"Just by dealing with things over and over is all," I said, my amusement still with me. "It's by far a much less exciting than your own duties, I'm sure." Duty? Perhaps a wrong choice of words, though I thought Geraldine would understand what I meant. Sitting back I brought my legs back under me again, and, crossing my ankles, I took in a soft sigh of the fresh spring air.

I sighed. Mirielle didn't know half of the story. "Well, it's a peaceful life, really. I spend a lot of time with the children, tending the garden," I pointed to the scented spot, "and doing other small things. Occassionnally, I accept an assignation, and it makes my life a bit more eventful for a moment."

"I'm sure it does," I said with a grin. "I suppose there's always something that appeals from one side to another; that's how it always seems anyhow."

I smiled softly. "It is true. I'm not complaining, really. I could have more assignations, if I wished to.... but I am a little bit difficult, I'll admit."

"Difficult?" The word popped out before I could stop it, and I gave an apologetic look afterwards. "I'm sorry - you don't have to answer that. Still, though, Heliotrope is beautiful. I don't know if I could make myself leave if I ever was to stay here overnight."

I smiled. "I'm choosy, that's all Mirielle. It's no secret in the House or even to anyone who knows me a little."

"There's nothing wrong with being choosey; it simply shows you have tastes, and are unwilling to sell yourself out for less than what you think you should recieve." I smiled, looking over at her.

"You must raise your prices then," I said with a slight tease, though undeniably touched by her words.
The sun had lowered significantly since I'd offered to bring Geraldine back to her House, and as we sat in quiet talk the warm rays had angled over the distant treetops. "I should be heading off," I said with some regret, my breath reflecting a sigh.

A small chill ran up my spine, the low sunlight no longer heating my skin. "I will see you off, then take this little one to rest," I replied. "It's getting chilly."

I smiled, reaching out to brush the dark hair of the girl back out of her face as she slept. "That's alright. You should get her somewhere more comfortable; I can find my way out. It shouldn't be too difficult."
With a smile I stood, smoothing my skirts around me. "Thank you for showing me your House."

"I'm sorry, Mirielle, I can't let you leave without seeing you off. It wouldn't be proper." I replied. "Besides, Sacha can sleep hours on end on people. She likes it that way," I replied, stifling a grunt of discomfort, for my back was a little sore.

I laughed softly with Geraldines comment on the child sleeping on people. "It seems like she had no problem napping on you. Perhaps it's the loving embrace she craves, the need to be held and comforted. Still, perhaps we should hurry then so you can be more comfortable."
My eyes twinkles as I waited for her, taking one last look around the garden. "So much for the oppertunity to become lost and stumble across the pleasure chambers alone.." I said teasingly, not having meant it in the slightest.

Standing up as I held Sacha against me with a steady arm, I laughed. "That's right, Mirielle. All the more reason for you to come back to the House."
I smiled to myself as we made our way to the door. I hadn't had such a good time in a few weeks, since that lunch with Aaliyah at the White Manor, I mused.

"All the more reason," I agreed, though my thoughts turned momentarily to Gillermo, and I wondered silently if I'd need such interaction from the House Geraldine called home.
Once we'd reached the door I paused, leaning over and giving the pretty dark haired adept a kiss upon her chee. "Thank you for the lovely day, Geraldine no Heliotrope. Perhaps we'll see each other again at the fete."

"I certainly hope so, My Lady Bellamont." I smiled. "You know where to find me, should some ramblings need to come out," I added, my grin earnest and my eyes kind.

I smiled, appreciating her offer. "Thank you. Good luck with the little one, and I hope your day ends well."
With a wave and a smile I headed off down the path, my carriage rolling out from around the corner to greet me at the reception area.
