Estrellir stared. Standing in front of that building, she felt impossibly small and insignificant, a feeling she didn’t like. Despite that, she couldn’t help but gaze in awe at the massive structure of stone and shining skyglass that towered over her. At first she’d thought it to be a temple, but the guards had told her it was a library. The library for there was only one in Lhavit.
So she was standing at the other end of the small square, having lost herself in gazing at the place as others gazed at stars. Her violet eyes were wide and round, reflecting the light of the waning day, and arms crossed in front of her chest. The Konti was wearing simple black attire and leather boots. The only piece of note would be her black cloak, simple yet elegant. The tips of her ivory locks barely brushed its hood and the way she carried herself, she knew how to wear it too. As usual, its pockets were filled with little things, some useful, some of purely sentimental value. She was wearing a dark scarf and gloves to protect her skin against the chill. The mountaintops were much colder than the swamp she’d grown up in or even the mild weather of Konti Isle.
The Kenashian was getting used to Lhavit slowly, but surely. After a morning at the Sunrise Nook which had become her favorite place for waffles and tea, she had braced the wind to explore the peaks some more. She’d planned to wander around, take note of which public institution was located where and how the peaks were themed. Knowing that would not only help her get around, but also give her a feeling of where her own business idea fit in.
However, as she was still woefully new to town, Estrellir had gotten lost. After facing a dead end, she’d turned around, crossed a bridge and ended up in front of Bharani Library. She still didn’t know where she was. Asking the guards hadn’t occurred to her yet.
With a sigh, she shifted her weight and took a few steps to look at the building from a slightly different angle. Perhaps it was trying to tell her something. The way the nooks and crannies cast shadows across its elaborately ornamented façade called to her, nudged her towards darkness. Night would fall soon, but Estrellir didn’t move. Not yet.
