Nann let her two yongons sleep in a bit longer than she did yesterday morning. Their trip was shorter and less strenuous today so they could leave a bit later. Plus, she had a feeling those two ridiculous children in there were up FAR too late than they should have been last night. Especially with the smirk plastered all over Zaera's face when she got up at her normal time this morning. She was keeping her fingers crossed that sleeping later helped rouse that blonde easier today. The raven-haired Trikru woman boiled the water over the stove and meticulously prepared a tea tray for Heda and Clarke. Subsequently carrying it RIGHT over to Komfoni with a smile and sitting it in front of her.

"May I help you?" Nann smirks not looking up from where she cuts the fruit for breakfast.

"There's no way I am stepping foot in that sex den." Zaera mutters with a sly smirk.

"So, you are making me do it?" Komfoni asks, feigning offense.

"Oh yea! She is WAY less likely to kill you for witnessing that life scaring image." Zaera retorts taking the knife from the elder and taking over cutting the fruit. It has the elder chuckling as she carries up the girl's tea tray for them. She finds Lexa smiling as she looks out the window by their bed at the gorgeous morning view of the forest below. Clarke's still snoring on Lexa's chest with a protective tan arm around her. She hands Lexa her tea with a smirk and turns to ready their clothes for the day. Folding them into neat little stacks on the counter in the bathroom. Next to a brush and leather strips to braid their hair with. The boots, armor, weapons and cloaks she lays out on the couch by the wardrobe. Pulling out their pack, she meticulously goes around repacking their bags. Dirty clothes get put in a separate bag to wash when the pile accumulates enough. The girls not wearing pajamas makes this process a lot easier to be honest. Not having to wait for them to wake to pack them up again. Not to mention she thought this might be the case and only packed one set for each of them. Knowing she'd be lucky if they wore them AT ALL during the trip. She carries the first pack down and gets squawked at by Zaera. The rest she gets instructed to just sit at the top of the stairs for the raven-haired woman to carry down herself. It makes her smile and of course she agrees to make the child happy. Heading back up to rouse the naked children of hers.

"Any luck?" Zaera asks with a smirk when she comes out with another bag for the woman to carry down.

"One out of the two so far. Wanna guess which..." Nann mutters over her shoulder, hearing a cackle behind her.

"Let me know if you want me to heat the fire poker." Zaera teases stomping down the stairs.

"Don't tempt me. You have no idea how close we were to throwing that weird child on the back of Heda's horse still asleep." The elder mutters exasperated as a snort of laughter echoes up the stairs. When Nann walks back in the room she finds Lexa attempting to waft tea under the snoring girl's nose.

"Seriously, this always works for me!" The brunette huffs when hearing Nann come in.

"Mmm... go ahead and get dressed in the bathroom. I have an idea." Komfoni sighs resolutely. Lexa nods and slips out of the bed, earning a whine in protest. It makes the brunette chuckle as she stands to hug Nann good morning. The elder smiles and pats both tan naked cheeks. The green eyes roll as she turns to run up the stairs, leaving Nann chuckling at the image as Lexa goes. With Heda safely in the bathroom out of sight, the elder grins deviously. Turning on her heel, she mixes up a cup for Clarke really quick. Striding to the couch she picks out a short sword and a metal chest plate of Lexa's from the stack. With her back still turned, the elder loudly clashes the two metal objects together. Heda cackles and sticks her head out of the bathroom to watch the blonde fly up in bed screeching hysterically. Hair wild, half an eyelid open and launching a pillow across the room, still shrieking. Lexa can swear she hears Zaera howling in laughter all the way from downstairs somewhere. Nann just sets the object back in the respective places and walks over to the tea on the desk. Picking up the girl's cup and striding over to the bed. "Oh good. You're up." Nann hums casually, hearing a chortle from Heda above her. "Here's your tea," She smiles pulling down one of the arms to place the cup in. Blue eyes still frozen in their crazed alarm along with the rest of her. "Come up to the bathroom to get dressed when you are ready." Nann hums as she strides up the stairs, leaving the child holding the cup with both hands. Repeatedly taking shaky sips. Attempting to pull her heart back down to her chest from where it now resides on the mother-fucking ceiling.
