The unexamined life is not worth living
Iskra entered first, met by Elizabeth's warm smile and an accompanying laugh as she saw the bottle of champagne. "That's very thoughtful. Thank you. I think I have some orange juice if we wanted to make some mimosas out of it." Because somehow adding a juice to the alcohol made it acceptable for such early morning consumption - not that she's complaining.
The lick on her hand earned the dog a scratch behind the ears as he passed, a fond smile on her face. "Hi Goose. Good to see you." He was understandably more invested with the food, another light laugh leaving as she watched the two dive in like they might vanish without a moment's notice. "Feel free to eat as much as you like. There's plenty more where that came from." And she was always willing to make more if necessary.
Turning back to the door, she met her next guest with an extra bright smile, her eyes lighting up at the bouquet. "Alys! You're so sweet." Her eyes rarely missed anything, and she quickly saw where the seer's hand drifted, pleasant surprise filling her heart as she knelt low to greet the ursur. "And you must be Sascha. I'm so happy to meet you. You were very missed." Elizabeth's tone was gentle and full of affection, offering a hand forward if the companion wished to greet her in return, although she wouldn't be offended if she chose not to.
Elizabeth rose, looking to the unique group gathered in her small home, full of friends and companions. It made her smile, warm and appreciative. "Thank you all for coming. I've been meaning to get these tasks done but just haven't gotten around to them." Gesturing to the flowers, she asked Alys, "Why don't you go find a vase to put these in while I find glasses for the champagne?" She snagged the bottle as she walked towards the kitchen, already intending to find the juice to go with it.
Glancing to the man of the group, she flashed him a pleading look. "Iskra, I think my firewood pile is getting a little low. Would you mind grabbing more from outside?" The case next to the fireplace indeed looked nearly empty, and the pile outside the door was freshly stocked with dry wood.
Not a problem! <3
