xLast night had been a fairly normal one. Actually, Kaleido would argue it was a bit on the better side. Hardly any visions came to her in the night. It may have been one of the most peaceful sleeps she’s had in quite some time. As she woke up, her eyes opened. She couldn't see a thing, but she could feel the warmth of the sun shinning through the window as she laid on her bed beneath her soft warm blankets. Her mind was adjusting to being awake when she heard soft footsteps.
Listening carefully, Kali heard the footsteps come and stop outside her door. She had come accustomed to the near constant footsteps and overall all the sounds of the house. She propped herself up on an elbow and put her head in her hand, turning her ear to the where she was sure the door and the sound was coming from and listened closely. After a short delayed moment of hearing something be set down then another delay than a knock, she was sure she knew who it had been. As she heard the door open and a greeting from Stella came, she smiled to herself at being right.
"And a good morning to you, Stella. And happy tricentennial to you as well!" Kali said back with a small laugh and smile. That smile stayed on her face as she listened to Stella talk. While the younger woman talked, Kali sat up carefully to make sure she was decent. She pulled her straight hair over one shoulder once she was sitting up and Stella finished talking. The thought of just sitting with someone and having tea made Kali smile. Plus she knew it'd be great for the morning. "Tea sounds lovely. That and the fresh air will be just the thing to wake me up," Kali giggled as she stretched her arms over her head then relaxed again. "Be a dear and go get the tea set up while I get dressed?" She then listened as Stella's footsteps left the room before standing up carefully.
The mental map of her room sketched itself in Kali's mind. With each day, it's become more and more easier to remember the layout of her room. If anything, she could be considered an expert at this point. But she still thinks it's important to take a moment and make sure all is in order. To get to the rack and wardrobe where her clothing was housed, she'd need to cross the room and head to the corner. With her fingers reached out slightly to gently brush her finger tips along her furniture, she felt her top bed coverings, soft but slightly rough like it's worn with age. Then she felt her bedside table, definitely not real wood and a roughness in one spot where the previous owner had forgone the use of coasters. Making her way diagonally in the she was sure her clothing was, she reached her hand out just in time to put it against the door of the wardrobe before she had ran into it. She paused a moment here as she gained her baring's. "I must be a bit more tired than I thought," she thought to herself then went about finding herself something to wear.
Stepping slightly to the side to feel the rack where some clothing hanged, Kali felt over each of the fabrics. Some were a bit rough and lacey while others were soft and silky. She settled on one that felt alright to wear for today then took her other hand down it to check the length. With a small smile and a nod, she took the dress off the hanger and got changed. Once dressed, she pulled her long hair back into a pony tail to get it out of the way for the morning. Then it was off to find Stella and the tea.
