[For @myla]
It was far too windy to go hunting today. Aydin didn't have enough materials left to make a lot of arrows, so they didn't want to risk losing arrows on unsuccessful shots. Apart from that, her scent would travel way too far, way too easily, so the animals would smell them long before she'd be able to aim at them. That meant she didn't have anything to do that day, apart from hang around Elderkeep and try not to get murdered or robbed. Little Ember had taken his position on her shoulder as his human walked around the city. The streets were filthy and the people unfriendly. The longer she was forced to stay here, the more she started to despise the city, and the kingdom. It was far too late to get out now, though, so they kept to themselves and spent their days trying to survive.
Aydin had been looking at her feet while walking, which wasn't the smartest move. That way they couldn't see who was coming towards them, or what was going on around her. Ember functioned as her pair of eyes, but the jerboa hadn't said anything in a while. Eventually Aydin look up, only to notice that she was much closer to the gates of the Eldouir estate than she was comfortable with. "Goddammit Ember, why didn't you say anything", she asked. He blinked a few times and repositioned himself on her shoulder. I don't know, I'm sorry, I thought you knew where you were going. She sighed and was about to turn around when a guard stepped forward.
"What are you doing here? You're not welcome to visit the Eldouir estate, you know."
The Dresmondi looked back, a grimace forming on her face. "Don't even worry, I wouldn't want to even if I was allowed", they replied. They wanted to continu walking, but another guard blocked her path.
"It's not smart to talk about the Eldouir like that."
She could feel Ember tense up, and in order not to make him too scared, she bowed her head. "Of course not. My apologies."
