Kethry had hoped merely to hear some of the older woman's tales so the dismissal of others was most unexpected and more so was her request for basically a private audience.  "I would be most delighted," she said most respectfully though inside her gut clenched.  The woman's choice of words seemed to bode perhaps some ill tidings and that made her nervous.  She walked smootly though, her gait easy and not rushing the older woman and granting her the respect due to one who has lived and learned much.
