Abilene nodded, returning to a business-like manner. Her relief still remained, but it was less evident on her face, though she still smiled. She noticed how Mrs. Appleton was staring at her, but she didn't flinch under the gaze, only a light flush came to her cheeks. A humble girl, attention on her always made her uncomfortable, another reason why she was so willing to stay out of sight if her new employers required it. "Thank ye, ser," she replied gladly. Though she was slender, she was strong from many years of carrying her younger sister Linnie and Linnie's wheelchair around, mostly up and down stairs, so Abilene was quite willing to help move things- in fact, she'd feel bad if she didn't help.
