Laena<br/><br/>Laena was quite pleased with herself to have created such a bouquet for her Mistress on such short notice. It hadn't been difficult since she knew her way around flowers like the back of her hand, but to have forgotten about something like that could have been a grave mistake. She was nearly skipping on her way back to her Mistress' chambers to deliver the bouquet, then maybe even crawl back into bed with her for  a little while.<br/><br/>Unfortunately that thought was broken in two as she heard her name being called by the last person she wanted to meet. Of all the slaves, the Matron was the one with the most power, and she didn't spare her usage of it. Laena shuddered as she approached her, afraid she was about to be punished for leaving the flowers to the last moment. She lowered her head and stayed silent, nodding when appropriate. When given her assignment, then rushed out of the room, Laena sighed. So much for an easy relaxing day.<br/><br/>The slave went back to her Mistress' quarters, almost disappointed to see that she was still sleeping, and set the bouquet down next to her clothing. She had hoped that Gaiana would have been awake and required her enough to make one of the others fetch this headache cure, but it was not so. With a backwards glace, Laena left the room silently and made her way out of the house and into the busy streets.<br/><br/>She knew where this Pyrrha woman lived well enough, though she had never been there by herself before. Silently, she thought about how silly it was to pay someone for a cure that could easily be remedied with the herbs being grown in their own garden, but Laena would never reveal that part of herself to any Master or Mistress. Her knowledge made her a liability as a slave. She had learned that Greeks expected their slaves to be obedient and dumb, because a smart slave could end up influencing the Master, and that just wasn't allowed.<br/><br/>After a while of walking, she finally came upon the house of Alyssandra of Pyrrha, the one she was looking for. She took a deep breath, then knocked three times, hoping the woman was there and awake, or she would be in a large amount of trouble to return home with nothing.<br/>
