The peace that formerly reigned in Terra Nova has eroded, now little more than a memory. War ravages the continent. Disputes divide kingdoms; ideals divide families. The quest for power consumes absolutely and indiscriminately. None are immune to its allure.
Who will rise and who will fall? Only time—and ambition—will tell.

Ikisina was indeed getting into the wing of her job and she was slowly growing confident in her ability that she can do this. She know she will face chelleges due to her class and the fact that she was a collard collard. However, if she want to prove that she can help Lorendale then she need to be able to prove that she can face them despite the problems she might face.
She took some time to learn basics and she been watching Florina Bellerose closely, making certain that she was able to remind calm and collective and reminds neutral in situation. If she was ever uncertain to how she is handle a situation then she would ask Florina to ask her, she even started to ask Scout Kane if she is not busy. She know she isn't perfect, she wasn't born into this lifestyle.
Sina had to collect some paper work that was asked of her to collect and of course she was more then happy to help to and she was walking the direction that she needed to go.

It wasn’t often that Embry was making visits to the castle, though she might have made the offer to take some documents there herself instead of her father. Mostly, so she could have a reason to not be so cooped up at her family’s estate. But also, because she would be making a trip into town to retrieve a few items before she began tutoring music. And, she secretly hoped to possibly run into Scout Kane, as the pair seemed to click well at the sale recently hosted at her family’s estate for the dogs.
Speaking of, Embry’s eyes landed on a lovely, dark haired woman who she could have sworn she’d seen there that day. Though, she had been surprised to see the woman had left with one of their more highly priced pups. But, when her father took a keen interest in doing business, the man didn’t settle for less than what he wanted. And since she left with the pup, she assumed the woman was more than capable of affording the animal. Still, she couldn’t help but smile as she approached to woman.
“Hello!” Embry’s voice greeted with a gentleness that conveyed her upbringing. “I hope you don’t think me rude, I just recognized you from the sale at my family’s estate a while back. How is your pup doing?” She couldn’t help it, she was always eager to know how the pups were settling and adjusting to their new homes and families.

When she noticed a woman approached her when she said that she recognised her from the dog sale at her family estate. So she most be a Montgomery, she most be Lord October's sister. It does remind her that she want to visit again as the puppy was being trained at the estate by October Montgomery father.
Ikisina smiled as she gave a curtsy at the lady. "It is lovely to see you Lady Montgomery. She is doing well, she is growing big and strong, I do need to visit your father soon as we did arrange to have some training for her." She smiled. "How are you?" She smiled at the lady who seemed like she only a couple of years older then her, plus a couple of inches taller then her.

Embry returned the smile, dipping her head. "Oh, please; I’m Embry. It's always a pleasure to encounter someone who's purchased one of our pups." Especially when the new owners seemed the sort to ensure the animal was well cared for.
She listened intently as Ikisina spoke of her dog, her smile widening with genuine pleasure. "I'm so glad to hear she's doing well. Our father does take pride in training them, and I'm sure he'd be thrilled to see how she's grown." Of course Rutger handled the majority of overseeing the training, especially with the pups he’d taken a keen interest in. Well, the pup, or their owner. But that was none of her business.
Embry glanced up, with a soft smile. "I'm doing quite well, thank you. How have you been?"

When Embry explained that she would prefer to be called by her first name, a part of her wanted to explain that she felt more comfortable calling her by her proper title. Show her respect. There was still a warm smile on her face. "Embry is a lovely name. My name is Miss Ikisina Navarro. You can call me Sina if you want."
hearing that she happy to hear about the puppy she brought, with regards to her father Sina could picture that he will be happy in so many ways. "She has indeed grown, still calm and loves lots of cuddles. Such a lovely temperament, but she loves going to training it give her time to run around a big garden and interact with her siblings, see her parents again."
"I am happy to hear that you are doing well. I am doing well."

It would likely come as a shock to those who don’t know her just how much Embry loathed titles and formalities. But one couldn’t choose their parents, and being born into a titled family did mean she was expected to behave a certain way. Still, when she could find ways to drop the formalities of titles; she did try her best to make it happen. She smiled when Ikisina gave her name in return, and even offered a more familiar nickname to use. “Oh, thank-you, Sina.” She offered a smile to the woman as she listened to her speak of her puppy.
There was always such a feeling of joy and satisfaction that came from hearing how well a puppy was settling in with their new family, and even more so to know they were being properly trained. Though she didn’t assist in the training herself, Embry had been known to observe on occasions. “It brings my heart such joy to hear that!” She couldn’t help but smile with a gentle nod. Sina seemed genuinely enthusiastic and happy with how her pup was doing, and that made her quite pleased.
“Wonderful.” Embry said with a smile, gently smoothing the front of her dress as she raised a brow. “Oh, I do seem to be a bit lost, can you help me find my way to the library?” She offered an apologetic smile and added “If you are not too busy, that is.”

