"Wait, what'd you say?" Amberosia asked.

"Earth realm, have you been there?' Trinity asked turning to her and taking a sip of the delicious brew. It was better than the tea in galderia by a long shot.

"I've heard of it, never been there. Is it nice?' Ralvania said to her.

"Yes, but it's nothing compared to this place." 

'If you need help settling in, don' hesitate to ask," Amberosia told her as Ralvania nodded in agreement, filling all three mugs back up. 

"I'll keep that in mind." 

"It'll be a few minutes, pot's empty." Ralvania told them, and summoned her hob-goblin. 

She looked to the witch of balance. She seemed a good fit for them. Something about her just made the empress smile. Besides, it was nice to see the cottage get some use after sitting empty for what was it- fifteen years now? Her thoughts were then disturbed with the entrance of Sage. Trinity stared at him as if he were medusa.

"New client?" He asked.

"No she's renting the cottage to the west of us," Amberosia told him.

"Miss, are you alright?" He inquired.

She slowly nodded yes like an exhausted zombie- hybrid.

"What's the matter?' Amberosia asked with concern. 

"I've never seen any kind of goblin before." 

"Well now you have. I don't bite." He said setting the coffee pot down. Then he thought about it a second. "How is it you've never met a goblin before?" 

"I'm originally from the realm of earth." 

"How in the goblin king's jewels did you get here then?' He asked.

"I had some help using the portal. I was in Galderia, but just moved here." 

"Aye, I think you will like it here." 

"Sage would you like to sit and have a cup with us?" Ralvania offered.

"A cup with the boss?" He said, eyes lit up.

"Sit, I'll pour you one." 

Ralvania could tell this had made his day.  The four of them sat together having coffee. after two cups, Sage got back to work. Then Trinity stayed another hour before needing to get back to her cottage.
