin opening windows, opening main doors to the outside seating area, feeling the breeze carry across the lake, and causing the fabrics draping the ceiling and walls to sway softly. A knock on her front door had her turning curiously.
She approached it, swinging it open.
At the same time she went ahead and flipped the sign to open, as she smiled at her best friend, eyes sparkling at the other mare, "Lu, come in, come in! I have a tea set out already, feel free to find something to nibble on!" She instructed, landing briefly on the ground, and trying to ignore the flowers that immediately sprung up when she did so. She trampled them briefly, telepathically pulling them out off her floor like weeds, before taking to the air, making a face at the magic she still couldn't get the hang of.
She fluttered back behind the counter.
Returning with some bowls of water for the dogs, she headed to the table she'd already prepared with a breakfast, carefully keeping some of her dishes on her side to keep Luvena from accidentally eating any of the fruit from her own world, "The tea is safe to drink, but be careful of the small red bowl. You don't want to ingest any of that, least you no longer eat anything but the fruit of the fae." She cautioned with a smile, before her eyes sparkled at her best friend, "Now then . . . tell me everything! What's new? How's the shop?" Her gaze turned playful, her gaze almost wicked.
"How is our dear sovereign?"
"Speech"
