Home to Kesi Mandisa.
She has filled it with things from her home in Great Moraq, such as sweet smelling spices and bright coloured silks. She even has a few much used herbs that she grows on the windowsills for when they are needed.

Adara Dondarrion knocked on Kesi's door. As was her habit, her dress was light, low cut and flimsy.

Kesi called in Qartheen that the guest could enter. As was her custom in her rooms she was dressed in her native fashion of a silk gown with one breast bared.
She was tending to her window garden as she sang a quiet song.

Adara smiled nervously at Kesi. She did not get nervous often except in the presence of the king and his sharp-tongued mother but today was one other occasion in which she was worried. Her eyes widened when she saw that Kesi was dressed in such a strange fashion.
"Oh!" She said. "I like your dress. I never saw one like that before. Could I borrow it, one day? It would be...oh...so amusing to shock all the court by going about with a bare breast!"

Kesi gazed at the girl for a long time with a raised eyebrow.
"No." She answered the question bluntly. "Is home."
She had only met this girl on few occasions, so didnt really know her.

Adara scowled. "Fine. I will ask my seamstress to make one like it. My breasts are nicer than yours, anyway." While that might be debatable depending on who was assessing them, Adara's breasts were certainly bigger, as Kesi could see. "But, oh. You are the court sorceress. I know. Someone told me you do healing potions too. Could you....could you help me? Please? I am too frightened to go to the Grand Maester or Princess Laena. Because Grandmother said she'd beat me if I went to her again. And the Grand Maester is her friend so he'd probably tell on me. And I drank all my moon tea. Oh please say you will help me!" She threw herself at Kesi.

Kesi gave a kind of yelp and moved out of the way of the girl.
"Help you?" She questioned with a frown and continued with her broken common tongue. "Why help? Moon tea... it no heal. Is poison."

"No. No. I need it!" Tears rolled down Adara's face. She'd always been good at turning on the tears, "Please! I don't want another baby. I want to have fun. Please give me some. Else I will have to steal it and then I will get into trouble."

"No tears." Kesi said. "I do not kill a baby. Trouble for you may be good I am thinking."

Adara fell to her knees sobbing. "I already have three children. I don't need another. Please help me. I just...I just want to have fun."

Kesi turned away from her.
"In my home tears are for civilised. Here tears are for what?" She asked, sitting at her little table and crossing her long legs. "Children are blessing, why is chance of new one so bad?"

"Because I will get all fat and have to go to the privy all the time and I won't be able to have fun."
Adara was kneeling on the floor. She pulled at Kesi's dress.
"Please, I don't know what I shall do if you won't help. And Grandmother will beat me!"

Kesi pulled her dress out of reach with a small frown.
"Not fat." She said. "Baby is beauty. Maybe I think you need to be beaten. Maybe a lesson will be learnt."

Adara glared at Kesi as she got to her feet. "I'm going to tell the king how horrid you are! Then he will have you flogged in the town square."

Kesi gave Adara a small mocking smile.
"I think not." She said. "I am thinking that maybe your grandmother would like to know this conversation. Maybe she will pity your tears?"
She paused and had a sip from a glass of water.
"Maybe the King will agree to you being flogged? Maybe that be your lesson."

"No." Adara screamed and stamped hard on Kesi's foot. "You are horrid. I hate you! If you tell Grandmother or the kill I will make them kill you. I will send Prince Aemon to cut off your head!"

Kesi gave a noise of pain when her foot was stamped on and twitched.
"You should leave now." She said evenly and in a dangerously soft voice. "Before you say something that you cannot take back, though you wish you could."

Adara screamed curses at Kesi in the most unladylike manner before she stormed out of the room in tears.

Daenya had always been a little scared of the sorceress but she decided to overcome her fears and see what the woman was like. Wearing a pretty black and red dress she knocked on her door.

"Ah!" Daenya called out, turning about quickly. "Oh, you scared me..."
She quickly looked away, not wanting to see the woman's exposed breast. She didn't know why any fashion would have to portrayed to blatantly to everyone around, but then foreign cultures were strange.

"I am sorry." Kesi said, not sounding very sorry. "Is there something that you are wanting?"

"I just wanted to..." Daenya began, though she knew it would be strange to tell the woman why she was here.
"Well... I am sure you have heard of my... the thing that happens to me..."

Kesi shook her head.
"Why do you not come in and tell me about it." She suggested.

Daenya nodded and followed the sorceress inside with a nod.
"Well... there is another Daenya inside me that comes out..." She said, sitting down. "I don't like her."