Sina adored the company of her dog; it provided her with great comfort, and she would have been completely alone at home without her new puppy. "I would love to hang out with you sometime when I come round for training. You can see how well the little one is doing, and I'm sure she would love to see you," she stated with a confident smile.
When Embry asked if she could show her where the library was, she replied, "I am happy to show you the way. It's like a maze in here; I've had to ask for directions several times in my first couple of weeks working here," it felt like she was laughing with ease. It was as if she were chatting with an old friend.

Embry smiled warmly at Sina’s enthusiasm. "I would love that. I’ve always had a soft spot for the dogs, and it sounds like your puppy is quite the charmer. It'll be great to see how she's coming along in her training." She quite enjoyed the idea of getting to make herself better acquainted with Sina.
As they started walking, Embry felt a sense of ease with Sina’s friendly demeanor. Of course some people -like her mother- insisted Embry was much too friendly with everyone, but that was just how she preferred to be. And she wouldn’t be made to be apologetic for it. "Thanks for guiding me to the library. It does seem like a bit of a labyrinth here. I’ve been turned around more than once already." She chuckled, feeling a sense of camaraderie with Sina. "It’s reassuring to know I’m not the only one who got lost here. Lead the way!"

Sina loves the idea that she might have a chance to interact with Embry when she goes around her house, she seems to be a really cool, down-to-earth person and they are getting along. Of course she still want to be careful about opening herself up too much because last time she let somebody in their let her down. However, she has to carry on.
"No problem Embry, are you wanting the library for any reason, or just for a read?" She asked. "I only been here a couple of months so of course there are areas that i will get lost at, but there are three main places, offices, library and kitchen. I visit the kitch mostly to see if they can give me any tips for nice meals." Espically if they are affordable.

Embry appreciated Sina's cautious openness, sensing a kindred spirit in her. "A bit of both, actually. I’ve always loved reading, and I also need to find some more music books… I’ve recently started tutoring in music and am always looking to expand my musical repertoire." She smiled softly as she continued. ”Libraries have often been enjoyed as a sort of sanctuary for me.”
She smiled at Sina’s mention of the kitchen. "I must admit, cooking isn’t really my forte. I’ve always had someone to handle that for me. But I do admire people who can whip up something delicious and affordable. Perhaps you can share some of your newfound tips with me sometime. I’m always eager to learn new things." cooking certainly wasn’t a skill Embry could boast of, but she wasn’t against being taught something new.

Ikisina smiled, "You teach music? I always admire people who have a gift for music. I often hear people playing while walking home." Sina smiled softly when Embry explained that libraries are like a safe space. "Same, there are times when i feel like i am out of place, or anxious and I go to the library."
Embry feels like a friend Sina always needed from childhood, she feels like she was her missing piece. If she wasn't in the castle working they might of never mat and she is grateful that they are at least mat.
Sina smiled widen. "I would love to show you some recipes that I've learnt over the years. I've cooked for myself since I was eighteen, nothing fancy. There this meal that during heims i love making however called coconut chicken soup. i was told how to make it for four people so i adjusted it for one person so it be easy to adjust it."

Embry’s eyes lit up with genuine interest. "Yes, I do teach music. It's always been a passion of mine, and it's wonderful to share that with others. There’s something magical about how music can connect people, even strangers."
She felt a deep sense of connection with Sina as she spoke about the library. "I completely understand that. Libraries have always been a refuge for me, a place where I can escape and find solace."
Embry smiled warmly at Sina’s offer. "That sounds delightful. Coconut chicken soup, you say? It sounds delicious. I'd love to learn how you make it. Even though I don't cook often, it would be wonderful to try something new and special like that. Thank you, Sina. I’m really glad we’ve had this chance to run into one another and chat."

Sinasmiled listened intently as embry spoke about her job. She would love to learn music. "You so right, it magical, stressed, sad, happy music is just wonderful. I love how it opens you up." she love singing however she would never sing in front of anyone apart from her dog.
she turned the corner as they walked listening to her talk. "Cocunut chicken soup was my favourite meal growing up especially with things getting cooler, it warms me up. when you are free you can come round mine. I can send you my address." Sina eyes smiled at embry when she is happy that she turned into me. "I am happy to run into you, I feel like i known you for a while which is odd thing to say."
Post by Embry Montgomery on Jul 2, 2024 17:07:00 GMT -5
Embry’s heart warmed at Sina’s words. "I completely agree. Music has a way of tapping into our deepest emotions and bringing them to the surface. It’s wonderful. Music is meant to be enjoyed by those who appreciate it most." She also sang, though not typically as publicly as she played music.
As they turned the corner, Embry felt a growing sense of camaraderie. "Coconut chicken soup sounds perfect for this time of year. I’d love to visit and learn how to make it from you."
She smiled back at Sina, feeling the same inexplicable connection. "I feel the same way. I feel quite a kinship with you, and I am really glad we crossed paths today."
