Closed A horse and figs(Miu)

[Lyn'nice]

51st of Winter 513 AV Early Noon Lyn'nice stood basket in hand among the fig trees. She took her time harvesting the figs, making sure they were perfectly ripe and flawless. Which was an easy job as a Bala follower had been down this row of trees ripening almost every fruit there was. It was an easy job, they had been giving her easy jobs as she had been feeling a little weak and queasy and she had an idea of why. She decided to take a short break as she was getting winded easily recently. Her gold Undanas glittered in the sun as she brushed a hair off her face. With a sigh she turned to a well known Orchard Constrictor she called Nancy, "They said an Akalak pregnancy would be hard... But, I'm not even a trimester in and I already feel so weak, Nancy. I'm eating my weight in shellfish and squid everyday." Lyn'nice sighed. She turned to Nancy only to find she/he had vanished in a hurry. There was a rustle not too far from where Lyn'nice and Nancy had been laying. Cautiously Lyn'nice got to her feet and slowly made an attempt to get closer to what had scared Nancy. She had no weapon if it was someone out to do her harm, although as a Nakivak she was protected by Riverfall. She was just a tree away from whoever or whatever it was. This was it. She jumped out from behind the tree and found something she would of never expected. "A...horse..? You're a...horse. How? Why? A horse. There is a horse in The Orchards." She approached the horse, "Easy, easy. I'm not going to hurt you." Lyn'nice ran a hand down the horses neck, "There. See? I'm nice. But this is a first finding a horse here. Just behave, ok? I've gotta get back to work." She made her way back to her basket and began to resume her fig picking. Until a noise behind her made her jump. The horse. "I see, are you looking for company? Well, you win. You can stay, just don't eat my figs."

"I will find peace within the future, This is what drives me forward."

Rowan had been roaming, following her nose as she found herself in the orchards, it had been only ten minutes of chomping down on figs she found herself behind a white haired woman that looked somewhat like her master but smelled odd.. the cream and white pinto mare sniffed at the back of her head as she worked, reins still on and saddle as well, her pink and black nose poked at the back of her neck.

Miu had just turned to find her mare gone, she gasped in shock before grabbing her bow in anger thinking someone had stolen her. after tracking her prints and smell she found herself in the orchards, she couldn't see Rowan though. angered she let out a roar, "ROWAN!!!"

[Lyn'nice]

Lyn'nice laughed as the horse sniffed at her neck, "Do I smell like the sea? Or saltwater?" She ruffled the horse's mane,"You're such a sweet thing, you know that right? Your owner must be worried about you." She continued to coo over the horse" Such a pretty mare. Yes you are!" She giggled some more."Now, I need to get back to harvesting figs. If you're still hungry eat from that grove right over there." She waved to a small little grove."I need the figs that are over here." Returning to her work of fig picking Lyn'nice moved to the next tree covered in ripe figs. She began to hum happily to herself. Placing her now full basket down Lyn'nice moved to a new empty basket and returned to the trees. Lyn'nice was working now on her fourth basket of figs and oddly enough the mare followed her the entire way. She was half way finished with her basket when from somewhere out in the orchards a voiced boomed. Loud and angry. Lyn'nice took notice of how the mare reacted, "You know that voice, don't you? Rowan, is that your name? Well, now I guess we're formally introduced." Gently taking Rowan's reins in hand, Lyn'nice began leading the horse back to her owner. It wasn't long before they came to a white haired girl who seemed to be fuming over something. "Excuse me miss, are you the one who lost their horse? I found her by the figs, she's good company and a sweetheart to boot. My name is Lyn'nice."

"I will find peace within the future, This is what drives me forward."

she heard the mare coming though and slowly lowered her bow, she looked wild... dirty and confused with anger...

"Rowan..." she clicked her tongue and held out her hand to the mare who pulled away from the other white haired woman wondering how there could be two white haired women before her but was too busy reaching up into trees to chew on the fruit there, "um... I don't have money to pay for that." she pointed to the figs looking to the girl, she had an odd pair of gray eyes and even odder snow white hair that was short in the back and long in the front starting at behind her ears as if she had once had a braid. "Or... uh... those baskets I tripped on..." she rubbed the back of her neck getting uncomfortable around so many people.

[Lyn'nice]

"Well lucky for you those aren't my baskets as for the fruit..." Lyn'nice stopped to think, "I'm honestly not sure. This is the first time that I know of where a horse has gotten into the orchards." She looked over the girl, "Are you okay? You're all dirty. You didn't get hurt did you? If so let me see it, even if it's just a scratch." Lyn'nice sat down on a large rock, she was winded from the walk. Taking a hand she rubbed her belly and smiled to herself. She looked to the girl, "Don't mind me I just need a breather from the walk over here. They don't kid about how hard an Akalak pregnancy is." She laughed to herself softly, "Darn, now I'm hungry all over again." She turned back to the girl, "Hey, I've got an idea, help me with fig picking. It might make up for the baskets and fruit. Plus then we could get something to eat, if you want." It was an odd offer as the girl in front of her had looked slightly demented when she had returned her horse.But it probably just because she was worried.

