[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 7102700, member: 4936"] Amina stays with Akilah, attending to the tasks servants do. She draws the water for the bath, with a little scented oil. She sets the bedclothes out so that the vizier will have them close at hand when she is ready. She turns down the lamps around the outside of the chamber, so that Akilah has only the lamp near the bath and bed to turn down herself to be ready for sleep. It is, she thinks, a rather pleasant way to serve Hakiyah, overall. To consider the needs of another person, rather than the threat of them. In the shadows of the Soft Whisper, it was often easy to forget what the world looked like in the light. Maybe too easy. Would it soften the edge of the sisters to ask them to accept more mundane duties from time to time? Something to think on. "Do you need anything else, Honored?" she asked quietly through the screen while Akilah was still in her bath. [/QUOTE]
