Looking for a friendly face {Taylani}

Postby Aasha Moontears on October 20th, 2013, 7:44 pm

Aasha took in her responds to her question. She honestly felt bad for her, that was for certain.

"Did you ...buy...anyone yesterday?" Aasha remembered the auction yesterday and that she just worked and tried not to think about how wrong it was, she believed that she almost cried but Aasha didn't really remember. She took a breath in, then let it out slowly.

"No I did not." She really wasn't sure how the slave would react to her response.. the woman was a bit stubborn and mean but she understood why. Aasha felt a breeze again that was both cool yet slightly warm. she felt it making contact to her hair which was still in a beautiful braided bun.

Taylani simply nods, not that it mattered at all to her whether or not this one bought someone. In the end it didn't matter, she was part of a culture that promoted such things and that was reason enough to put her into the 'bad' person group. Standing once more, the red head brushed her skirts carefully before turning away from the Drykas woman.

It seemed the conversation had gone on as far as a strained conversation had. It had wasted some time but did not seem productive to Taylani. However it seemed that is all Taylani had now, time to waste. "I suppose I will go and see to my things. Pretty soon I expect you people will be packing up and moving again for the day." This last is said with obvious disdainful emphasis on the word again, clearly showing that Taylani did not care for the constant moving. Though in all fairness she didn't care for much in the way of life in Endrykas, the thought of that caused her to pause before turning and moving away back toward the direction where she had come. Perhaps she needed to make a better effort to learn of these people. Otherwise she would definitely have nothing but time.

The redhead walked off with her arms crossed and Aasha came back to her horse, which he was still standing there looking pretty. She stroked his head gently, and so began her thoughts. She did feel bad for the slave girl, and what may come of her... but all Aasha can do is move on and live her life knowing that she is free and not a slave.

Aasha continue to brush Keno's reddish coat, feed him, and bathed him. Then she went off to practice weaving. Due to meeting Taylani she understood that the world is not always kind. Aasha did not mention Taylani to anyone. Therefore she went about her day like any other.

Notes: Aasha, DO NOT CENTER YOUR POSTS, please. Format them as if you were writing a standard piece of documentation. :) Everything after this thread will be withheld until you stop this practice. Also, watch your tenses. You are not always using third person but are switching in the middle of your posts to first person. “She can see the sun still rising…” in your first post is first person. It should read “She could see the sun still rising…” to make it third person. :)

Taylani is doing this too in her first post. “Her hair hangs loose down her back…” should be “Her hair hung loose down her back..” to keep from switching form third to first person, and back to narrative viewpoint.

That being said, I LOVE how both you ladies set the scene and describe the detail of whats going on in the thread for the reader to understand the backdrop. Great job on that. It makes your posts very enjoyable to read.

Drykas is both singular and plural Aasha. Dryka is not a proper term.

Aasha, try to avoid repeating questions that were asked in posts above. The reader knows what was asked and can follow your responses just fine. You don’t need to repeat them for us. You can say things like “Aasha responded to Taylani’s question.” And then respond. If you repeat the question, you’re treating the reader like an idiot. It annoys a lot of us writers on here. :)

This was a short simple little thread. I kinda wish Aasha had tried to talk to Taylani more about being Drykas and Taylani had questioned Aasha more about getting free.

I kinda want to slap Taylani silly at this point. No one has bothered to tell her that there is an incredibly easy out of her entire situation. If she’d just give up her stubborn pride a bit, bond with a strider, then she’d be considered full Drykas with full Drykas rights and she cold tell Fallon where to shove it and go her own way. It’s amusingly ironic to me that Taylani is plotting all these ways to escape and angsting over her fate when in fact her easiest escape is right there… bond to a strider. :)

Anyhow, nice thread ladies.

As always PM me if you have issues.
