The Jasmine Sphinx
Evening
Sanura locks the door to the Jasmine Sphinx. Her hands gently tug on the chain and lock, the metal ringing and a small click letting her know that the lock was sound. She walked towards the shelves, double checking everything was where it should be. Her eyes flickered, reading each label carefully before setting things into sections. The glass jars were dim in the light of her shop, the oil lamps providing a rather comforting feel. Tea, spices, herbs, medicines, balms, ect. She knew where everything went, as this was what she had done for the past 7 years.
"Aysu, what on earth...?"
Sanura turned and picked up the basket, the kitten sneezing as a stock of lavender fell limp over his head. Her laugh rang softly, scooping her familiar out of the basket with a gentle hand. Aysu mewed as he was set inside the small pouch on her hip. It was perfectly made to hold the young cat, as well as a few other things. Sanura smiled and scratched the underside of his chin, earning a purr and the wiggling of cat ears.
"You're hungry, aren't you?"
An enthusiastic cry was her responce.
She laughed, "Alright, mercy!" She finished up the organization of her things, swept the floor, and put out the oil lamps. Going to the back door, she walked up the first two steps and then closed the door behind her. She walked up a few steps to her kitchen. Sanura set Aysu on the wooden floor, pulling out salted chicken and the mixture she had made for her familiar. Pulling out two bowls, she set the mixture into a bowl and water in the other. Setting them on the floor, it wasn't long until Aysu padded along and helped himself. Sanura placed the chicken over the cooked rice she had prepared this morning and stored. Placing a few spices and a light sauce over it, she would sit at the window and eat. The Summerhome Inn could be heard, faint music and laughter carried by the wind. Another bite into her food, Sanura looked at the stars. Aysu jumped into her lap, earning himself a few pets behind his ears.
"What do you think, Aysu? Think it'd be safe to do a bit of brewing?"
