[ The woman that appears is a - level expression, a little happy or sad that plays on her features. Level, most especially, as she clears her throat. Her veil tied around her head to tame her curls back, her shift and vest tying herself up neatly.

Peeking out from her veil is her lamp friend, and drifting around her in a circle is a soft finned creature, her Omen. Delicately colored in reds and blues as it swims in the air. ]

I find myself remiss, in how to make an introduction...

... I am Second-Child, Gilia St. Loe, Daughter-Sea, She Who Sings the Ocean to Prosperity, Who Echoes With the Ceaseless Voice.

[ That out of the way. ]

I am new to this place, this... city. I do not have much in the way of the coin, but I am skilled in other forms. I can sew, weave, till a field, clean, cast a line, or a net, gut a fish, help tend animals, both with birthing and killing, cook many types of meals...

But if you have need of anything repaired or cooked... please, if there is something I can do for resources in return, only let me know, and I shall be your glad servant.

Greetings, Mistress Makoto Kino, thank you for your kind words.

[ The name is so dreadfully sweet. How lovely. ]

If there is something I may do, in exchange for some flour, I would be most oblidged.

[thunderingcourage]

You're welcome.

[It was strange hearing mistress added, but it seemed like something a lot of people used here.]

Think of it like a welcome gift to help you get settled in. Usually people just bring something they baked or made.

[seaboard]

That I will do. It is incredible that everyone seems to have an oven in their house, truly...

[thunderingcourage]

Yeah, we were pretty lucky. Before there were some that didn't have anything but a fireplace.

[seaboard]

[ She blinks a moment. ]

... Do you... do you bake with something that is not a fireplace?

[thunderingcourage]

Well, we usually use the oven for baking. And the stovetop to help prepare other things. The fireplace is really helpful for drying things though, and keeping warm when it's cold.

[ PAUSE.

Looks around her house.

At her fireplace with the pots cooking on it right at this moment. ]

I am afraid I do not know what any of those things are?

[thunderingcourage]

Oh well if you'd like I could show you. I was offering cooking lessons before I opened the bakery.

[seaboard]

Mayhap in... in a little. I think I am a little... overwhelmed by so many new things to learn.

[thunderingcourage]

I understand it's a lot to take in at first. But whenever you're ready let me know, I can ben give you a few recipes.
