Timestamp: Day 31, Winter of 509 A.V.
She had been in town for only a few hours, having arrived the night before, but the gathering of supplies had taken a lot less time than she had thought. Because of that she now walked just outside of Riverfall, sharing an apple with her beloved horse. They both munched happily as Danica paved the way for them. It had simply started off as some random wandering, moving here and there to catch a glimpse of the sights. However the winter cold soon drove her to find some other activity to pursue. It was when the cold finally nipped at her fingers that she fed the rest of her half of the apple to Altari, enjoying the warmth of his breath on her skin, and went in search of an indoor activity.
She spotted The Sanctuary and steered her way towards it. Her boots crunched against the frozen earth and were echoed by Altari’s footsteps. She brushed a stray piece of hair out of her eyes and looked up at the stairway leading to the entrance. She had never been here before and so she didn’t know if there was anywhere she could possibly leave her horse. She could always go in and ask someone about it. She stood for a moment a little torn but it was either that or stay out in the cold. Altari was a good horse and wouldn’t wander very far without Danica which is what ended up making up her mind. That and a fresh breeze of cold winter air that whipped about her.
She took the steps two at a time as she moved up the stairs. After a minute or two she ran back down them and swung herself onto Altari’s back. There was a gate around back that she could get into and she decided to head over there instead. It only took a few minutes before she was standing at this entrance. An assistant opened the gate for her and Danica stepped through, Altari trailing behind her. With a cool head she took in the sights and went past the riding arena to look at one of the horses in the stable. She petted his nose and Altari stood slightly behind her looking a little curious.
If she did something wrong Danica was sure someone would come to tell her about it, and if someone wanted to speak to her she would just remain out in the open. She could still smell the sea on the cold air and she breathed it into her lungs as she went from stall to stall looking at the occupants, offering a pet or soft word.
