(this thread is for @warren )
Tara didn't know what would follow open court and her revelation (the entire kingdom knew now) but she had a few things to finish before her nephew sent her to Cambria: one being her work with Kennet and the other was finishing a armour piece for a special friend to be gifted on her return from service. The latter of her tasks was where Tara was off to today she was dressed in leather pants and hide boots that matched the deer skin coat adorned over her shoulders. Under that a thick cotton tunic and apron, she had her worked rolled up in furs tucked under her arm, Vekka her second oldest walked on front of her Mother slighlty whole two guards trailed.
The King had been very accommodating having set up a small private temporary forge for Tara. It was one of the chilliest days of Autumna so far that as the two women conversed their breathes could be seen lightly in the air.
"... he's definitely sending us back?"
"Yes for the hundredth time Vek, but the when I don't know, why?" Tara hummed curiously, Vekka had been moodier lately but no one really noticed as the girl was always so darkly chipper. Vekka looked over her shoulder at her Mother then dropped her eyes to the floor, "I'm almost seventeen and I still have a whole year before I officially graduate training...I want to go back to Cambria as a soldier, as your guard," the notion was startling but touched the heart of Odina still lingering behind her true new face and name, "I can't do that if we leave before. Unless," Tara cocked an eye brow now, "Unless?"
Vekka didn't look back and she got quiet for a bit chewing her cheek but Tara didn't see this, "I stay behind or we ask Cassian to let me graduate early...I'm years a head of most of them anyways and even back in Cambria I can train...serve...protect..you and Nevermere interests...oh goddess....chill chill...it's Lieutenant Woodwick."
Tara tore her eyes away from Vekka to what her daughter was looking at that had her so suddenly flustered. A handsome and strong man was walking their way a smirk spread on Otara's lips as it caught up to her why Vekka suddenly stopped shushing her. Vek stood straight as a soldier hands straight and stiff by her sides giving the ranking officer a proper salute...why? Tara wasn't sure the man hadn't looked as if he was going to speak to them so it drove her theory further that Vekka was crushing on this Lieutenant Woodwick.
Of course as they stood now some forty steps away Tara cocked a hand on her hip totally oblivious that she herself was oogling the man, while she definitely preferred the same sex the Cambrian in her saw a strong man to procreate with each of her children's Father's were from Coheed carefully selected just as she was doing now. Just his presence was strong just like his hands, and his arms...Vekka had whispered something but Tara was deep in thought...