"I will find peace within the future, This is what drives me forward."

Miu shook her head, "This is what the forest does to the body." she watched her rest and raised an eyebrow, "I fear they will take me as a pet instead of predator... but I shall help you." she was rather boyish in a way, Climbing atop Rowans back she reached into the trees already having basket, stretching up to show her ribs under her dirty shirt as she started to fill it. "Do you eat... fish?" she was trying to chit chat as she was already working, she seemed to like it and was rather fit in a way. "I am not wounded... only a few fire burns and cuts from fish scales." she smiled slightly trying to show off a bit, "I'm Miu... Just Miu and this is Rowan..."

[Lyn'nice]

Lyn'nice stood up making her way toward Miu, "Please give me your hand for a moment." Taking the girl's hand Lyn'nice closed her eyes and focused, chaneling the healing goddess Rak'keli. Had she not been wearing long sleeves Miu would of been able to see the Konti's healing gnosis glow faintly. She soon let go of the teen's hand. "It's my job no matter how little the cut or scrape, friend or enemy... I must heal them. It's what Rak'keli has asked me to do. I was born with her mark and I use it whenever a chance arises." The Konti smiled at her, "You should be cut and burn free now. Besides a young girl like yourself shouldn't have any scars." She laughed at Miu's question of fish, "Yes! I most certainly do! Even more so now that I'm expecting. But then again, being a Konti... Am I not part fish myself? But yes, I love seafood especially squid." A childish smile graced her face. However it was soon replaced by a confused look,"Why..would someone..take you... as...a pet? You mean like a human slave? Or?" A thought crossed her mind. It would make sense if that was what she meant..."Miu?" She asked softly and gently,"Are you perhaps by chance, a Kelvic and not just a teenage girl?"

"I will find peace within the future, This is what drives me forward."

She let her take her hand and felt the slight warmth there, she had clay under her long finger nails and burns around her wrist, the cuts were small but soon gone to her surprise. "That's some trick there." She didn't say much realizing her slip of her tongue when she spoke of her race openly when normally she wouldn't do such a thing. "Ah yes... uh..." She pulled from her pack two smoked fish wrapped in deer skin, it wasn't very soft but flexible enough to wrap around her catches. "I have a few more at my tent... We can cut these up and eat them if you like, its better with salt from the Marsh but I haven't found any lately. I have tried boiling the salt out of the sea water but my claw bowl is lacking in shape." She got down from the horse pulling the nearest rock to her to unwrap the fish on. "I have a makeshift stove now, it wasn't very hard to make..." She was trying to assure her that the fish was well prepared.

[Lyn'nice]

Lyn'nice giggled, "It's no trick. See?" She rolled up her sleeve showing a long opalecent swirl running down her arm. "Most Konti are born with either Rak'keli's healing mark or her sister Avalis' mark of Divination. I was born a healer, not a seer and I'm fine with that. It does come with a price of sorts, we cannot turn anyone away from healing." "You seem ashamed of what you are... You should be proud of who you are. I know Riverfall doesn't really have any laws protecting Kelvics and just views them as pets. But that doesn't mean everyone feels that way about Kelvics. I don't believe I'm any better than you just because you're Kelvic. I know there are a good number of Kelvics here in Riverfall, however you're the first I've gotten to talk with." Lyn'nice happily accepted the fish, "Miu, I've eaten fish raw before, actually I eat it raw quite often. So this will do just fine. Plus it looks delicious!" Lyn'nice smiled as she took a bite of the fish. "So do you have everything you need where you're living? Let me know if you ever need anything."

"I will find peace within the future, This is what drives me forward."

She watched the woman eat picking out a good piece to eat listening, "I am not ashamed of my race, What my family has done is what dwells." she spoke lightly of it chewing on the fish. "I do not know many Konti." she had eyed the marking heavily before closing her eyes for a moment as if calming her thoughts. "That is a gift, I hope you use it wisely." She was sure the woman would but it seemed like something to say at least, she began to describe her camp then combing her fingers through her hair. "I have traps all throughout where I camp and a makeshift stove as I said before... I am working on a clay hut and work as a hunter at the stained pelt for five gold mazia's a day, I also have citizenship." She rolled up her sleeve to show the dark inked mark there on her wrist. "I am keeping warm too... My furs are useful but I still need to work on softening them." She grew quiet eating another piece, "I do not need help, no." She was low on money and supplies but as a hunters mind goes, 'Needs and wants have a very thick line, do not waste and take what you need.'
