Yes, fear of the beast was diminished, and she came and went from the chateau..for days missing Nessa or the girls..for everyone seemed in such a bustling hurry about the place. She was shooed from a harried servant, after stepping on freshly mopped floors, stood blinking to see her feathered bed stripped of sheets, and rather like the underfoot dog, she tried to stay out of the way, lest She be put to work.
She did manage to corner Gilda, and talk her into making a stew for her new tavern, as well as a few loaves of bread, and was given it with a hurried brusque manner,that Gilda could just get back to work.
Cricket knew that family was coming..a subject touchy for her..but until the cleaning was done, and the new guests had arrived, she spent most of her time at her new tavern.
It gave her a place to get away to, and a safer place than the chateau to conduct business.
She wished she could have spent more time with Nessa, alone, or with Saji..but she could wait.
Nessa was so skittish with the many tasks at hand, it was impossible to get her to sit for more than a few moments, and she seemed unable to fathom Crickets tales of days passing.
Truth be told..Cricket was highly nervous at meeting Nessas family..and as the cleaning and sprucing of the chateau went on..she slipped off to the new tavern, or the slave markets, or the docks.
Life at Du'Mont was to say the least. Interesting.
