A Simpler Life
While the rest of the family were sitting outside around a fire, enjoying the warmth over a drink and good company, Kaalia was busy making sure Gideon and Azarin got to bed. The former especially had never been one to easily comply, a trait he shared with the twins, though Azarin was the opposite. Some nights she even turned in for the night before her bedtime. Out of the four, Azarin was most certainly the easiest to handle. The twins would be going to sleep later and until then they were allowed to sit outside with their uncles and aunts, and their mom.
After finally getting the youngest of the four in bed, Kaalia made her way back downstairs and into the living area. Walking over to the glass pane door, she slipped into her comfortable pair of shoes and slid the door open to step outside and rejoin the crowd a little bit further down the estate. Something told her that would have to wait, however, as she saw Aradia walk towards her. Judging from where she came from, she had not been with the others. When she walked closer, she could also see that her daughter had tried at least a bit of the wine.
"Oh, hey," Kaalia said in greeting. She held the door open, half-expecting her to want to head inside. "Everything okay? I figured you'd slipped out after a while."
