48th of Spring, 514 AV
She felt lost, trapped in a sea of loneliness; frolicking through the dark flowers that littered the meadows, dead due to lack of affection. She felt alone and craved the need for attention. Her mind was whirling with love turned to lust.
She finally wafted to shore for a split second, the tide taking its time to draw back. She took a deep breath of reality, its pungent scent filling up both nostrils. She exhaled the smell, her mind reeling with possibilities.
She found herself bored, quickly succumbing herself to the evil demons of restlessness. She didn’t know what to do given the dull day that had manifested before her eyes.
The clouds were rolling in from the west sending chilly air although it was the middle of spring. The air was damp and a fresh fog had swarmed in on the many flowers that had sprouted abruptly as if overnight had given them some encouragement.
“What do you want to do?” she whined, searching her surroundings for any hint at inspiration. She came up empty handed, sighing in response to her lack of findings.
The woman caught sight of the child she cared for out of the corner of her eye. She was playing with her own hair, trying to strain her eyes to see her bangs as she braided a strand of her golden auburn locks with both hands.
Lenz coughed, trying to send any or all attention over to her. She said again, “What do you want to do?” before adjusting herself on the bedroll she had woken up in.
The morning was going by increasingly slow, dragging by as if it was a turtle with a limp in its step. She almost cried with how bored she was. There was no stress to keep her on her feet, no adventure for her to explore. She was left with the endless thoughts that ran rampant through her head, now quiet. It was almost disquieting how mute they were. It gave her a spooky feeling, one she didn’t not favour.
Ipisol shrugged, her face contorted into a look of concentration. She had her eyes squinted, her fingers almost turning a pallid white from the pressure she was applying to the strands of hair she held between them.
“What do you want to do today?” Lenz persisted, choking on her words. There was absolutely nothing to do in the city today. This was something she had accepted the moment she woke up from a slumber full of wrestles and rumbles.
She seldom had fights with her blanket and the various things that were scattered about the floor of the tent. One time she had even flung a pair of pants across the tent so that it landed on Ipisol’s face in the middle of the night.
Now, she was more restless than that night. She would fling a million more pairs of pants to the other side of the tent, boredom overwhelmed her that much.
“You’re acting like a child,” Ipisol said, losing her attentive stare. “You made me mess up.”
“Me?” Lenz gasped overdramatically, smacking the palm of her hand to her bosom. “Childish? Since when?”
“Since right now.”
“That’s because I’m bored,” she whined, leaning forward and starting to pester the girl. Ipisol couldn’t help but giggle in response, smiling manically as she fell on her back. Lenz proceeded to tickle her stomach until she claimed she had to urinate.
Lenz immediately stopped. She didn’t want the girl to wet herself, but when she made no move to relieve herself outside, the woman reacted with mock anger.
“You liar!” she cried, flinching her hands in terms of scaring the girl into thinking another tickle attack was coming her way.
“No!” she cried out in protest before returning to braiding her hair.
Lenz sighed and brushed her scarlet hair behind both ears. She leant back, creating some distance between herself and the child before letting out a loud sigh. As plain and simple as the word stated, she was bored.
Suddenly a whisper of a sensation burned at the lower portion of her body. For a second she thought she was getting a rash from her pants until her heart started to beat quicker.
Images of her lover from back in Kenash spun out of control in her mind. Amidst all other memories, this one had to come back to haunt her at that particular moment in time. She watched it play out before her eyes, soaking in all facts and all fiction that took place.
Oh, how she missed those wonderful times and how she dreamed of returning back to her home town. The burning sensation started to spread down her legs and up her torso. It tingled and soon started to tickle.
She gulped, the necessity of taking a walk through the city highlighting her list of few ideas like a light bulb. She needed to get out and do something, and that is exactly what she did.
“I’m going out,” she told Ipisol before slipping on her shoes, neglecting to put on her coat and sliding out the door as smooth and soft as a snake.
“I shall be back before dark,” she promised before bracing herself.
She was about to reveal the darker part of herself today and there was nothing in her way to stop her from doing just that.
