Snow muffled the small footsteps belonging to Alouette. In the crook of her elbow was an old wicker basket that Squire Ulrika had been kind enough to lend her for today, filled with nothing but a chunk of bread and a much smaller chunk a hard cheese. Alouette had to make sure that even when she had the free time to go off and collect what she needed for her dyes that she always carried a snack or two.
The blue sky was without a cloud as it had snowed the day before. The sunlight was weak, unable to melt the snow fast enough to keep it from piling up. How many inches were there beneath her boots now? Alouette tried to look at the trees as a way to measure, thinking back to the spring she spent ditching training with Roki. She couldn’t tell much of a difference from the trees in her faded memories and the trees of now.
“Thank you for coming with me, Nacht.” Alouette said finally, having been quiet since they strode out of the Monastery’s gates. “I know it’s eating into your afternoon but Syr Noa was adamant that someone had to be with me.” She didn’t think bringing Nacht with her was better than her going off on her own, it’s not like he was Gruki and Arbok who made even the most primordial creatures hesitant due to their sheer size and strength. Then again, perhaps his company would be welcome not because of his abilities but because of his amiable personality.
“I could make you a hearth scarf if we find the Sunset Cicada nest. You like the color red, right?” Or was it someone else that liked the color red? Lou almost felt bad for not remembering now.
