5th of Winter 517 A.V.
Maya walked around her room trying to remember the steps to her dance that her instructor wanted her to perform soon. Stopping the girl crossed one leg in front of the other and pushed off the ground raising up on the pad of her left foot, the woman turned in a circle keeping her arms in her natural second position. Taking a deep breath in the middle of the turn, she relaxed her foot down keeping it from fully touching the ground and raised up again. The girl used the momentum to keep herself turning. Slowing down, she put her right foot down behind her left heel bringing her body to a complete halt. Shaking out her hair, the girl looked over at her reflection. She was still in her shorts and tank top from the night before.
“Come on, Maya. You are leaving the city today get your shit together,” the girl said quietly.
Walking over to her clothes, the girl packed up enough clothes to last her while she and Loken would be away. The man had wanted the girl to accompany him out to the North Ravok Outpost. The woman had heard stories of the place being on the edge of a forest. Closing up her bag tightly, she took tally of what money was left from paying her seasonal expenses for fall. The ride out there would be much faster on horse back. There was just one major problem besides the face that the girl did not have the money, at the moment to get get the beast; she did not know how to ride. Her father did not seem to think it necessary. Taking a deep breath, the girl tried to mentally prepare for the twelve day walk down to the outpost.
“Better grab a bite before he gets here. Petching cherry has always shown up early,” Maya whispered to herself and headed downstairs with her bag.
Putting the bag beside her chair, the woman walked into the kitchen grabbing some cooked meat and fresh fruit. It appeared that her brother was already gone for the morning which helped to settle her nerves. For some reason Xander seemed to think he had something to prove to the cherry. Loken seemed to be an outsider from what the blue eyed woman had observed of his mannerisms when faced with a family name. Walking over to the table, the girl shook her head some and ate her food in some sibilance of peace. She could not stop herself from looking down at her wrist wondering when her uncle would deem her ready for the show of status. A knock at her door caused the girl to jump and put a hand over her heart. She did not realize that her entire body had stopped moving while thinking. A female slave walked over and answered the door before calling for her. Maya stood up and walked to the door and spotted exactly who she expected to see.
“Morning, one second,” she said and went back in long enough to grab her bag and return.
