Dim glows

[Skye]

Emberlyn looked around the quiet dining cavern, noting that quite a few of the glow baskets were either dim or completely out. She shifted the pouch on her shoulder, it holding glows to replenish the those that needed it. She smiled to herself and laughed softly, glad that she hadn't been assigned to do laundry with her twin. She loved her sister to death, but she was tiresome at times.

Emberlyn made her way over to the closet dim glows and set the pouch on the table. Of course the basket would have to be too high for her to reach from the floor. She made a face and slid one of the benches closer, carefully stepping onto it. She grabbed two glows from the pouch before standing up straight, the bench wobbling slightly under her. She frowned and stood still for a moment, regaining her balance.

She was supposed to be working with another candidate, but she hadn't wanted to wait for him in the storage room, rather wanting to get the chore down so that she could find something better to do, like maybe try to find a way to get sent back home to her happy chore of being a scribe. She had hoped when she heard of the candidate chore list being put up that she would be assigned to assist with records, but no here she was changing dim glows on a wobbly bench in the quiet dinning cavern. Oh the fun of being a candidate, she though to herself as she reached for the glow basket, her perch a bit more precarious as she reached.

Loana slung her pouch over her shoulder and walked into the dining cavern torward the dim glows. She saw another candidate working at the glows standing on a bench making the glows glow brighter. She assumed that this was one of the candidate that she was supposed to be working with.

"Hello," Loana said, walking over to the dim glow that was next to the other candidate. She reached for the glow just enough to get it brighter.

"I'm Loana," She said, trying to make a confersation," How are you?"

When Emberlyn heard someone speak to her she jumped and her balance was lost as she tumbled backwards, landing hard on her tail end. She yelped and laid there a moment, wincing. She tilted her head and looked up at the girl who had spoken and smiled sheepishly.

She stood carefully and dusted off her sore bottom. "Hello, I'm Emberlyn," she said, holding out her hand. She was struggling with her shyness at the moment, not one to generally approach people, but she was going to be working with this girl in this chore, she might as well push past her shyness.

The girl fell to the floor and yelped, wincing. "Oh! are you all right?" Loana said concerned. She was going to help her up but she got up before Loana was there.

"Hello,I'm Emberlyn,"

Loana shook her offered hand. She smiled at the person she would be working with. She was just a little tiny bit shy, but that was because of her past with other kids. She wondered if Emberlyn was the same. She didn't seem like the type. she looked around.

" I thought there were supposed to be four candidates working on this chore...where are the other two? " Loana asked.

Loana looked down the row of dim glows. she sighed.

Emberlyn smiled softly and shook the other girl's offered hand. She gave a shake of her head at her question and shrugged. "I don't know, I just got here myself before you came in," she said, glancing at all the glows that needed to changed.

She sighed softly and made a face. "I don't want to get scolded for just standing around though. I guess we'll just have to do as much as we can," she said, looking over at Loana with a grin.
