Day 93 - Mid-Morning (Matin et Demi)

[bluealgesistone]

Gise woke up early and had already gotten dressed.  She already put away all the clothes and shoes that she picked out in town yesterday.  She was wearing a white sundress with lace frills and had tied her hair into pigtails with blue satin ribbons.  She was dancing around her room, barefoot, with a smoldering smudge stick in the air.  Fortunately

Gunter usually left his village conquests early in the morning to avoid including them in an unnecessary scandal. The rain was excessive and the thunder and lightning was scaring his horse. He had little choice but to walk back to the castle. He did manage to stable the horse and collect his belongings - which he held over his head for a time in order to stay somewhat dry

Gise heard a voice coming from outside and without missing a beat she deftly placed the smudge stick in the abalone shell she had gotten yesterday and bounced to the window. She looked out the window and down into the courtyard while bouncing on the balls of her feet. She immediately recognized her friend from yesterday, the man that looked like her father.

"Allo Gunter, is not the weather wonderful! J'aime la pluie! But you should come up here before you get ill." She shouted down to Gunter with a gleeful smile on her face.

Even though his powers failed him, his wits were still sharp. That was a relief.

"I'd prefer it to be a little less wet," and he could do without the thunder and lightning too, "but I was most certainly heading inside. I'm certain there is a rather warm bath and hopefully some breakfast awaiting my arrival." Well, at least, the maids would make him something if he asked.

"Would you like me to join you? Or would you prefer to flirt with the maids while I finish smudging my room? Whichever you prefer. If you want just come up and get me, I should not be much longer."

Gise then bounced back to her smudge stick and doused it in the shell. She then lit the sweetgrass braid and blew on it to smolder it. Then she proceeded to do the same with the braid as she was doing with the smudge stick. After she had finished with that she doused that as well in the shell. She then got out the oil burner, lit the candle in the bottom and placed a few drops of fennel oil in the dish. She wafted the vapors over to her face to make sure it wasn't too strong and then pounced on her bed swinging her legs back and forth as she waited for Gunter to come up.
