CherishHTF: ::she whirls in a fury of red silk, tiny feet barely skimming the floor as she moves::
CherishHTF: ::stepping into the servery, obsidian orbs dance over the shelves joy reflected in her smile.::
CherishHTF: ::places a silver tray onto the counter and gently wipes it with a clean rep cloth::
CherishHTF: ::she places a clay pot and three temwood cups onto the tray and wipes each swiftly.::
CherishHTF: ::next she selects two small saucers, one of red sugar, the other of yellow.::
CherishHTF: ::placing these on the tray along with a silver stirring spoon.::
CherishHTF: ::silken fingertips place a jar of tea onto the tray.::
CherishHTF: ::lastly she places a sprig of venium on the tray for decoration.::
CherishHTF: ::the small bluish flower permiates the air with its sweet scent.::
CherishHTF: ::now grasping the clay pot with slender fingers, she turns to the torvis pit.::
CherishHTF: ::moving swiftly now to the large kettle of simmering water, she lifts the lid and peeks inside to make sure the water is steaming::
CherishHTF: ::setting the lid to the kettle aside, she recovers the cover from the clay pot.::
CherishHTF: ::taking the long handled ladle that is suspended from a peg she pours in just a bit of hot water.::
CherishHTF: ::swirling the water about, she dumps that out.::
CherishHTF: ::then she ladles in more hot water, careful not to spill any.::
CherishHTF: ::rehanging the ladle, she covers the kettle and the pot once again.::
CherishHTF: ::her hips swaying as she moves back to the servery counter.::
CherishHTF: ::placing the pot of water upon the tray she stops for but an ihn before sliding slender fingers 'neath the tray.::
CherishHTF: ::raising the tray, a serene look crosses her delicate features that belies her nerves.::
CherishHTF: ::she crosses the room, gliding lightly on tiny feet, her silks clinging.::
CherishHTF: ::lifting her lashes for but an ihn, the site of the handsome Master causing her heart to skip a beat.::
CherishHTF: ::she sinks to her knees before the Master::
CherishHTF: ::Placing the tray gently on the small low table to the side.::
CherishHTF: ::her hands tremble as she reaches for the jar of tea.::
CherishHTF: ::carefully opening the precious jar, she sets the lid aside.::
CherishHTF: ::now placing three pinches of the tea leaves in each cup.::
CherishHTF: ::replacing the lid, she returns the jar to the tray.::
CherishHTF: ::slender fingers grasp the clay teapot, as she lifts and fills each cup.::
CherishHTF: ::watching carefully as the water dances to the rim.::
