Laena<br/><br/>Laena was slightly relieved when the woman softened toward her. She noticed that Alyssandra thought Gaiana had the headache instead of Diana, but let it go. It was hard enough for her to wrap her mouth around the complicated Greek language without having to try and correct a misunderstanding as well. She knew enough about medicines to know that it wouldn't make much difference in the case of the sisters, as they were both relatively the same size.<br/><br/>When offered to come inside, Laena hesitated. She woman had said that beasts had been inside her house earlier and the slave wasn't quite sure if beasts meant animals or humans. She was brave, but couldn't handle the idea of seeing a corpse inside the house. Luckily, she managed to overcome her fear and entered the house, taking care to stay only where directed. She was interested in seeing the stores of a working alchemist, but even though the woman might be being kind to her, she was still a slave and must maintain her place, lest the woman complain to Gaiana's father about her.<br/><br/>Laena spoke nothing and waited in the foyer, until directed to move again. She did, however, take an active interest in observing everything around her. The smells permeating the air made Laena remember her mother's house, and she instantly felt more comfortable.
