Lina was growing too attached to the goat, and when the goat went to the farm it would be hard on her. It saddened her to know that Lina would miss her pet, however, goats were meant to be on farms--not as pets. Perhaps it was the proper daughter in her that did not assume that Mr. Slade would let his daughter keep the goat.
Clara laughed as the goat's limbs got tangled into themselves and he stumbled, only to pop back up and keep going. Tilting her face to the side to speak Clara's laugh was still on her face and in her tone. "What a clumsy little thing. Clearly it has yet to grow into it's limbs." Much like his daughter.
Looking back at Lina for a moment, Clara turned her whole body to face the table, so she might partake in the tea service and snacks that was there. Once, sitting with him would have made her unease, but after coming to know him, and learn the type of man--and more importantly the type of father--he was; she now felt at ease in his presence.

Traveling was always something both enjoyable and hard on Clara. On one hand, it was delightful to see the lands outside of the world she had come to call home. And on the other, there was Lina. Deciding what to pack for two, always was hard. Then prepping a child for a long journey, and keeping a bundle of delightful energy contained to a carriage for hours.
While she loved Lina, and loved her job to care for the sweet child--when she feel asleep curled into her father, Clara was grateful. Lina was a wonderful child, and despite her limited friends, a very social one. Besides, it gave her a moment to see her employer as a father. Something she had originally thought to see little of, but had learned quickly it was not so. Upon being hired she had assumed he would be too busy to give time to Lina. There was something in his demeanor that had made her assume. Yet she had been proven very much wrong, and very quickly. He was different with her. For her.
"As much as I adore her, when traveling I am grateful that she sleeps. It is hard on her to stay in one place for so long." Something that age would let her grow out of. Children often had trouble staying so still for so long, with nothing but stories or conversation to keep them entertained.

Clara sat with her legs tucked under her, her back straight, with both hands holding her tea. One on the plate, and one on the cup. This however, was the only proper thing she was doing, and it seemed they were having tea with Gilly today. The blanket was not the goat's favorite meal, so he grazed around them. Clara had backed a book, but she knew better than to think that Lina would do anything but play while outside. When one was met with a force of nature, you learned to select the battles you wished to fight. Rather than frustrate them both, Clara would let Lina play until she tired and needed a nap, then read to her until she rested. Or so the plan went.
Sitting down her tea cup on the small plate, Clara reached in the basket they had brought. "There is some biscuits if you want any with your tea." She told the young girl, who would most likely eat the treat and play more than she would drink the tea.
Smiling over at the young lady, Clara added with a hint of teasing in her voice. "Cook even added in some extra so you might share with Sir Gilly." Sometimes Clara wished that Lina had at least a sibling or two. Perhaps then her only friend would not be a goat. Still, it was charming the way they played.

.:Occupation:. Chaperone/Governess to Evelina Slade daughter of Reuben Slade
.:History:. Clara was born the eldest daughter of a fourth son, a man who replied on his monthly income from his father to live off of. This was well enough, and did the family well until the other siblings began to come along. This left the family's pockets growing slimer and slimer as each day passed, and another sibling joined them. Due to limited funds, and not being direct nobility, Clara's choices were marriage (with no dowry) or seek employment. As the family could not afford a season, and with no dowry, Clara turned to looking for work. Educated in the ton's rules, and procedures, it should have been easy for her to find a job as a chaperone or governess--however she was also very beautiful. Mothers and wife's did not wish a pretty face to be near their husbands and sons for fear of temptation. It left Clara struggling to job employment.
Until she would eventually find employment from Reuben Slade, for his daughter. And thus, began the adventure that would change her life.
