Clavia had just gotten back in from watching the children get their morning lessons from Director Purah, bringing Karin home for the midday meal.
"Karin, can you go answer the door for your mum?" she asked, digging around in the cold box for the milk she bought that morning.
Karin got up from the floor where she was reading more about the Calamity from a hundred years ago, beyond what they were studying in class, setting her book aside to go answer the door.
Her eyes widened when she saw who was at the door. "... Mom! The queen's here!" o_o
Clavia leaned back out of the kitchen area to see the door from around the wall that sectioned off the dining area from the rest of the house. "For mercy's sake, child, let her in."
Karin slowly held open the door to let the queen in, staring in wide-eyed awe.
