[Aynia]

Aynia heard the loud voice of Carrot outside the door poking fun at the merchants and a smile immediately broke out on her face. She scrambled to sit up and stand as he entered, kneeling with a flourish and announcing his arrival. She put out a hand and ruffled his hair before laughing and motioning for him to stand.

"I sent you here to oversee a few squabbles. I didn't expect a war to break out. Though if Chail were ever in capable hands, they'd be yours, my dear." She sat back down on the couch and patted the seat beside her. "I see you've brought me work to do already," she said, nodding to the papers in his hands. "Tell me what's been happening and we'll sort through these."
