I woke early today. I wanted to make sure I was setting the best example I could. It has been some time since I had someone to teach, even though Takara needs little teaching. I went to wake her a little early but, to my surprise, she was already awake. She did seem very eager and wanted to split the work. I could not allow that.
She brought her Metia with her. I do enjoy the music it plays. There is one about puppets that I find quite enjoyable. The combination of fast music and aggressive singing, something music here does not have, is almost refreshing.
We were working in the gardens, at one point, when Takara said hello to Emilia. She called her 'Lia'! The only other I know to call Emilia that is Puck! They have only known each other for a very short time but it is obvious they are friends. This is a good thing for Emilia. We all at the mansion speak to her with the utmost respect, given her status, but Takara talks to her like she is anyone. She does not even seem to care about Emilia being a half-elf! If there was any more proof needed that Takara was a stranger to Lugnica, there it is.
Takara does need some tutoring on garden work. She is so bad at it that I had to suppress laughter! She carries on like nothing has happened, to her credit, and even with bleeding hands will keep pruning and weeding.
I have noticed some of the other staff have become a little lax, of late. I shall be correcting this in due time. There is also a discrepancy in the amount of cheese we have stocked.
I believe I shall be having another talk with Puck about this.
Feedback, criticisms and suggestions welcome, as always. See y'all next time.
