The fire is warm, the light is low. There are plenty of comfortable places to sit.

There is also a stash of s'more ingredients and neatly cut roasting sticks near the fireplace. Just in case, you understand.

Settle in!

Ingress has on boots underneath her gown. Why would she fit her feet into silly slippers that make your feet cold when boots are ever so nice?

Even comfortable boots don't keep your feet from getting sore, however, so Ingress flops onto an armchair and eyes the roasting sticks.

S'mores??? She hasn't had a s'more since she was a little girl at a lake party!

A slow, thoroughly pleased smile spreads across Grace's face when she catches sight of a head of wonderful blue hair.

"I'll be back," she tells Alanna. Without waiting for permission -- which is completely against the rules her mom had insisted upon before they came, but Grace had crossed her toes when she swore, so that's okay -- she heads over to Ingress, doing a twirl on the way.

"Hullo."

Re: Living Room herald_to_be October 7 2011, 03:40:07 UTC

"Hello!" Ingress waves at the other girl with great enthusiasm. "I didn't know you would be here. Come have a s'more with me!"

Re: Living Room calls_him_sam October 7 2011, 03:52:13 UTC

There had been a bit of belligerence in Grace's eyes until Ingress waves. It vanishes with the reassurance that the other girl will welcome her company. Grace is glad she decided to like this one.

"Okay. Uncle Raph made those once. Jamie got melted chocolate everywhere." So embarrassing. "You look older."

It's clear this is a compliment.

Re: Living Room herald_to_be October 7 2011, 03:56:24 UTC

"I think I am. It's been a long time since I last saw you. I'm twelve now."

Re: Living Room calls_him_sam October 7 2011, 13:12:31 UTC

"I'm ten," Grace announces, not bothered by the age difference. "Almost eleven."

She tilts her head, considering.

"Are you in training?"

Re: Living Room herald_to_be October 8 2011, 02:12:11 UTC

Ingress nods.

"I wasn't going to stay in Haven until after my birthday this year. But then the Queen died, and it made no sense to go home one more year, so I've been in Haven at the Collegium since I was eleven."

Re: Living Room calls_him_sam October 8 2011, 12:20:48 UTC

"The Collegium?" Grace moves closer, curious; she is also trying to ignore her mother, who has angled her body this way like she's eavesdropping. "What is it like?"

Re: Living Room a_lioness October 8 2011, 12:23:42 UTC

Grace's mother is absolutely eavesdropping from her spot by (practically in) the fireplace. She leans sideways so she can see Ingress better and cracks one eye open, then the other, sending her young friend an affectionate wink.

Mithros, she's proud of the girl.

Re: Living Room herald_to_be October 8 2011, 15:28:49 UTC

Ingress notices Alanna and grins.

"It's brilliant. I have classes that are interesting and sometimes hard. I practice weaponry and riding every day. I still serve at court sometimes, and even having to do chores isn't so bad. Megwyn's happy to be home with the other Companions, and I've made some really good friends."

Re: Living Room calls_him_sam October 20 2011, 00:22:54 UTC

Grace does her best not to wrinkle her nose in a delicate, disturbed fashion. It is something she has seen the ladies at court do, and thus something she has been practicing.

"That sounds... strenuous." She flashes a bright smile, lest Ingress thinks she disapproves in any way other than being very glad her own days are in no way similar. "Are all your friends in training, too?"

Re: Living Room herald_to_be October 20 2011, 01:24:35 UTC

"Most of them. Oh, except for a few of the pages. They're pages, not Heralds in training."

Re: Living Room puckishly October 10 2011, 23:57:04 UTC

"Ah!" Puck says, and calls in some not-terribly-discernible direction, "Havelock, I have found her."

Re: Living Room oneman_onevote October 11 2011, 16:12:27 UTC

Havelock mysteriouses up behind him.

No, it's not a word, but it is the most accurate description.

Re: Living Room herald_to_be October 13 2011, 00:39:08 UTC

Havelock is endearing in his mysteriousness. Ingress is delighted to see him - both of them.

"Hullo," she calls out, waving at them. "Come have a s'more! Or three - they're quite small treats."
