Hmm What is this. (Aeri)

[Thoth]

Optia 13

The acting Aediles of diana arrived at the Concilium Sodalitatis with a bag, and hopes. She appeared tired, but set in her resolve. She was greated at the enterances and nodded her head towards the Governoress secratary. "I need to visit with Her Excellency about some city matters." she said adjusting her briefcase.

[Aerienne Sarista]

The secretary inclined his head politely. He was a Tabbiri lad, not much past his majority, and the flicking of his tail indicated his perkiness. "Of course ma'am. One moment." He stood and went to the door of the office behind him, knocked, and then poked his head in. A moment passed, and then he stuck his head out.

"She'll see you now." He stood aside and pushed open the door.

Beyond was the office of the Governess. The floor was of polished hardwood, oiled and gleaming in the sunlight that came through the floor-length windows. Flowers had been set in garlands that adorned the walls and transplanted vines, lending a fragrant air of honeysuckle, jasmine, and heather to the room. A large desk of dark walnut stood in the center of the room, on a rug of green Arakmatan silk, and behind it sat the Ancient Aelyrian.

Aerienne looked up and waved. "Serale there! Care for some tea?" Her smile was bright and warm, and the trilling, echoing voice was light. She gestured to a silver tea service set against a corner of the room, complete with biscuits, butter, jam, and honey. There were plush chairs nearby too, for guests.

The middle aged woman nodded before Aeri, her governor, she would have bowed but was clutching her bag tightly to her chest. She hadn't ever been inside of the Basilica thinking it was to grand for the likes of her. She was here now and she felt for good reasons.

She nodded her head and squeaked, "Yes," then cleared her throat and said in a more normal voice, "Yes please." She stood still clutching her bag, not sure what exactly was the protocal in this situation.

[Aerienne Sarista]

The poor woman was so excited! Aeri gave her a look of concern and stood, going over to the tea service and preparing two cups of tea. When she was close enough, she began projecting waves of calm and peace through her empathy.

"There there now, calm down. Everything is okay." She smiled. "I'm Aeri. What's your name?" Maybe the question would calm her a little more.
