Leaving Leios behind the counter, Ava opened the door to the kitchen and was once again surprised. Camilla and Livia were in the scullery, finishing up with the utensils. When they noticed her, they turned and smiled.
"Good morning!"
"...Good morning...Honest..."
"Ssh!"
Arabella was about to thank them, but Camilla shushed her, placing her foamy index finger to her mouth while still smiling.
"Haven't they told you that we're only repaying your hospitality? Though it's not much, I'm glad you're still impressed. Thank you once again." She finished with a slight bow.
"Of course it's a lot! I could never ask for anything more than this! Now, the only thing I can do is set up the day's offerings."
"I can help you with that!" Livia chimed in.
"Are you not tired? You can rest; it's just a little task..."
"I still have some energy left in reserve, don't worry!"
