The door was jammed. Sarina pressed her body against the wooden door of her house but to no avail. Piled several inches high outside her door was the fluffy white expanse of snow that had fallen the night before and it wasn’t letting her door open more than a crack at the top. Sarina usually didn’t mind snow. The way it crunched under her feet when she walked on it was actually rather pleasant but when something got in her way, snow or otherwise, she didn’t like it. Angrily she shoved her body into the door one last time. Nothing. The door stayed as closed as ever. Sighing she realized she would need another way out of her home.
The immediate answer that came to mind was her nearby window. Striding over to it she glanced at the snow covered world before pulling it opened, allowing in a cold gust of wind. The window opened just big enough that she hoped she would be able to get out. The air was colder than it had ever been yet that season and though Sarina was wrapped in her thin black cloak she doubted it would be enough to keep her warm in the frigid air. Not having anything warmer to wear, Sarina pulled herself out of the opened window. It was a tight fit but years of being a thief had taught her how to get through tight spaces.
As she had come out of the window head first her hands ended up sinking into the freezing snow as she pulled the rest of her body out. Standing up, she brushed her hands on the outside of her cloak leaving little flakes of snow that almost immediately melted. After locking her window from the inside she shut it, hoping she would find some way to get the snow off her door step to allow her back in. She suddenly remembered she had forgotten to lock her door when she had gone to climb out the window. Leaving a door unlocked in Sunberth was never a good idea with all the thieves that ran around the place but Sarina knew from experience that no thief would spend time digging out her door unless they were positive they had something to gain by getting her house.
The sky was over cast, hiding the morning sunlight that usually covered the early mornings of the city. There was still a bit of snow falling from the clouds but nothing like the previous evenings blizzards. The sight of her breath crystallizing in the cold air prompted Sarina to get on with what she was doing. Her purpose for being out that morning was to get some clothing that would keep her warm aside from her usually thin cloak. She regretted having to get something thicker to wear because it would limit her mobility but as her limbs started to grow uncomfortably cold she started to look forward to some warm new clothing more and more.
