Carlotta comes in through the door, and nearly collides with him.

"Good evening Your Highness."

[ostro_goth]

"Greetings, Carlotta!" Teja says, lifting his gaze from the arm-ring. "I was looking for you, to ask you if maybe, you would come visit my people in Gotland with me."

[fiery_ring]

"Oh, certainly sir." Carlotta says, smiling. "Thank you, it would be a nice break from the snow I just came from."

[ostro_goth]

"Snow?" Teja says. "It is the height of spring there, so indeed, it shall be a break from any snow. I would wait and see if Demeter would come along, also."

[fiery_ring]

"Just a sprinkle, it is Spain after all." Carlotta says. "A little more on the mountain."

She nods. "It will be wizard to all go together."

[ostro_goth]

"It would indeed be," Teja says. "They have met her already, and she would be there to help if you are overwhelmed in any way."

[fiery_ring]

"Overwhelmed? I am a woman of the world now, you know!"

[ostro_goth]

"There are very many children," Teja points out.

[fiery_ring]

"I'm not afraid of children, I'm afraid of childbirth, they're entirely different matters." Carlotta says.

[ostro_goth]

"That is not what I meant," Teja says. "But they can be overwhelming, in such great hordes, and so close to each other in age. And loud!"

[fiery_ring]

"I used to go to boarding school." Carlotta points out.

[ostro_goth]

"I merely wish you to be warned, and safe," Teja says.

[fiery_ring]

"Thank you sir. I just want to make sure you know I'm not afraid of children."

Demeter enters from the front door and brushes some rain out of her hair as she spots them,

"Hello, I'm sorry I'm late but I needed to take care of a broken trellis."

[ostro_goth]

"We have not waited long," Teja says, standing up.

[fiery_ring]

"Indeed, I have just arrived." Carlotta says, giving Demeter a hug.
