Time Stamp 81st Fall Early Morning Bells,
The morning was starting out pleasant enough, the normal bustle of the city as the Drykas began to break down their pavilions and tents, their stalls and markets abounding all around her. Just a few turns of Leth past this would have seemed absurd thing to do to the Red headed captive from Syliras, but now Taylani moves with easy around the tent poles laid aside to be bundled onto a wagon for carrying. Such is the life of the Drykas, always on the move, never keeping their striders or horses in one place too long.
Taylani moves along the southern edge of the camp, simply walking to gain exercise before she must return and help with Fallan's familial pavilion and packing. The Amethyst clan didn't have as much as other clans perhaps because they chose to specialize in things that did not take much materials. Horses, and leather working mostly, so Taylani had a little bit of free time in the morning after breakfast.
Now that she was refusing to practice her dance, to save her self the mental anguish of what was lost, she gets her exercise in by walking..a large amount of the time. Drykas gave her odd looks for who would choose to walk when there were perfectly magnificent horses nearby? However it kept Taylani's body in shape even if she was just beginning to lose the extreme tone that had defined her musculature thanks to dance. In about seven to eight months from now Taylani figured she wouldn't be up to such long walks, and her body will definitely be changed drastically but until then she did what she could.
Her red hair was braided again, this time Fallan's sister Adelia helped her so it didn't look messy or inept. Swept back at the temples twin tiny braids meet in the back to braid down her neck, joined by three other twin tiny braids until her entire hair was braided down her back, with four rows of tiny braids on the side of her head. There were even two glass Amethyst colored beads nestled, one at the nape of her neck and one a her crown. She looked in the reflection of the water barrel and was almost dismayed to see a Drykas looking woman staring back. Her clothing was even Drykas, green linen breeches with a lavendar blouse that dipped low enough to expose just the tops of her bosom, though even that had made her self-conscious the first couple days of wearing them.
Now that the storms have blown through, and the grasses drying, the last of the rain finally finished not many bells past, Taylani took the time to look out into the grasses. She was looking south, not north, but still the expanse of the land was terrifying at times, for someone who was so used to protective walls. But now that Fallan had got a child upon her, she would have to learn to live without the walls. If she was to be apart of her and Fallan's child's life then she would have to forgo his promise of taking her back to Syliras once she weaned two children from her breast for him.
A sigh is given, but its not as sorrowful as she had thought it would be. In the distance she saw striders with Drykas, perhaps some of the Watch had guided someone through the southern sea to Endrykas. Taylani stopped her walk to watch as the riders grew closer.
