"Oh right, of course."
Seren was beginning to get the impressiong that Althea wasn't the chatting type. Shame.

"My holidays were swell. Visited Maya in Mexico for a couple weeks..." It didn't really occur to Fina that Seren had no idea who Maya Saylen was. "And then just spent some time with the family. How about you, Seren? How were your holidays?"
"I'd love some tea, thank you." Of course she would. When didn't Fina enjoy tea?
"Maya?... Sorry I'm not sure I know who that is." Family member? School friend? But it was lovely to hear she'd had a lovely time. Mexico would have been fascinating!
"Oh the usual really... brilliant as always. Went back to Australia for a couple of weeks, then went to visit the family in Wales... spend a few days at home before coming back here." And a good thing she did too, the greenhouses were in a dreadful state. She didn't even want imagine how stressful it would have been had she not rturned early.
Seren sipped her tea after pouring one for Fina.
Gosh she loved the smell of fresh peppermint. So clean and crisp, and very good for circulation.
