Open What is this lovely, pale creature? (Amaria)

[Aleksi]

16, Spring, 513AV

Yet another warm morning of this spring made Aleksi quite happy. She walked out of her tent and with a bright smile on her face, she called out for Luc. He was playing around with Night, her Strider. As the animals approached, she gave them a gentle rub each, whispering Morning babies It didn't take them long to get ready and head towards the walls of Endrykas, for a walk. Or a run... She didn't plan to hunt that day, she was too tired for it. Instead, she just wanted to relax and enjoy the sunlight for once. Her fingers moved up to Night's mane, gripped onto it as she was climbing up. It felt so good to be on the horse again. So natural, so relaxing. Luc was right next to them, growling quietly at the sun, trying to wake up properly. As they left the city edges, it was even more beautiful. A huge field of just nature before them, to do as they wish.... what a day

The dew lay heavy and fat and cold on the tall grass before the gates of Endrykas, shimmering like the stone tears of the earth goddess atop the spring-green forming stalks. It was early, yet, the herdsmen just opening their corrals to let the unmatched striders and foals out into the grass, the Watch beginning the process of switching shifts.

The sun fell soft, still the feathery heat of spring mornings, on the rosy head of Aramenta Stonewhistling, and the darker, shorn dun locks of her slave.

Ara leaned in close to Liv's ear, and whispered, moving her hands in gestures that spoke of dew, and grass and contentment.

Liv smiled, laughed in a low, loose way, "You think, Missy Ara? Ain't warm enough for my comfort," She spoke the Drykan tongue with the familiarity of a native, but the cant and sing-songiness of one who spent time with other, non-native slaves, "Spring 's jus' summer in training, 'sfar as I'm concerned."

Ara smiled, and laughed - or, her body laughed, but with no audible sound to anyone more than a few inches from her lips. She had riding pants on, but her Strider was at home. She stepped into the banks of dewy grass and spun round and round in a circle, the new grass reaching up to tickle occaisionaly stalks as far as her breasts. She wove her hands back and forth, slowly as she spun, a sort of poem of the sign-speak of the Drykas: grass, grass, shining grass, little diamonds, shining grass, pleasure, pleasure, don't ask more, its more than enough for me. Then, she went up on her tiptoes, and fell backwards into the soft green waves, like a girl falling backwards into the sea. The grass caught her and soaked dewdropsinto the tight linen of her blouse, caught and gently drew at the complex braids tied onto the back of her head, leaving snaking tendrils of her hair soaked and clinging to her cheeks. She smiled broadly, and exhaled with divine contentment.

"Right here, Missy Ara? You go on somewhere quieter, you just gonna get testy otherwise, I know you, Mistress." The voice had a playful, chiding tone to it, that brough a playful frown from Ara, and a gesture that was teasingly profane from her hands. She stuck her tongue out, and pulled herself up to standing, whispering beside her girl's ear, again.

It was not her best choice to choose to travel alone. Her thoughts were much of a jumbled mess when the decision was made. The only person she knew of as family was dead, leaving her to be by herself.
"We are almost there," Amaria muttered to her horse. She shook her head right after. She's been on her own for too long that she has resorted to talking to an animal. She knew of people who were able to do so, but for her, a Konti, to do it was odd, at least to her.
As Amaria approached the gate to the town, she saw figures wandering around and wondered if they would accept her. People of her kind were rare to be seen outside of Mura, so she did not know what it was going to become of.
Amaria brought her mare to a stop, climbing off the top with grace. Her long, white hair fell around her like waves, almost getting caught on her horse's bridle. She pulled it out with little fuse. She fixed her white top before grabbing a hold of her horse's reins. She looked at the gate. It was now or never.

I'll have to put this thread on pause for the time being. Aleksi, you're threading in Endrykas and Nyka during the same season, and it would take far longer than that to make it between the two cities. If you want to thread in Nyka you'll have needed to left some time ago, as travel through the Sea of Grass during Winter is crazy hard. Call me insane for stopping people from threading in my domain, but I wanna make sure the travel times are legit.

Anyways, shoot me a PM with what your plan is.
