Laena<br/><br/>Laena nearly protested to Bethania's proclaimation of her being late, having forced herself to spend no time doing things she shouldn't have. Instead, she kept her anger to herself and bowed her head as she always did, saying nothing. She promised herself that next time she would take the time out for herself. If she was going to be punished either way, she might as well get some enjoyment out of the process. As soon as she was out of hearing distance, she called the matron the worst thing she could think of in her native language.<br/><br/>Leaving the angry old prude behind her, she went up the stairs to find her Mistress and Diana. She came upon them and the sight of them both instantly made her feel so much better. Her Mistress was looking beautiful in the peplos Laena had laid out for her, and Diana was looking perfect as always. She bowed as she came upon them and held out the medicine for Diana with the instructions. Laena couldn't read Greek so she had no idea what was written, but she figured a salve was a salve and she waited for the instruction to apply it.<br/><br/>While Diana inspected the medicine, Laena took the moment to smile at Gaiana. She wanted to ask so many questions about the rest of the day and the potential use of the coin concealed on her person but knew she was not allowed to speak freely and settled for observing the sisters and smiling.
