"I need you to do an errand for me" he said to her in a serious manner, as he changed the subject. "It's alright for him to tease me but I can't return the 'favour' " she thought to herself in annoyance.
"Anything my lord" Maia responded formally. As Leon stood there as his back was turned towards her, "I need you to go into town and get me these things" he said to her, handing her a list of items to buy from the city markets.
"Oh… of course my lord… I will leave at once" she said and left his presence. "Maia…" he called to her tenderly before she left, she turned around and face him,
"Thank you for today" he grinned at her.
