Huilu did not have steady employment, and as she was away from her clan she could not keep in close touch with those she was leading. So that meant she had a lot of free time outside sculpting, doing paperwork and assisting her chief with the matters of Akt'Anir. And even though Huilu was good at finding ways to bring herself enjoyment she couldn't help but be slightly, well, bored. Which was why she sometimes got perhaps too immersed in the lives of the youngsters that lived under her roof. Huilu never got to grow up in a diverse, but treacherous world like this and thus she was equal amounts fascinated and worried for Eein, Whisp and S'loo.
Huilu had just finished with a statue in her workshop, or otherwise called the garage. Huilu had claimed the space as her own personal place, and she had made the request that Eein, Whisp and S'loo talk to her first before entering. Huilu was a very tolerant and open person, but even she needed peace from time to time.
From the workshop Huilu heard that someone was at the door, and she walked through the house over to it. She was wearing a simple white shirt and jeans, and her hair was tied up in a ponytail. Huilu always had this casual look around the house, unlike outside it. When elsewhere Huilu tried to appear more on the dignified side, she knew that even though no one should judge others based on appearance it mattered in the opinion that was formed of you. She had been raised to think that, and Huilu agreed with it on some level.
Huilu opened the door, at first with a neutral expression, but it turned into a gentle smile when she saw Liam. Ah, yes, Whisp had mentioned the boy was coming over today. Thus far Huilu had a very good impression of Liam, although he was unsure and rather timid he was a gentle soul, and she was happy Whisp had a friend like him. Well, now they were more than that, apparently. Huilu was happy for the two, but as always she was also concerned. But she didn't show it, not if there wasn't a reason to.
"Good day, Liam. Please come in, and please do call me Huilu. There is no need to treat me so formally, we are of equal standing in this house."
Huilu said with her usual kind tone and gestured for Liam to come in.
"Unfortunately Whisp stepped away for a small while. I believe she said she was going to purchase something to eat for you two. But you can wait inside."
To Liam's question Huilu simply shook her head.
"Do not worry, you did not interrupt anything. Rather, your timing was impeccable. I had just finished what I was doing."
Huilu smiled and gestured for Liam to follow her to the kitchen.
"Would you like to have anything? Thanks to my very capable tenants I have most refreshments a young body might crave."
Huilu chuckled as she opened the fridge, it indeed had many kinds of sodas and some juices and other drinks inside it. But nothing alcoholic, Huilu made sure of that.
