If asked about it later, Adi would swear up, down, left and right she hadn't known what sneaking into the building would entail for her.
Really.
It was ridiculously hot, as most summer days were, but today the searing heat was coupled with an urge to get a cold beverage. Adi's thoughts turned to the local inn-surely there she would be able to find a place to sit, cool off, and socialize. Dressed in white clothes with her sleeves rolled up to her elbows, the Skyglow woman sat up on the side of the west bank. Her boots sat on the ground next to her, and her feet dangled in the water. Today, it seemed, was a day to be thankful for being born and raised a Vantha, since there was a very convenient mark located on the back of her neck. This was a mark from Morwen, goddess of winter, and with it Adi had formed a circle of ice and a hole straight through its center. It was through this hole Adi's feet dangled, the ice just starting to melt. The frozen water had already cooled down the water Adi's feet were soaking in, making it much more tolerable to put her hot boots back on. Before the young Vantha sat up, she leaned over the water and dunked her head in, thoroughly soaking her hair. Then Adi flicked her hair back and shook her head briefly, ridding it of excess water. Drops of the chilly liquid trickled down her face and neck, helping her stay cool.
Feet booted and hair dunked, Adi took off in the direction of the inn. Syna's light would dry out most of her wet hair, and what remained by the time Adi reached the front door could be easily shaken out.
Her pace was slow and leisurely-now that she'd cooled off some, the Skyglow was in much less of a hurry than she'd been in previously. Presently, violet eyes found they looked on the front door of the inn, and Adi let out a small sigh. In an effort to make herself look slightly more presentable, the Ice Reaver shook her dark hair out thoroughly before combing her fingers through it to flatten out and tangles and get rid of the larger knots. When she had access to a mirror, she'd brush it more thoroughly, but for now she was satisfied with the job she'd done with the tools she had.
Adi cracked open the door of the inn, looking around before entering. There were a handful of people there, though no one present was a person Adi recognized. Entering, Adi sat down at the bar, two stools away from the nearest patron. She motioned to the bartender, busy attending to someone else at the moment, though when done he hurried over to Adi, who asked for a mug of ale.
Was it interesting? No, but it was fluid she needed desperately.
