The handmaiden sighed, wretched children. She looked at him. "One moment child; if your doing this for a prank.." she left it unsaid. Knocking on the door, she entered, and Khalraan slipped in before she could close it. She gave him a glare, "Calaethis!" she called, "You have a visitor." she looked at Khalraan, "Whats your name boy?" she asked. "'Khalraan' came the reply. "Calaethis! A child named Khalraan wishes to talk to you! He says you know him!"
Calaethis appeared at this point. He looked irrated, and asked "What is it Khalraan? I'm tired, I was just about to bathe..." Khalraan relayed what he had told the handmaiden, and Calaethis swore, then hastily glanced at Sui'aerl, who turned a blindeye to his language - this time... "Khalraan - I'm all used up... theres nothing I can do... I couldn't even cast a minor spell, let a lone a spell that would heal her... oh gods, don't cry, listen, Verloren could help you - shes a cleric - as has more powerful magic then I do anyway..."
He broke off. ""Sylquisitae... what are you... Sylquisitae!" a blushing Calaethis exclaimed. Sylquisitae dripping wet, and wearing only a bathing towel, which covered her modestly, but hugged her slim form, entered the room. Unself-conscious of her state, she asked shyly, "Lord Calaethis, you mentioned clothing earlier? Tyra is still bathing, shes washing her hair. She sniffed slightly "My lord, may I ask who that is?" She looked at Khalraan who was gawking, and was promtly cuffed by Sui'aerl "Keep your eyes where they belong boy!" she snapped at him. Calaethis shook his head and rolled his eyes, 'great' he thought 'this is all I need'
"Sylquis dear, you don't mind if I call you that do you?" she blushed and shook her head, "In the other room, there's a wardrobe - inside, there are some clothes, I'm afraid they all male clothing though, but I'm sure you could find a under- damn, I'm not thinking, Handmaiden Sui'aerl, would you mind summoning a servant and ask them to provide clothing for the two girls please?" The handmaiden smiled gently at him, "Of course Calaethis, and shall I escort the child out?"
"Who Sylquis? Oh, you mean Khalraan; yes of course, point him Lady Verloren's direction please?"
