Chapter 201: ARTSY
"What’s that?" The women were curious.
"It’s a toy I made for the baby." Aristia explained.
"A toy?" Roxanne asked curiously, observing the object.
Aristia collected the object from the maid. "It’s called a baby rattle."
"Never have I seen such an object." Roxanne said. The object was made of wood and was round on top with a straight handle. "A baby rattle... What does it do?"
Aristia decided to demonstrate. She shook it and it made a sound like sand hitting against the surface of the wood and each other.
She took it to Valen and shook it, gaining his attention. His eyes opened in curiosity at the sound it made as she shook it, his little eyes moving to locate the source of the sound.
"Bah.. gah... gah." He began babbling and waving his arms, as if he was trying to grab it.
"This sound is softer since he’s a newborn, but as he grows older, you can use this one." Aristia said, shaking another one with a ring shaped handle. It made the sound of beads hitting each other.
"Oh, I see..." Rulia nodded, understanding crossing her face. "You made this?"
"Well, I drew it and got the carver to make it." Aristia shrugged. She had made sure the wood was smoothed with no rough or sharp edges.
"But still, you thought of this? That’s amazing." Roxanne said.
