Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Nicely done, Kerobian, better in many ways than what we've been having to have of late. Brother Hegwyn broke his hand a month ago and ever since, we've been taking turns attempting to fill his place. Very well. Tomorrow we would like for you to attend the morning services before you actually accompany us during our worship. Master Talesian may join us, of course, and play if he so wishes. As neither Sharmistra and I have lesson plans formulated as yet. I would think you may have a few more days of freedom er we tie you down with your studies. Tomorrow is Freas Day... then comes the week's end. So let's arrange for you to begin to play as well as attend lessons starting on Mondes Day. And as your day will begin far earlier than some, and last a bit longer than most, I will arrange for you to take your morning and noonday meal here at the temple.

"As for your schedule... I suspect for the time being we will be playing it by ear for some time. Your day will start with the morning service, of course... then you will break fast and attend Sharmistra for your math lessons and whatever chores she may have ready for you at this time. I usually do most of my work in the mornings, so following the noon meal, you will attend me here... in my office. Does this sound fair to you?"

His reluctance doesn't go unnoticed by the Dawnlord who merely smiles kindly at him and nods. "If I had to recount the number of times I had to do things I didn't wish to do in this life, I'd be here for a week at least. The important thing is to move on from here and make the best of what you do do... not moan about what you did wrong or haven't gotten to do."

Mica laughs out loud and shoos him from the office. "Remember... tomorrow you are to join us for the service. Don't worry... you won't be required to play until Mondes Day. I just want you familiar with the service and how it plays out."

The priest looks up from her examining of a small boy that is scrubbing at his face with one sleeve and clutching a sweet in his free hand. "One minute, Kerobian. Andy fell and scraped the heck out of his knee. I've cleaned it and bandaged it up... now he needs the prerequisite scolding about running around in public places without watching where one is going...."

"Please, Dawnmistress.... I... I won't do it again... promise..." begs the boy rolling his eyes and flashing her a small grin. "Can I go now?"

Sharmistra laughs and sends him home with a pat on the head. Then turning to Kerobian, she stands there hands on hips with a small frown. "So you really want to tease your guardian that much... "

Sharmistra smiles wisely and puts away her supplies before joining him at the door, "So what was it he did to you this time?"

Sharmistra laughs merrily. "My dorm mates did that with me once, while I was still an acolyte. I was notorious for never being on time... and had to be somewhere very important one day..." She gives him a wink and follows him out of the temple.

Sharmistra knocks on the door, waiting patiently for Talesian to open it. When he does, she gushes with enthusiasm.

"Master Talesian, I am so happy for you. You must allow me to organize the whole thing. I'm quite good at setting up special celebrations/"

Tam stares at her for a moment then scratches his head. "Celebration?" he starts to say but she over rides him before he can get anything out.

"Of course you must bring her to the village soon... I am sharing my room with no one at the moment, so she can stay with me. No need to put her up at the inn... and I'm quite certain Dawnlord Mica will be happy to officiate. Oh I just can't wait... this is going to be so much fun.... a wedding... in the fall is such a beautiful event...." She gives the stunned bard a hug and skips off merrily back to the temple, leaving him standing at the door staring after her in confusion.
