Early evening, and Rayne has had one interesting day. Currently she's sitting near the fountain, and because she couldn't sleep, there's an apple in hand which she is munching on. Likely people have come around to light up lanterns so there is a sort of eerie glow around the Plaza. Surrounded by plants, bowls, a pestel and mortar, and empty vials, she's mashing, tasting, humming, and otherwise doing as an apothecary would. Creating, testing, pondering...because she had new herbs to play with, to see how they worked compared to those of her home lands.
Ottis is still getting used to the lands and the vast streets and alleys as he Enters the plaza. Ottis and Maerwynn have just finished a nice meal and she was tired so turned in but as always Ottis has extra energy and so is out or a evening stroll. As the lanterns are being lit he looks around and see's Rayne and grins as he moves over in her direction. "Seems to be a lot of that going on from the Two Rivers delegation?" he says with a light chuckle.
Rayne glances up and over to Ottis as his familiar voice reaches him. "I'm not sure I know what you mean, Master Ottis..." She would say this much before continuing to mix, taste, add, frown...and yet she would perservere. "How have you fared lately? I feel like I haven't seen you since we left Two Rivers.."
Ottis smiles "Im doing fine, great in fact. " he replies. "Im refering to my wife, Maerwynn she too has been gathering herbs and other things to see how well they work for there medicinal properties. She love spending time with the healers of the Isles. As for the latter, well Its been a while since we last talked, since then I've gotten married and been included in Duke Alajos's party. "
Rayne almost spills the concoction she's working on. Almost. "Married? Like...with a ring and a wife and...wait...your wife is the other healer that was in the delegation. Well then..." She would glance down at what she was working on, and already she felt like maybe it was all for nothing. There would always be someone better. Here Ottis was talking about Dukes and such... "I'm only good enough to piss off Princes..." Muttering the last under her breath.
Ottis moves up when he see' that what your working on is about to fall to the ground. "Easy there. Yes married with the ring and everything. " he says with a gentle smile. "Im sure you both have a lot in common and are both skilled in your craft so that perhaps you two can work together sometimes. I mean this is supposed to be a learning experience for us all after all is it not. Heck I was asked to help his grace find out if the ore here is any good but as of yet I've not seen him or been asked to explore any mines. I kinda feel useless. "
"Maybe His Grace hasn't found the time to meet with you. Theres like...events and stuff...going on soon. Right? Unless you mean someone else, like from our lands." Rayne was a little confused by it all. "So I'm supposed to be going to these tournaments and such. I promised Slider, and I promised Sir Baldwin. I wondered if you were going to be participating, or perhaps just watching?" She would ask while glancing up to him, pouring one of the salves into a vial to test on later. "Also, if she's up to sharing, I don't mind it either. We might even find out things together we didn't know seprately."
Ottis smiles . "Im sure his grace is indeed busy with the upcomming events. "he shakes his head. "I am not competeing, as while I know enough about blades to know which end is the dangerous one I am not as skilled as those entering. I may go and watch, but not compete. "he grins. "Well Im sure that both sir Baldwin and Master slider will enjoy the fact you'll be there to cheer them on. " he is pleased that you think such on sharing information with his wife . "I bet she'd love that as between the two of you I bet you can come up with better ways to help the sick and injured."
Rayne ah's and nods her head, beginning to put things away. "Well, at least you know which end of the sword to hold..." A chuckle then as she shakes her head some. "I think that might bode to be a problem here soon. Slider and Baldwin. A part of me wonders if they both have taken a liking to me. Slider I can kinda understand, but how I ever caught the attention of a knight..." She would shrug then, looking back down at her items while putting them up. "Then again, could just be a fleeting thought...or some such...hopeless romanticism maybe. Still, doesn't mean I can't be a friend and cheer him on right?"
Ottis grins and smiles as he listens and nods. "of course it means you can still be friends no matter what the outcome as for their interest why your lovely woman It's not hard to see why they'd be interested in ya. " he looks around and sighs a bit. "though sadly I think I'd best get back to Maerwynn as its geting late. Sleep seems to be calling my name, I do hope to see you later at the events. so that we can all cheer for those we wish to succeed."
Rayne nods a little, standing after getting everything in her satchel. "Aye, the hour does grow long. Perhaps sleep is best for the both of us." A smile offered then. "I with you and your wife many happy years Ottis. I also hope to see you soon at the upcoming events. Rest well, my friend." A smile as she shifts and heads for the Inn herself.
