“I certainly hope today does not reach yesterday’s level of unrest!” Saeryn said. “I will tell you whatever you ask of myself, though it is hard talking of oneself a great deal. Come, let us go to the kitchen first and see what there is to be had of breakfast.”
They walked together to the kitchen and Lady Wynflaed set the example to sit at the kitchen table and break her fast there. Saeryn joined her, happy to see that she was not so superior that she could not sit with the women who served her. Kara set two boals of steaming porridge before them.
“Kara,” Saeryn said before picking up her spoon. She reached out and took Kara’s hand. “How are you doing today?”
“Better, Saeryn,” Kara said, glancing briefly across at Wynflaed.
“It is alright,” Saeryn told her reassuringly. “You may speak freely before lady Wynflaed.”
“It is a little hard, getting used to his not being here. But I will soon be well.” Saeryn smiled, and pressed her hand before letting go and turning to her breakfast.
“We may as well start in the kitchen as anywhere else,” Saeryn said. “As you can see, Fordides, Kara, Modtryth and Ginna manage quite well with things. I help when I can. There will be a lot more to do with more men here. I am glad that you have brought your maid servant with you. Will she be able to help with the household duties?”
