For theatrical_muse Three Things

It had rained from the moment she woke up, which was a good half hour before anyone else, to the moment they arrived back in camp after another day of shaking hands. Everyone was soaked through and in surly moods. Even Glitch snapped at someone with a sudden and surprisingly wicked description of just how clumsy the young guard had been. The boy looked heart broken and it took until well after the meal was made and consumed to convince him there was nothing personal about the criticism. How could there be when Glitch couldn't remember his own name most days?

Most of their party had rushed to change into dry things or had taken a long moment to just sit and catch their breath. Azkedillia too those first moment to make sure the camp fires were well lit and a meal started. There was no point sitting around and her clothes would dry better on her body anyway. DG tried to stop her, but Azkedillia shook her head hard.

"No. I'm looking forward to a hot meal, some privacy, and sleeping naked under that huge fur blanket of mine. None of which I can have until all this is done." She handed her sister a bucket for water. "Now, are you going to help me or not?"
