Closed [Bharani Library] Savages (Alses)

[Na'oni]

67th Day of Winter
10 Chimes after the 13th Bell

Na'oni was quite pleased with the city schedule and how fluid it was. It made things easier and more comfortable for her; she disliked being out in the open the way this city forced her and the cover of night made it more comfortable. At least she could hide in the shadows if need be. Unfortunately, it was pointless and ridiculous to waste the daytime just staying inside to avoid being out in the open and thus she made her way towards Tenten peak with the sun shining on her back. She had refused to buy new clothes for the environment and she shook the stray snow off her feet; the first time she had seen snow, she'd been startled and a giggling child managed to explain to her what it the frozen stuff was.

The city was strange and alien to her with its glittering "skyglass" and the tiered mountain-top arrangements. The buildings were so open and lofty, they seemed to breathe all by themselves. And, of course, the dreaded bridges. They made her nervous and dizzy, being so far up, being dangled above the water like that. Supposedly there was a story written on each bridge but she had refused to go slow enough to read it; on each bridge she raced across it like she was running for her life. At first, locals looked at her strangely for running across the bridges but at this point, they just exchanged bemused glances as the watched the tiny Myrian sprint to her destinations.

Today was no different and as she approached the bridge, she gained speed and started sprinting, keeping her eyes ahead. In all honesty, it was a good exercise because she had to dodge everyone else on the bridge and it helped speed up her reaction time. As she reached the end of the bridge, she reluctantly slowed just a hair; the mist made it hard to see who was who and who was where. Her first step off the bridge, she felt her cloaked shoulder hit someone walking the same way. "Sorry" She mumbled in passing, realizing a little too late that she'd used the wrong language. With a shrug, she continued, making her way to the Bhanri Library.
