"Well you'd always be welcome." She said as he took the dishes out of her hands. "Though the decision is really up to yourself. Anyway, I have to go and take the flock out to the pasture." She said as she stood up and heard the rumbling coming from the upperfloor, clearly her siblings were up.
"Ella! Stop taking dad's vest, it's mine, you have mom's!" Came the complaint from Edric as Ella sprinted downstairs, clearly having healed well enough from her troubles yesterday to be up to her regular misschief again, with Edric limping behind her. Ella bolted down the stairs clearly wearing a woolen vest that was two sizes to big for her slender frame. 
Selene sighed before taking a spoon and slamming it down upon the dinnertable drawing the attention of the others to her.
"Edric stop shouting and Ella give Edric back his vest or so help me I will make you do all the washing for a month and chain you to the bloody tub!"
Ella looked horrified.
"You can't that's slave labour!"
"Do you really want to test my patience Ella? DO you?" Selene warned as she put her hands on her hips, before turning to Edric and saying.
"Sorry Edric, but I am claiming Dad's vest for now for Captain Malcom. He's coming with me to tend the flock and he'll need something warmer than only a shirt."
Edric's eyes widened, he hadn't noticed Malcom yet, since the man was standing out of view for the two.
"You mean he's up?"
Selene nodded before she winced as the two hurried towards the diningtable to ask her, but now saw the man in question standing a few feet from them.
"He doesn't stink anymore...and didn't he have longer hair a beard?" Ella asked, having barely seen the man and trying to recall what she remembered from last night.
"Yes, but he cleaned up nicely." Selene said. "So why don't you give him dad's vest, as Edric said you don't need it since you have mom's." Selene pointed out and watched her sister frown, before taking it off and moving over to him.
"Hi, my name is Ella, nice to meet you Captain and thank you for helping us." Ella said with a bright blush on her cheeks.
Edric rolled his eyes at it and said.
"You're just as bad as she is." Edric said to Ella pointing at Selene, earning him a glare from his older sister that he ignored before asking. "She didn't push you into anything right? You're free to say no, you don't have to be shackled down to harpy like her." This earned him a swing, that he quickly dodged. 
"See, she's as violent as they come!"
"I will show you violent you miscreant!" Selene said grabbing a pillow of the couch and flinging it at her brother, this time hitting him square in the face.
"I need to take the flock out, you two can go and have breakfast, but by the time I come back this place better be spotless!" She threatened.
Ella groaned. "Not more chores..."
Selene glared at her. "Don't complain to me, your actions from yesterday nearly cost us our yearly tribute! So you have a whole lot to pay for Ella. You are hereby under house arrest for a month!"
"That's not fair!"
"After what you did it is more than fair!" Selene threw back. "Ask your brother how badly behind you were!" Selene stated as she pulled on her own vest aggressively and grabbed one of the larger staffs. "I'll be out, I will see you later." She promised as she grabbed Malcom by the arm and dragged him along into the shed, ignoring the whispers from her sister asking her brother about last night.
"Oh, she practically waltzed all over him...that was before she cleaned him up, you should have seen her, the moment that beard had come off her face grew bright red..."
