At midday
(12-13-04)
Keygan rose from the bed feeling well rested and surprisingly clear headed. The bed though nothing fancy, had been very comfortable. She could hear what sounded like the clanging of metal on metal from down below. She went to the washstand in her room to clean up. Then she changed into fresh clothes. Her stomach howled with hunger. She opened the window to see what was going on below while she brushed her hair, and then braided it again. She could see the courtyard, and the smith at work pounding something out on his anvil. It also looked as though the change of guards was happening on the heights. Keygan finished with her hair and put away her things. Once done, she headed back to the kitchens.
The kitchen's smelled good, Mistress Narelle seemed to be inspecting some just baked loaves of bread. A young man smiled at her as he scoured table tops."You've only just missed lunch, should I try to round up a plate for you?" He asked.
Keygan nodded as the tantalizing smells made her mouth water. A few minutes later he brought her a plate, with a small beef pie, and some roasted vegetables, as well as a small basket with rolls and butter. A moment later Narelle brought her some hot tea and then sat down to join her.
"Did you sleep well?" Narelle inquired.
"Yes, thank you." Keygan replied.
"Good, Good, when you are through let me know and I will take you to the Commandant's office." Narelle said, before rising from the table to resume her duties. Keygan fell upon her meal lustily.
