The woman nodded and grimaced as her hands became covered with jelly. At least she wasn't wearing gloves, else they' d have been ruined. Then again, she couldn't exactly afford such a luxury. Cateline shook her head at the thought and turned to let her eyes follow the other woman curiously. There were questions she'd failed to ask during their acquaintance which perhaps might finally cross her lips. "Riva, how did you come to be?" She knew the other woman was one of the first of her kind.
Because of that she lived long, longer them anyone else Cateline had ever met. Despite that, or maybe because, Riva was one of the most tolerant and accepting people she knew. It was truly strange to think that perhaps in her day the other woman might have known some of her ancestors, maybe even been friends them. That made a little laugh escape her. More questions popped into her mind, though they were all probably far too personal to ask. Especially out on the cobbled streets.
Speaking of streets, her shop's front was finally clean once more. With a smooth motion Cateline whipped off the crumbs and jelly onto her dark skirts with a sigh then moved to pull the door open. She waved the other woman inside with a small smile. Even if she knew Riva didn't eat these things, she still liked having her opinion on how things smelled and looked.
