<div style="text-align: center">Pulling weeds wasn't what Saga had in mind when she imagined gardening, but it made the most sense. She was a grunt, and had to prove herself to Sonja. Maybe then, she could earn the respect of her given name being used. With a careful smirk, Saga bent down at the waist and wrapped her hands around a bundle of yellow, flowering weeds. They were actually pretty, but Sonja wanted them pulled and she didn't think to question it. As she pulled, she realized the plants were sturdier than expected. The roots reached far into the ground, and Saga wondered why they had allowed the weeds to grow so wild in the first place. <br/>
<br/>
"From the base, girl. Give it a good hard pull," Sonja said, not too rudely, but like she wasn't impressed. Saga simply nodded in understanding, and lowered herself and pulled the weeds straight from the soil. She stumbled backwards a little when the tendrils were freed, but she quickly regained her footing. As she was tossing it to the side, she saw the Earl approaching. She looked magnificent with her fur lined cloak, and she didn't seem as mortified to see Saga's face again. Sonja moved to the weeds that Saga had been working on, though kept a watchful eye on her pupil as she conversed with the Earl. It wasn't completely out of the ordinary to see the Earl up and about this early, but there was work to be done. <br/>
<br/>
"Hello again, Earl." Saga said, dusting her bare hands off, then smoothing them on her apron and leaving faint streaks of soil along the fabric. "It's true. I'm a very lucky girl, getting to work so close to the Earl and earn her favor before the rest of my tribe." The red-head said in jest, as she made eye contact with the woman. "Perhaps then, we can continue our conversation from last night? If you ever have a spare moment, that is. I know you're a very busy, very  important person. " Saga asked, then clarified as not to sound too eager. Even still, she couldn't help the smile that crept on her lips when she said the last words. Her sarcasm seemed to seep in at the worst times.​</div>
