Oiling Hinges

(vigdis)~Karinna ¶3PG¶
:large thassa eyes blink slowly, the song of finches through the open window tease the delicate shell of vigs ear calling her to wake and start the day. back arches from the soft matress of the bed and sighing she moves aside the warm furs.
(vigdis)~Karinna ¶3PG¶
:taking up a leather thong from under the pillow, quickly finger combing long tresses she pulls sunset gold into a leash licking down her pale back to the soft rise of her tushie
(vigdis)~Karinna ¶3PG¶
:full hips swaying as small feet carry her across the chilled, tiled floor she takes up a simple brown tunic from the chest tieing it low at the hip. satisfied that she does not look a fright she heads to the bath to wash the sleep from her face.
(vigdis)~Karinna ¶3PG¶
:taking in handfulls of the fresh water she rinses her mouth and with a giggle turns out of the kennel and pads to the store room a soft smile on pink lips
(vigdis)~Karinna ¶3PG¶
: 'gonna oil hinges, gonna greese em up good' the song softly lilts from her as she takes up the clay container of rendered kailiauk fat and a stiff pair of sheeps bladder gloves from the shelf in the storage closet.
(vigdis)~Karinna ¶3PG¶
:wrinkling golden brow as she eyes the gloves. with deft movement she takes up the metal container with the long spout for the tharlarian oil and pours a bit onto the gloves working them swiftly with nimble fingers to loosen them
(vigdis)~Karinna ¶3PG¶
:pulling the gloves on after setting the tharlarion oil back on the shelf she busies herself to the task at hand, turning and gulping realizing the tall doors to the Home need to be oiled as well.
(vigdis)~Karinna ¶3PG¶
:pulling and struggling with well muscled arms the heavy chair relents its place beside the wall and with loud scrapping sounds is placed by the enormous door to the Home
(vigdis)~Karinna ¶3PG¶
:lith as a larl vig climbs atop the chair small feet resting on the curved arms, freckled knees resting against the door she reaches stretching her long frame as far as it will go and barely has the topmost hinge within fingertips touch
(vigdis)~Karinna ¶3PG¶
:working swiftly and praying under her breath the whole time that no One come by to startle her she greases up the top most hinge breathing a sigh of relief that none saw her she continues to the ones closer in reach.
(vigdis)~Karinna ¶3PG¶
:pushing the chair back to its place she blows the fringe of hair from her forehead and wanders down the hall, the soft light of the candles and various oil lamps leading the way to each door.
(vigdis)~Karinna ¶3PG¶
:nimble fingers work the rendered fat along each metal seam, the hinge gleaming under her careful touch. opening each door slightly working the fat further along the metal before once again shutting it with care.
(vigdis)~Karinna ¶3PG¶
:humming softly as small feet carry her through out the Home in a large circle around twisty halls each set of hinges receiving a bit of greese each door being checked.
(vigdis)~Karinna ¶3PG¶
:pausing to roll freckled shoulders back vig realizes she is back at the storage closet, the task done her heart light knowing that All will be pleased to not having to tug on doors so strongly now.
(vigdis)~Karinna ¶3PG¶
:wiping excess fat from gloves with soft clean rep she sets all back carefully on the shelf and turning with a lilt to her step she wanders down to the kitchen to see what more she can do for her home
