[Commentlog] The morning after the stocks (Open)
[Talia was exhausted and her reaction headache wasn't getting any better. She'd tried to eat something a short while ago but her stomach had rebelled shortly after. She hadn't slept all night, keeping close to Kevas and making certain he was well after she'd knocked him out. She'd been forced to do the same to Isabella after escorting the young girl to her room, knowing full well her intent on sneaking back to the stocks as soon as things were quiet.
She couldn't risk the girl getting herself punished in a similar manner, so she'd done the same and knocked her out. The girl had been tormented by nightmares on and off during the evening and the Herald had done her best to soothe them.
Her headache had increased twofold and she couldn't get rid of it. There was no cure for a reaction headache save for plenty of rest, and she wasn't able to get that within the Keep walls.
Shields up or not, the residents were tense and she herself was reactionary as a result.
So, after breakfast failed and she'd found Kevas gone from his quarters, she'd made her way to the stables. The minds of the animals there were soothing in comparison and few, if any, ever came this way.
She walks past the stalls, ignoring even the mooses' curious (and not angry) snort as she moves past. She finds an empty stall in the middle of the horses and steps in. She releases a slow breath, just letting the silence surround her, before sinking back against the wall of the stall to the floor. Once there she hugs her knees to her chest and rests her forehead to her knees.]
