A slightly chilly breeze passed over Trix, raising bumps along her arms. Odd, had she not closed the door all the way when she'd come in? Sighing yet again, she stood up, casting a glance into the fire, before grabbing the pan of fish, and putting it on the stone rack. It wouldn't take long to cook, and she was quite looking forward to it. She moved from her apartment into her apothecary. There she noticed one of her windows was opened, pushed outward. She saw her jasmine vine wrapped around the handle, on the outside, [color=f49ac2][i][b]"Oh, did you pull my window open? Naughty girl."[/b][/i][/color] She gently reached out, plucking the green tendril between two fingers and setting it against her wall. 

[color=f49ac2][i][b]"There we go, much better."[/b][/i][/color] She shut the window and found the aroma of the wine and fish wafting over her, bringing a smile to her lips. It was starting to get darker, and would be fully night any moment. Long, dark shadows cast themselves all around her apothecary, but none of them inspired fear within the young woman. This was her sanctuary after all. Walking slowly forward, her fingers outstretched, brushing gently against her plants, lovingly, caressing, moving back to her quarters. 

Kneeling down by the fire, she saw that the fish was whitening at the bottom, so she grabbed a fork from her kit, and gently flipped it, only tearing it lightly. Returning to her earlier musings, [color=f49ac2][i][b]"Well, there's Edoward I suppose... He's nice, funny sometimes, and is a knight. But... I don't know. I just don't know."[/b][/i][/color] Definitely time to get a dog, dad would know where to go for a good breeder. She always did enjoy visiting the capital. 

She poked at the potato, watching the fork slip in easily, pulling it out. Standing up, she grabbed a plate, and plopped the spud upon it. She waited a few more minutes and did the same with the fish. Setting the plate on the table, she moved back through the apothecary quickly, heading into her shop area, to fetch her accounting books. She always double checked her books during dinner.
