In my brightest reverie I can see her walking next to me
I feel her breath upon my cheek, speaking gentle words to tame the beast

She is a biddable young woman, which Anju can respect. In fact her soldiers would do well to learn a lesson or two from Sohalia. As a reward, Anju begins setting about making the girl's tea immediately, grabbing a cup for herself as well considering her own ambivalence to the decision. Filling the strainers with the loose leaf tea (she is far too picky for the cheaper, bagged options in Stormbreak) and letting them begin to steep, Anju steps out of the kitchen with arms folded habitually behind her back to observe Sohalia's explorations.
"Thank you. I had it customized when I bought it to fit my needs and have never regretted it." The nook especially, which Sohalia also seems to appreciate. "I do, immensely. I enjoy eating while dawn breaks, so it intentionally faces the east." While she is not a voracious reader she usually enjoys the local paper as well, or one of the books on her bookcase.
Glancing back at the tea and estimating it has steeped appropriately, she invites Sohalia to the island with a jut of her chin and takes the vessels out so they may drink. "The taffy has few ingredients and is quickly made; the most difficult part will be stretching and rolling it. Let me know when you are ready to begin."
