Down and out, and out of luck, we're spinning but the needle's stuck
Maea had to look both once and twice at Kiada before any recognition sparked. When it did, it was with a faint recollection of preparing for a Fiat Lux festival together - years and years ago.
"A very long time indeed! I almost didn't recognize you," she replied, offering the other woman a warm smile. "I heard from Danta about your promotion - that makes two of us! We'll need to talk once we're done here, if you don't mind. It seems our work might overlap a bit going forward."
Arming herself with the mop and a bucket of soapy water, Maea followed after Kiada in the Study and scoured the floor she swept. The musty air soon filled with a scent of citrus and green herbs from the soap, and she was pleased to see that the work proceeded smoothly enough. The only real hindrance that slowed them down so far was the lack of cleaning supplies.
Looking up when Talyson asked about their citizenship, it took Maea slightly longer to add her "Yes" to Kiada's; feeling rather strange about reclaiming the Grounds as a permanent home after all these years. "Why do you ask?"
Looking around at the rooms and checking how the others were faring, Maea flagged down their attention. "Once we're done with this, the Common Room needs sweeping too, and the fireplace could use a cleaning up. I'll make sure to mop the rest of the floors so that's done with."
Round 2: pick one and proceed!
Sweep the Common Room,
Clean the Fireplace;
Maea will continue to mop the floors.
