The creak of the rocking chair whines with every motion and the old woman's gaze peers up out of the shadows that cover it. Her smile is bright despite the gaping holes that show how many teeth are missing. "What's goin' on in t'hold? Well now, I kin help ya' there. Let me see." The hand is curved in wrinkles and scratches a hairy mole upon the aged chin. "Jadorin, that journeyman weaver, he and his new wife have asked for a bigger cot. Suppose that's not surprisin' with her children and another on the way. It's not the prettiest and needs some work, but I suppose it will do and one can't be too picky, eh? Oh ye haven't heard?" She leans forward, her eyes dulled with age brightening once more at the topic. "It seems that Lord Zathris is finally getting a taste of his duty. A holder of his came to him complainin' about some vadalism from another nearby cothold." The old woman leans back in the chair which gives rise to another complaint. "Supposedly he sent a letter, so we'll see if that does anything. I suppose that is something a Steward would normally do, but he's yet to choose a new one."
"Speakin' of which, there's one young man who isn't too happy about that open position since he's not in it. I know Shadux has had is eye on that spot for some time. Of course, Headwoman Zelanka thinks he should get married, which I agree. It's high time that man settled down. Too bad that young Mariss went with her father, the two seemed to have hit it off." The old woman's head moves back in forth as if in pity.
"Of course, instead of appointin' a Steward, Lord Zathris is off goin' to that Tavern and he still meets that journeywoman technician...Isily I think is her name. I believe he's even talked about goin' on a trip with her. Mmm...I wonder what Lady Benani thinks of that?" The Auntie's cackle is dry, "Suppose it was only a matter of time before he found a mistress. Tis the way of men isn't it? After all, she must be his mistress for them to be a'meetin' so much, aye?" The woman's tongue clicks twice, then she snorts before she continues, "Ah yes, Lady Benani. She'll be havin' her hands full. Evidently Lord Corowal has sent word that he wishes to discuss fosterin'. Zathris might take one or both of his sons, but who's the one who gets saddled with them and their discipline? Aye, I've a feelin' Lord Zathris won't be doin' much in that regard."
