Gatherings  Prelude<br/><br/>Within moments of Sakura leaving she returns with the chatelaine who had three youths in tow with three ornate silk and teak wood folding camp chairs. As the chairs were aligned with plenty of room between them, the chatelaine approached. "<strong>My apologies, honored guests, we shall remedy the lack of proper seating immediately. These chairs have a variety of options available for your comfort. If you need, I can realign them into another configuration.</strong>" She rested her hand upon one, and with a moments focus, redesigned itself into an opulent marble settle inlaid with moonsilver and orichalcum designs across the high neck and low foot. Cushions, pillows, and a few small blankets were brought and set in the corner. One of the youths left, and soon returned with a chest of steel windchimes, hanging the minor wonders around the veranda. As the light breeze stirred the chimes, the chimes emitted heat through a fire enchantment, bringing the veranda to a warmer clime.<br/>The chatelaine apologized for the lack of proper attendants, and advised that two of the youths would be in attendance for any needs they may have forward. She showed proper deference to Ellara, Yume, and Sakura as guests in her house. Looking to Yume to identify Sakura's status as inferior, servant, student or equal.<br/>As she left, only one of the young men followed, leaving two standing discretely just inside the door. The two boys would never have been accepted as pages in a great house, as they fidgeted and whispered quietly, but they were unobtrusive enough. They wore light blue tunic and capris with well crafted sandals and belt. Each had a knife that would be more than an eating implement, but that was where the similarities ended. The shorter of the two, 8 years or so, was red-headed, and bore tattoos on both shoulders just below the neckline of his tunic. Possibly full back. While the taller tow headed child of possible 12 years, bore his clean skin with pride and whispered about the defilement that were tattoos to the younger.
