Not at all. Ianthe has left a skeleton minding outside of my house, but that is all.

Oh, and the goat. It will want food. Ignore it.

I'm well-acquainted with Ianthe's skeletal servants. Has she got it doing chores for you yet?

Not as yet, I am afraid they would not quite do it all properly to my liking.

I didn't realize chores had to be that specific.

That is because I suspect Ianthe never had a nursemaid that wrapped her knuckles for missing the corners tidying.

Or two five siblings always in need of neatening before said nurse-maid caught them.

Or tasked with seeing to the chores herself when they were deemed beneath others?

[ oh, when it comes to childhood labor, yennefer has STORIES. ]

[ She starts laughing with that - then groans in sympathy. ]

If anyone tried that with Ianthe, I think she'd give them such a look, their insides would all fall out on the principle of the matter.

Punishment chores for something you definitely didn't do. My younger sister once got us all in trouble and we had to weave rash mats for hours in punishment for burning the old ones.

What about chores that were clearly someone else's to complete, but you ended up doing them yourself?

Now that is a conversation that needs a whole keg of wine to talk about.

For it would surely include my brother, who ruled at the time? - all of his administrative duties.
