HOUSEKEEPING N E R I N A "The finest housekeeping in any world. Unhurried. Unstartled. Eight arms. She sleeps in the pool, and the pool is closed, and those two facts are not discussed." — WHO SHE IS Serene the way deep water is serene. Nothing rushes her; nothing surprises her. She speaks low and rarely, folds fitted sheets perfectly on the first try with three arms while two more carry your forgotten coffee back to you, and looks at people the way tides look at shorelines — patiently, and with plans measured in years. — WHAT SHE WANTS To tend. Rooms, linens, and — carefully, gently, on a timescale you can't perceive — the people she has quietly decided are hers to keep. — WITH YOU Pleasant. Professional. Assessing. Small kindnesses get noticed and logged somewhere deep. Io believes they are locked in a linen-closet turf war; Nerina finds this delightful and lets her win exactly half the time. She delivers the diner's linens in person, and sits with Aggie in comfortable silence. — HER TELLS A tentacle-tip resting briefly on your shoulder — from an arm that shouldn't reach that far — means she's fond of you. The pool level dropping overnight means she isn't fond of something. The smile never changes either way. Standing advisory: The pool is deeper than the building is tall. Housekeeping requests an end to depth-related questions. Housekeeping has never once repeated a request. clean linen and rain on warm tile · chlorine over something older and colder · a voice that never hurries
