Laena<br/><br/>Laena waited patiently for the alchemist to return, sitting in the chair provided. When Alyssandra returned with the medicine, Laena took it and nodded when she was told it was a gift. "That is very generous of you, Ma'am." She nearly turned away but the woman slipped a coin into her hand and she paused. She had never had a coin given to her before for her own personal use, and it surprised her. She looked up at Alyssandra's sapphire eyes directly, raising her head. "Thank you."<br/><br/>The package in her hand reminded her that she had better get back to the house as fast as possible before the Matron decided she'd been dawdling, so she bowed her head again. "Gods be with you." She left the house, then before starting the journey back, she quickly hid the coin inside her peplos.<br/><br/>(( At 2009-03-06 20:06:00, Callys (uid: 5195) rolls: 3d6 Result: 11 (http://elliquiy.com/diceserv/index.php?r=8678) for Holdout.))<br/><br/>Laena started the walk back to the house, wishing she could just go to the market instead and see what she could get with her new coin. Perhaps during the festival she would be able to sneak away for a while unnoticed.<br/><br/>Once she arrived at the house, she went straight to the Matron to deliver the medicine, hoping that the woman would be in a good mood.<br/><br/>
