*As was one of Ann Marie's daily duties was to clean out the rooms of those that had just become empty again.*
*First she would clean out the fire place if it had indeed been used at all and put new wood into it but not lighting it, before opening the window to let some fresh air in. She never asked what the customers got up to while in the rooms as it was none of her business as long as they followed the rules but some times the smell left in the room did make her wonder.*
*Her next task was changing the bed linen and cleaning down the surfaces of the cupboards in the room before sweeping the floor, getting rid of any dried mud and dust.*
*Her last task before closing the window and leaving the room was to search the room for anything that had been left behind. This involved looking under the pillow, mattress and in the drawers. Today proved to be the same as most days as she pulled the slightly dulled dagger from the drawer as she shook her head from side to side.*
No one ever leaves anything interesting! Why can't one leave a bow or a bundle of arrows? Rather than a couple of gold, silver or copper pieces, or a dagger or shorts sword and a variety of other types of swords.
*She gently held the dagger looking at it closely.*
Even a quarter staff would be some what more interesting than this.
*She mused quietly as she closed the door and locked it before walking down stairs into a small room that was really no larger than a walk in wardrobe. The dim light showed little of what was in the room but she could see some dim reflections of the various items that had been placed in this room. All objects that had been found left in the rooms over the last wee while. Shaking her head slightly she decided it was time to give this room a clear out and sell or throw away what was in there.*

*It was not for a few hours that Ann-Marie reappeared stepping out of the small room waving a hand in front of her face, blinking away dust in her eye lashes.*
Well at least that is sorted now.
*She mumbled quietly under her breath, giving a last look behind her into the now tidied room, her eyes focusing on two boxes on a shelf filled with various items. From books, to swords, to even small frames and teddies or toys. The next task was for her to go and get rid of the items at the stalls in the market.*

*As Ann-Marie, was locking the door the chamber maind Jane "Raggie" Ragnell caem round the corner her arms full of dusty bed sheets she was going to wash and hang out to dry.*
*Ann-Marie's back was to Raggie and Raggie couldn't see to well beacuse of all the bedsheets. Just then Ann-Marie stepped back from the room right into the path of Raggie,*
*OOUUF*
*The two colided dust and bedsheets whent every were and Raggie and Ann-Marie were caught up in the jumble.*
"Ohh Sorry Ann. I didn't see you."
*Raggie appolagised to her co-worker.*

*Ann-Marie slowly shakes her head from side to side for moment before looking around the hall way at the mess of bed linen now scattered along it.*
There's no need to apologize Raggie, it was a accident., let's just get this mess cleaned up before Dal appears and we get our daily lecture about being "troublesome wenches" shall we?

*Raggie smiled and giggiled this was a habit of hers she had a tendecey to giggle even when what was said wasn't realy funny*
"Ok Ann you take the ones on the left I'll tae the ones on the right."
*Ann-Marie noticed that, as normal, Raggie was living up to her nick-name. Her dress which Ann knew for a fact was the right size for Raggie, as she herself has bought it for her on her last birthday, seemed ill fitting and almost lopsided. Her hair was all tussled even worse now following the bump, she had some smudges of dirt on her face from cleaning and her shoes were all scuffed.*

*She smiled and shook her head slightly at the sight. Raggie was a good woman though how she managed to always be so well raggie no one ever understood. She started to pick up the linen.*
Well at least these were dirty linen rather than clean ones or Dal and most o the customers would be complaining to us both.
*After picking up the last sheet on ehr side she turned and started to walk towards the small wash room to drop the linen to be washed.*
I will have to take you shopping at some point Raggie,see if we can get you a new dress to wear.

*Raggie picked up the last linen on her side and also walk after Ann to the wash room. At Ann's comment about gettinga new dress she stopped looked blankly at Ann and then down at the dress whe was wearing.*
"Why??"
*She asked.*
"Is there something wrong with this one??"

[OOC: Crossing over from Looking for something.] *Callimpsest rushes past, taking his curious net to his room. He recognises one of the chambermaids, and offers a quick greeting on his way by. Zeytan. He knows that name. But from where? He tries to remember.* [OOC: I hope that this thread won't be left for too much longer. After all, it does involve one of the Mods of this section of the forum. Callimpsest continues into this thread.]

(Sorry been awfully busy planning things for the next couple of months and not been as focused on this forum as I should be though hopefully now things will start calming down here and I will be able to focus more from now on.)
*Ann-Marie shook her head slightly at Raggieand smiled faintly though with some genuine affection.*
Well there is nothing wrong with it, no but I think it would be nice to take you shopping and get you a few new things besides you know how old bear can be about appearances at times.
*She nods her head slightly in greeting as the person passes before turning her attention back to Raggie.*
Besides the girls are getting together at Seline's house to celebrate her and Thomas engagement an Seline says we have to dress up for it and that includes you.
*She looks down at her simple trousers and covering loose top. then smiles.*
If I have to suffer dressing prettily then you can suffer along with me.
*She sticks her tongue out playfully before pushing the down of the washing room open with her foot and walking in.*

*Raggie giggles again.*
"Hehehe you always dress pretty Anne, you certainly caught the eye of that travaling warrior with the gloves. Wren his name was wasn't it."
*giggled again.*
"You have more luck then me with catching guys eyes."

((Ooops Sorry I missed this one.))
*She briefly looks down at the floor blushing slightly before shaking her head towards Raggie.*
Catching attention may be one thing Raggie but still got to learn how to keep such as that man seems to have disappeared though his room is still paid for and kept empty should he return again, though I doubt he will.
*She dumps the laundry into a empty, large wooden tub with a sigh and shake of her head.*
Though at least there is plenty to do around here to keep one distracted.
Even if I could think of something certainly more pleasing and entertaining to be doing.

*Raggie giggled and blushed slightly.*
"Ann-Marie!!!"
*she chided playfully*
"Shame on you. But I know what you meen and to be honnest I wouldn't protest to a quick tussle under the sheets with that other new arrival you know the one in the staff quaters, Leytan."

*She laughs quietly then shakes her head before turning around and heading to wards the door to go upstairs sticking her tongue out a moment to Raggie.*
I was actually referring to a good hunt in the woods, or herb picking, or riding a good horse or numerous other things that can be done, so it seems you are the one that should be shamed.
*She ran out of the door with a laugh before anything could be thrown in her direction.*

*Ann-Marie laughed as she ran through the corridors and then up stairs instantly opening the door that lead into the back of the bar. Pausing a moment as she heard the bustle of the crowd in the room though hearing the quick foot steps of Raggie catching up with her she stepped through into the bar trying to clean herself up as much as possible and get the dust off her hair and clothing. A obvious mischevious smile on her face and glint in her eyes as she waits around a corner just out of view of the customers, waiting for Raggie to run passed and scare her.*
