35th Ashan, 718
Faith loved it here, in the Scholars' Nook. Surrounded by books, by people she liked and respected and a good selection of tea. All in all, Faith felt very at home here. She'd just met with one of her students and the young woman had left a few moments before. It was a common occurrence, meeting with students and Faith very much felt for this one. She was bright, able and keen, but her personal life was up the creek and it was impacting her marks. They'd worked out what she needed to do and a plan for how she might do it. As she'd left, Faith had sent a prayer to Famula, Vri and Moseke and the young girl managed it, because being a medic was in her very soul. Still, there was only so much that she could do in terms of that, only so much help that she could give and she had given as much as possible without doing the work for her.
Having finished the meeting, she was sitting and drinking her her tea. Although both her hands were free, wrapped snugly around her were straps of cloth in a criss-cross. On each side was cradled a small baby, not yet three months of age and both of them fast asleep. While she sipped tea and paid some attention to a book open in front of her, by far and away the majority of her focus was on the babies. Though they were asleep, she fussed over their blankets, clothes, them.
The young woman was a professor, a healer, a medic and council member. Yet, when she looked at these two small beings, there was no doubting that, more than anything, she was a mother. Her expression was one of pure adoration as she looked at her children. Yet, she had work to do and she should be reading, so she turned back to the book. As she did, she caught sight of a familiar face. Faith looked at Rynata as the young woman she'd met in the Order during a particularly tricky shift and she had proven herself to be an inordinately useful and level headed individual. "Hello!" Faith said, smiling at the delivery person-turned-medic walked towards her table. "How are you? Would you like to join me? I'm just about to get another cup. And maybe some cake." Cake, she thought. She could do cake. If Rynata wished to join her, that was. "Unless you're meeting someone or would rather sit alone? Both of which are fine." Faith wasn't precious about such things, so she was happy one way or another.
