in a booth

[rider_servant]

She sits with a glass of plum wine and a book in braille, quiet and unassuming. The long strands of her lavender hair almost seem to float around her, though, almost alive.

Sharpe almost sits down in her booth before he realizes she's there.

"...oh. Sorry, lass, didn't see you."

[rider_servant]

She doesn't look up, but her head lifts.

"I am quiet."

[and_far_away]

"That you are. Didn't mean to disturb you, though."

[rider_servant]

"I am undisturbed. Only interrupted," she says with a faint smirk.

Her lavender hair makes Will doubletake as he comes inside to get some lunch as for a moment he thinks Molly has returned.

Then he sees her blindfold and stops himself just a moment to late and knocks her booth,

"Fair day, milady. Forgive me, I fear I've knocked ye."

[rider_servant]

She turns her head to him.

"You did."

A faint smirk.

"I'll survive."

[will_scarlett]

"Color o'yer 'air surprised me was all, milady. I'm Will Scarlett an do 'ope I've na caused ye to spill anythin'."

[rider_servant]

"It has always been this color," she says with a smile. "So I don't know why it would surprise. I am called Rider, and as you see, the wine is fine."

"Good day, Rider." Marsh says, "May I join you - either here or invite you to my world that you might unbind your eyes?"

[rider_servant]

She turns her head to him.

"I should like to see you again, Marsh."

[calledironeyes]

"Then I would like to take you back there." Marsh says with simple honesty "At your leisure, Rider."

[rider_servant]

She closes her book and it disappears as she stands.

"I am ready, Marsh. At your leisure."
