Saesha looked at her with a small smile, what it was for could not be certain. "It that where you got your "rivers' from?"

Yseult nodded slightly once 'Lord Lucamore Roote sired me M'Lady'

"Do you know who my father was? What my birth name was?" She flicked some water with her fingers, not at the woman, it did not even leave the large bath.

Yseult shakes her head once. 'No M'Lady. Father was kind enough to manage get me the chance of an interview, although I know of some of the Blackfort's in passing I was not made privy to any genealogy details. Apologies M'Lady I only know it was that there a new Lady Harrenhal looking to hire a decently rounded woman to be a handmaiden.'

"Don't apologise, it is of little matter," she was not impressed by her lack of preparedness, she refused to believe she really did not know "I was born Saesha Waters, King Aegon was my father," she said it as it was, not a boast, just informing of of who she will be serving, of she got the job.
"Come join me, Yseult"

Yseult nods her understanding to the first and moving to the Lady's side she flicks her eyes around the room seemingly looking for something then finding the supplies for the room she looks back to Saesha before questioning, 'Do you require me to pass the bath supplies or do you wish me to help with your bath?' She then pauses, looks a little uncomfortable, clearly about asking the question, not the act. 'or does M'Lady require assistance in the tub?' Her expression is subtly asking for clarification since she has no idea as to her Ladyships exact bathing desires.

"When I ask for something, I am very rarely being cute about it, if I wanted you to wash me, I'd tell you to do so. Come join me. Relax after your journey, so we may speak openly. If you get the roll it is one of great trust,, I wish to know you," she didn't bother looking round at her as she moved, just looked forward,

' M'Lady' Yseult says with a deferential bow of her head, she moves to the side, quickly strips, coils her braid into a rough bun out of the way and ties it off with a bit of lashing that appeared as she stripped. She then hops in the tub, carefully as to not slosh it. She settles with a smile and a soft moan of appreciation for the heat, she pinks a little at her reaction and looks at Seasha with an open expression 'What would you like to know of me M'Lady?' She has questions of her own, but figures they can wait till Saesha's are asked.

"You're very young. How is it you feel ours rounded enough to be able to serve me?" She asked, not minding the moan.

She looks thoughtful a moment, thinking of how to word her answer. 'I am literate, I can ride a horse, housekeep, do accounts, keep track of the store cupboards and supplies. I can hunt game, I mostly stick to small things but I've downed bigger prey also. I can cook well enough that nothing is wasted and make the leanest of stores into a feast if required. I can sew well enough to keep my things in good repair and embroider a little. I have worked as assistant housekeeper and as head cook when the roles needed filling. I am not squeamish about animals insides and have had to patch up a few of my fathers staff with my sewing skills, the scars were ugly but they lived.. Oh.. And I'm told that I sing prettily. I used to sing after feasts or when father had important guests. Also I can defend myself, or anyone else with a knife and a bow if needed to. I am hard working, discreet and honest. I admit I do not know all that is required of me in this role but I am more than willing to learn as fast as I can.'

"Of those... Numerous skills... I can see only two that would fit the bill... More if I include discretion and hardworking." Saesha commented, not staying if she did or no. "I do not need a cook, or an accountant, nor a huntress."
She sighed, as if she were weary or bored. "You mean to tell me, you came here for a position, knowing neither who you were serving, nor even what the job entails? You can see how this may make me think you will not be diligent in your roll when you could not even ask at the town or one of my servants exactly who I was."

Yseult looks at the bathwater a moment before raising her eyes to meet Saesha's. 'That is roughly correct M'Lady.. Lord Roote bid me to come straight here with as much haste as possible and to not be late by so much as a moment.. I was told no more than I have already said. I was lead to believe there would be use for my skills here which is why he went to special length he said to gain me audicance with you M'Lady.'

"Well lucky for you, I am bored of interviewing candidates. I will give you a trial period we are going to Lord Tully's son and if you have not proven youre fit for the position then we shall have to part ways." Saesha concluded.

Yseult nods. 'Thank you for the chance M'Lady. I will do my best to serve you in the best way possible. Are there any preferences I should be aware of regarding working for you M'Lady? I will probably notice a lot of your habits and rituals while I carry out my duties.'

"My needs are very few, just make sure my rooms are in order. You can start tomorrow, we can just enjoy our bath for now. Is there anything else you wanted to ask?" She inquired.
