Peony put the finishing touches on lunch just as her clock struck noon. Quiz wound around her ankles and she expertly stepped around him as she set the table. Cognizant of the fact that not everyone liked their food fiery, she had made the majority of the dishes quite mild - by her standards - and prepared a fairly wide variety, just to ensure her guest did not leave hungry. She enjoyed cooking; it was both relaxing and practical, and the reward of delicious food was immediate.
Quiz meowed and she bent down to give him a bit of uncooked fish. She set some more aside to take down to the nursing mother cat and her kittens as well, wishing again that she had been able to coax the somewhat wild feline indoors. Still, they seemed content in their corner of the grounds, and the weather had been mild. The mother might be wild, but Peony was content knowing that she would give the kittens to warmer homes.
She took the last few moments before her guest's arrival to tidy up, setting aside books, scrolls, and crystals, and putting her latest manuscript into a drawer. Better all around that it not be out when she was expecting company - the sequel to The Corsair's Choice was still in its infancy. Siana, she calculated, should be here any minute; someone would have pointed her in the direction of the waystone leading to the ninth floor, and the journey up was much quicker this way than it would be if she chose the much less convenient stairs.
