The five retainers in Seia's bed awakened when she did, her stirrings caused other girls stir and yawn and stretch languidly, both for comfort and also nice visual temptation to their mistress. Katarina smiles, showing her shining teeth and her eyes focused on Seia's she replies; "Yes lady Seia, I go check what's in the kitchen." Katarina rises from bed and only adds dark purple silk veil around her hips with golden delicate chain before she departs. Her outfit is revealing but the staff in the house are used to the sight by now. But they are not Cynis and they may have guests from other merchants so some pretense for decency should always be expected. Also not all women or men share interest to wyld mutated futa women like Katarina but they both could marvel her bared breasts.<br/><br/>Syri stretched her toned body, she was tallest from all Seia's retainers and rightfully so. She had been a chieftain's daughter who had been enslaved before Bull of the North had vanquished dragon-blood houses in north. Her body is well toned and muscular, as chieftain's daughter she had been skilled huntress and fierce with spear, but neither had matched dragon-blood forces. She throws her blond braid over her shoulder and replies while kneeling in the bed after her stretching and flexing muscles; "I do as you wish<em>ma'dane</em>." Syris had been broken by Cynis trainers but good ones, as they kept her cultural charm and language instead completely brainwash her. She was high in market because her natural assets. However Syris had said never call anyone as<em>ma'dane</em>but Seia had been very kind to her so Seia had earned the privilege. So far as Seia knows,<em>ma'dane</em>means 'my lady' in north speak, but icewalkers only use it when speaking to woman who is very high status and serving them as form of willing submission to their superiority. Syri goes to side room where Seia's armor is stored and clothes, starting collect them and prepare them.<br/><br/>Asara and Lesara smile and depart prepare hurriedly the bath and both speaking so that one starts and one finishes after short pause between; "Yes mistress.....we shall try be quick!" a sound of rushing water is heard and faint scent of Seia's favorite soaps and oils being prepared are smelled. Zana goes outside the door naked, fetching today's mail from Seia's door. Sliding golden rings off from delicate white parchments she rolls them open and reads them. Kneeling besides Seia while they wait bath quickly prepared and reading the scrolls, she speaks while she reads while waiting baths prepared; "Your mother sends her regards and makes request you to attend in grand Dynast House gathering in Imperial Manse at thirteen bells, a exclusive gathering of all house matriarchs and patriarchs along with their chosen siblings. Contents of said meeting are not mentioned but likely related to the festival and likely usual political bickering and talk."
