Léspheria awoke to the first rays of the morning sun rising over the horizon. She opened the small window in her room and closing her eyes she inhaled deeply, taking in the sweet smells of the new day. She then lifted the large Water jug from the dresser and poured the clear crisp water into a floral wash basin.

As she washed she thought of the previous nights events. The innkeeper Aman had not been mad with her for forgetting about her friends key, infact she was relieved to have another room for the many guest that kept arriving. Then there was Eodwine, it had gotten so busy that she had'nt been able to get away, to speak with him as she had promised.

As she searched her trunk for something to wear she remembered the soft sound of a harp filling the common room the night before. She lifted a soft powder blue short sleeved dress and slipped it over her head. She then took a deer bone comb and sitting in front of the mirror she combed the tangles from her soft dark hair, then she tied it in a braid that sat over her right shoulder. She then lifted a silver and blue Butterfly slide that matched her dress and slid it carefully in her hair just above her left ear.

As she returned her comb to the trunk, her hand brushed something cold. She raised her eyebrows as she pulled out a small silver harp, her Eyes then lit up. She raised the harp and sat by the window to play in the new day. As she played she closed her eyes letting the music flow through her.

When she finnished, she smiled pleased with the music that she had just played. she put the harp down and went down stairs to have breakfast. Maybe Eodwine would join her she thought as she walked gracefully down the wooden stairs.

The delightful smells of breakfast whafted through the inn from the kitchen. bacon, eggs, warmed bread and many other delights that Ms Bunce had cooked up for the guests.

Some of the other staff where already sitting at the long wooden table in the kitchen. "Good morning all" she grinned as she lifted a few slices of the warmed bread and put then on the plate that buttercup passed to her, she then lifted the spoon from the jam pot and put a large dollop on the side of her plate, putting a knife on top she turned to get a cup of the fennel tea she could smell brewing on the stove. Vinca poured her a large mug of the brew and pushed it into her hands, Léspheria nodded her thanks, then made her way into the common room.

Léspheria sat down at a vacant table by the bar and lightly spread the jam across the bread, she took a large bite savouring the sweet taste of the jam combined with the warmth of the bread. Hmmmm Vinca is a most talented cook she though as she took another bite and washed it down with a sip of her tea.
