Lorelai watched Genoveve's face as the girl's expessions seemed to flit about from one to the other.  Happiness when she looked at Laina,  attempts to remain calm as she spoke,  and nervousness otherwise.  The joys of being young,  she supposed,  either way it was endearing.  Suppressing the urge to giggle at the poor girl's apprehension,  Lorelai retrieved a scrap of stationary from her table and handed it to Genoveve.

[color=f26522]"What you do in your own time is, of course, your buisness Genoveve.  That being said I'd like to offer my congratulations and best wishes."[/color]  She favored the new couple with a small smile.  [color=f26522]"Now,  I would like an amount of your time if you would.  I need these things from the Glow Wood to renew the castle's many defensive enchantments.  I would retrieve them myself,  but I find myself drained as of late."[/color]

[color=f26522]"Do be cautious while you're out though,  fall is here,  and with it an increase in hunter activity.  Very few of them know of the Glow Wood,  but if one of you was hurt while you were out it would pain me greatly."[/color]
